Why are you always so angry?

McDonald did well for us in his short spell otherwise it's unlikely that the reigning SL Champions would have signed him from us.

Since you mentioned it the stats are that he scored ten tries in seventeen games for us. Not a world beater but he certainly doesn't deserve to be mentioned alongside Maiava and Evans.

Not angry at all and my quote about stats was proven right.He just didn’t seem to run his weight that’s all .As for the reigning s/l champions signing him,fair play but he wasn’t that standard imo

Just loves an argument, manages to disagree with everything I say, always agrees with Talentboy too, which makes me wonder too.

Agree on Mcdonald, decent player for us, we wanted to keep him, what props scores that many tries, went onto to play over 100 games for Saints, Leeds and Wigan. As you say we have has alot of worse players than him and shouldn't be held in the same company as those mentions, who were both awful.

Very good .....no chance

He was ok

Likes of Minichello and Kelly were very good wouldn't class Mcdonald near that category

Don’t love a argument at all and tbf mate,you do talk a lot of sense and I do agree with 90% of the time but if I disagree il tell you.Thats the good thing about fans opinions,I just didn’t rate him but agree about him not being as bad as the 2 you have mentioned but nowhere as good as other better 2nd rowers.Mind you,he’s not as bad as a Aussie we got in the 80s…Dave Brown had a big reputation and was a Aussie international…by god he was bloody awful.As for agreeing with talent boy…what a insult,he talks b@lls 99% of the time and the other 1% isn’t much better.

Kelly?…he was a bloody stand-off,not a 2nd rower/prop…You can’t compare them at all and stop banging on about a pack from 6/7 years ago.

I was merely pointing out players who were "very good"

Mcdonald wasn't in that category for us

Just alarming how bad our pack has gotten since then 6 years isn't that long really

Funny how most of what I say ends up right :SUBMISSION:

I'll say it now 3 or 4 years from now Houghton people will be like we could of done better

Yes he's a legend for tackle 52

But we'd have won more than 2 challenge cups with josh Hodgson as our 9

Can't have a 9 with no attacking threat
