It's a very big ask to play in Super League, the potential is there, but for me I'll leave it to the end of the season to see how he develops.
He's definitely going to be on the receiving end of a few high bombs next Sunday ![]()
Even good wingers have bad games - Brian Carney did. When Manu Vatuvei first started he stuggled with a log of high balls. In fact he got a rep of not been able to catch. Last season this rep stuck with him even though he was catching balls and then running at players. He was 'so bad' he got an end of season NRL award...best winger I think?

Donald is playing exactly like he did in his 1st season at the moment, IMHO it's fairly clear that he's a much, much better player on the left.
He's more comfortable scooting from the left, receiving the ball from his right (last season he would have grounded that no-try, IMO), finishing in the left hand corner (despite carrying the ball in his right hand). Also playing outside Keith doesn't do your game much harm.
Not knocking Donald here by the way, just don't think he hits the heights on the right hand side.'"
Totally agree..!! Why have we broken up a very succesful partnership on the left ?? It's not as though Hall didn't play on the right wing last season...He DID ???!!! |

I think it's to give the other teams a bit of hope. |

The RHS was a real problem area for us last year. Bluey has recognised this. If we mute a little bit of attacking ability to shore up this side then I Can live with that.
Two tries in 3 games (both from kicks) means something is working.
The attacking fluidity (is that a word or I have just done a Stevo?) will come.

Temptation, greets you like your naughty mate,

But one that you could never bring yourself to hate.:icons15f0_files/4862-863FALH-msnicons.jpg |

Not sure I buy that arguement. Some centres amy struggle either left or right, as their passing may be weaker that way, but if someone on the wing can't catch very well from one side you do have to wonder how they got to the level they are at. |

The difference is though that most of our attacking comes down the left rather than the right. So its quite obvious that Donald is not going to be as effective on the right as he is on the left. |

Depends how you look at it. Donald can be just as effective when utilised, but the team may be less effective |

When i see the the Donald & Hull KR try I instantly think to myself would Ryan Halls try at the Grand Final being given if that had happened on Friday night?

It made me laugh on Friday the way Stevo was arguing that it should have been given, but could not come up with a reason why, other than that at normal speed it looked a try.
Well at normal speed it didn't even look like he grounded it to me. |

Maybe there was a large gust of wind at the exact time that websters other hand went near the ball |

It's as clear as day that Websters left hand hit the ball to the ground first
Please tell me about some of these decisions that all the top teams are getting? Wigan? Warrington? the penalty count against Leeds on friday? |
