I know that but Benji has played 6 for years, regardless of the 3 games at 7 this year. Wernt Wests once talking (3 or 4 years back) about signing McGuire and moving Benji to 7?



Dont know ho that would have worked because they both tend to play the game identically, and when they are off then you really know about it

the bulldogs were the team interested in mcguire.



it was after leeds beat them in the WCC and they saw how good he is.



i still believe that would a current NRL club want danny mcguire for the 6 position?



no way in hell.



would they get him as a utility and then maybe after a few games give him a try there, maybe.



benji is a much better player than mcguire anyway.

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.

Darren Lockyer is the same height as McGuire and a whopping 2kg heavier

hes a special player.



and when he moved to 6 their werent many fans of it, nor for the first 2 years of his play.



and this is lockyer.

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.

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.

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.

simple solution, if you dont like a thread, dont read it.



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

I take it Ellis will not be released for the mid season test against France. Hopefully he has a good season playing against those aussie internationals.

every thread i post on eh?



more BS



others say they can ignore it, it must just be the less knowledgeable posters who feel insecure

you not been banned yet?

You struggling to read or something? - what I said about Hindmarsh's tackling is exactly what the stats are saying - not sure what you are struggling to comprehend other than once again you have been proved wrong - in two games he has missed 13 tackles that is an average of over 6 a game - that does not support your claim that he hardly misses any tackles - so I am correct and you once again are wrong

Idiot - Finch has played three games of origin - the last of which was three years ago, Smith won the Dally M in 2005 - we are not talking about what these players were doing then we are talking about what these players are doing now - Smith is being kept out of a very poor Wigan side by an 18 year old rookie and Finch will only see origin if he were the last man standing. As for Hindmarsh see my earlier post



So I suggest that you are wrong on all three counts?



Now when are you going to give us the stats on the 30 tackles a game half backs?

good to see youve worked out finchy is an origin player.



well done



thats about the only sense in that post.

spud you are trolling another thread ive started.

oh the irony......











who's this 30 tackle a match 5/8th anyway?

spud because you dont have a sense of humour and are getting upset over this ill stop making fun of ER.



he can post whatever he likes about the nrl in this thread and you can agree with him



ill keep the laughter to myself and not make it public.
