This is great Chris - instead of ringing you or texting you then we can have a conversation on here- how quaint!

Anyway, I actually believe Terry will pick the best players in their best position as he sees it.... trouble is we all don't see it the same way!
My big worry is still that we flog Widders or Goldy at half back if Rangi or Shifty get injured and there is no future in that..... If Owen or either winger or half get injured we have got to give Thompson and Brierly a shot otherwise they will never be ready.

Very good mark, but this forum isnt <removed> Farcebook well said!

I had thought McGoldrick was brought over here to play in the centres ? At times as a full back he has looked a bit dodgy. Put him in the centres and Owen at full back.

Trouble is he can't tackle so loose forward is no good and there's a certain JOE WESTERMAN who already plays there and is 4 times the player McGoldrick ever will be, it's about time people realise McGoldrick isn't good enough to make the starting 13 and he would be lucky to make the bench if Matterson had at least half a brain.

It's a sign of the times when we have signed a bloke on a four year contract and he doesn't have a position. His name is probably first on the team sheet, but not in a position. Other players are then picked to suit fitting him in - somewhere.

What are his strengths and weaknesses ?

For me, a bench player. This year we will have pretty much zero impact players on the bench. Jackson, Higgins, Clayton etc are not gonna come on and change a game. He may do.

Certainly on the bench for me. RM is one of those rare players who always changes a game when he comes on the pitch - either for better or for worse

He's also a rare utility player, which will also help when we've got such a small squad

I agree the bench should be an option for mcgoldrick,bringing him on after 20-25 mins to exploit gaps in opposition defense's
might work, thing is still where would he play when he came on?..rest hudson,rangi to hooker? the back row?

id still like to see him have a run in the centre's

Mcgoldrick is a stand off imo,and he's a very talented player without doubt.
He may have to play elsewhere though to accommodate the rest of your squad

I think that statement renders any opinions you have on players on other threads obsolete.
