There are 3 clear points in this thread.

1. Could McGuire make it as an NRL 6.

2. The ability of Nathan Hindmarsh in tackling.

3. Your assertion that NRL stand offs make 30 tackles a game.

All anybody is asking you to do is prove your 3rd point. You however refuse to do so and continue going on about point 2 as this clearly isn't a valid point so you can sit on your high horse regarding it.

Thats me done on this thread, can't be dealing with people who completely avoid clear questions.

well when im satisfied on the earlier points ill answer the later points.

and again, i didnt raise the hindmarsh issue either, it was the person that thinks he knows a thing about the nrl.

nathan hindmarsh after round 2 was ranked 2nd in most tackles made in the nrl.

100 tackles in 2 games = average of 50.

But he has missed 13 - so in reality he has actually made 87 tackles.

I have not said on this thread that Hindmarsh is not a good defender I am merely pointing out that your assertion that "Hindy hardly misses any tackles" is not backed up by fact.

My point that anyone who attempts as many tackles as he does will miss a few is bourne out by the stats.

Now please show us the stats backing up your claim that half backs in the NRL make 30 tackles a game.

ill bet you didnt even know finch played origin.

and off the top of my head i think tim smith won a Dally M rookie of the year award as well.

when his form was good he was doing some amazing things at half back.

Finch wasn't the one who played game one when somebody pulled out scored a late drop failed to gain selection in game 3 in favour of Barrett didn't play origin again until 2006 he played game 1, was so bad in game 2 he was replaced by Craig Gower - and hasn't featured since - so 3 games of Origin some player.

When was Smith's form any good - he has been poor for the last two years he was at the Eels and he has been ousted by an 18 year old kid at Wigan his form is that poor - his defence is laughable.

Really - well mister know-it-all come on and give us the stats about half back making 30 tackles - you can't because it simply doesn't happen - just admit you over cooked it like the majority of your posts and move on

so have you admitted you were a total idiot to make fun of hindys tackling given hes one of the best tacklers in the nrl.

1. finch kicked a winning field goal at origin

2. as i said above im pretty sure smith won the Dally M rookie of the year, his first year was brilliant, year 2 wasnt bad but alcohol problems wrecked it.

wrong on finch, wrong on smith, wrong on hindy.

hmmm

This site is poorer for some of the rubbish that swamps these threads.
There are posters that keep people away from this forum, I am almost there myself.

nobodies forcing you to poor dear.

and the bigger irony of your post is i started this thread.

You can't avoid it when you bring your trash into every thread and derail it

It's not so difficult. Ignore Dally and a couple more and you'll be right as rain
