Josh McCrone

[Duff]

We haven't had a 20's team with so many prospects since the one with DCE, Foz, Buhrer, Lussik, JWH and co.

I posted my thoughts on @Kiwi Eagle thread...gone?
Just to clarify my thoughts on McCrone....No,no,no,no,no He'd do a cpl things ok, then follow that up with some freaky ****ups....bit like Brad Takairangi @ Parra, Daniel Mortimer @ the Tits and to a lesser extent SKD in previous years(Was going well this year!)

Figured we didn't need 2 identical topics on it so gave it the flick

I think he'd be a decent 5/8 signing, not a world better but capable at NRL level and a solid foil for DCE

Last time Canberra made the finals he was the man that led them there, winning a few games with good plays so nice to have someone capable of producing something like that every now and then

There are just too many options already. Lyon, Hiku, Symonds, Gutherson, Travers, Pearsall, Aldridge (purposely not saying Snake).

You should have purposely not said Symonds also. He's no 6.

Hopefully this time we keep more of them 🙂

Think outside the square, man.
It's going to be the DCE show. T-Rex won a Q cup at 6.

I reckon he would be a reasonable signing and would play a similar secondary role that Blake green plays at storm. He is a better player than Blake green

 

[Loobs]

Depth. Is he younger than JLJ because if so, fine, whatever etc.

 

[tookey]

Brett Fulton in charge of recruitment now I see

 

[Andrew..]

Just depth with some first grade nous. Hopefully a few more quality signings to follow.

That would be the death knell of this great club.

I agree, this isnt as bad as people think. We don't have the $$ to get a top liner, and McCrone has always been a solid first grader who has been put in the position of main playmaker which he is not. DCE will be running the show, and McCrone won't have that pressure at Manly and can play to the structures Barrett puts in place.

He is not the same type of player as DCE which is a good thing, they should compliment each other well. I think if this report is true, then people will be pleasantly surprised; although, any new combination will take time to form.

Sounded to me as though Rudolph would get 1st shot next season listening to Vave and the commentators last week.

Halligan and his mates on SKY are jibberers with no idea.

I think Mccrone would be an astute signing as a Littlejohn replacement on a small contract. But I think Taylor, Cornish and Mason Lino probably have more up side.

But he did have hodgkinson as the halfback and the amazing Shane Neumann on his outside.

Hmmmm McCrone is already 28 and is from Barrett's home town. This better just be a NSW Cup signing.

I think Clint Halden and Jeff Robson come from there too. Sign em up.

 

[Not Paul Kent]

Just an observation, is it any coincidence our most successful 20's sides have coincided with our worst seasons in the top grade?

In both of these seasons we've focused more on these players as potential future first graders and given them more support as a result. Could the success of these sides be a byproduct of this increased support giving the young blokes some confidence?

With all due respect wombat, i barely get through your posts as the avatar distracts me - plz keep posting lol

 

[Eagles2nv]

If we are looking at xanverra players surely cornish is a better option

 

[double hoops]

Solid option. Especially if Mateo is the 13. And DCE wears the 6. He will do just fine.
