All well and good but Jerry is a class act and even in 12 months will take some replacing as a winger of his quality will be hard to find !!

Wingers are a damn sight more plentiful than halves, But they are out there if whoever's job it is will put some effort into finding one.

He's our top try scorer, ball carrier, metre maker, tackle buster, clean break maker and has the highest average gain and in many of those it isn't even close. There aren't many wingers out there as good as Jerry and if he actually realises that the rest of Superleague is in trouble. Plus he's club trained. His value to this club is enormous.

So, which winger could we realistically get to replace Jerry if we had to ?

If he could stop conceding tries by improving his positioning he'd be in the England squad for sure.

If he played for one of the 'big 4' yes...

Thing is... He finishes great and returns a ball like a forward but doesn't have that 'x factor' that Briscoe, Charnley, Burgess and Hall have. X factor being them special moments in open field creating as well as scoring try's out of nothing.

Wingers like Makinson, Lineham and Penny will probably be looked at before Mcgillvary too.

Sad because we know he'd put in a great effort and do a job for England but will probably never be picked.

there wasn`t a lot on when he got the ball on friday -and lethal from 15 -20 yds out !

........and yes he may step out of the line to stop an opposition move and miss them at times - but its as he sees it in that split second in play - not sat up in the stand !

He~ll do for me thanks and before charnley Lineham and Briscoe for starters! There have been star international wingers in the past with strong hand offs and pace to burn -but couldnt tackle /didnt want to - a paper bag!
He might make mistakes but anyone who gets involved as much as he does will - and theyre then noticed But you get 110% every game if nowt else!

Considering how long hes been playing the game just think what he could have been like

Then again with SOME posters on here he couldnt escape SOME criticism could he ? Wouldnt be fair to leave him out

Don't agree with any of this. In attack Mcgillvary has every bit as much x factor as all the above. Hall is the complete winger and is good in defence and a outstanding finisher but is not really noted for length of the field tries. Burgess, Charnley and Briscoe are all quality wingers and different sorts of player to Mcgillvary but would not say the are better attackers.
In defence though the above players are better.
And to suggest Penny would get an England call up before Mcgillvary is laughable.

I think there is something of the "x factor" with Jerry - when he gets the ball there's always that bit of a lift in the crowd which suggests they think something could happen. as for defence he has got caught out on occasions - all of the others named have also been caught out - but I also think he's often left in a no win situation by Cudjoe who has a worse habit of jumping out - I know, another argument there - and leaving him exposed. All the other wingers highlighted have qualities, but so does Jerry and I think he's as dangerous as any. By the way, I also realise he benefits from Cudjoe feeding him to finish off tries as well.

Just my opinion on I think McBanana would pick for England over Mcgillvary. As said I'd love to see him in an England shirt and wouldn't replace him in a Giants shirt with any of the above name simply because of his heart he shows every time he takes the field.
But he's often out of the spot light.. Underrated.. He doesn't do the X factor things that get people talking. It's always about the play that got him the try not what he did individually.
Yet let's say Burgess got an identical try it'll be about how good he his.
The England coach won't take a chance on him and play it safe with the big teams star wingers.
It's very unlucky but it'll happen that way.
I'd think it would be different if he'd play or Leeds or Wigan.

ah now dont go talking sense about mcgillvary having a quality centre inside off him

I think that's very harsh, to be honest.

In previous seasons he did have a problem with his decision making, but this season he has been pretty spot on (bar a couple of occasions).

One could also argue that his decisions to come in unnecessarily may be down to a lack of confidence in his centre.

Lack of confidence in leroys tackling??? Really? But then yes seeing as many on here claim leroy can't tackle
Catalans first try was a direct result of Jerry getting the defensive read completely wrong. It's the next area of his game that needs work.
