What would a Cockney know about rugby league?:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_73558.jpeg



As long as he puts a shift in then it's a decent if unfortunately short term solution.

Quote: GiantDee "Mutually is decent player, yes he has strong points and weaknesses, but it is unfair to say he can only play 20 minutes because that is how we have used him. He played longer minutes at Bradford, but with Eorl, Huby and Koppy all playing 45-50 minutes there ain't many minutes left.

I think the Wakey pack will seem much bigger with him in it. I have not seen too much of Wakey this year, but they have looked very light up front. I think he will do a good job in those middle 8s'"


Mullers may have been used by the Bulls for more minutes. However given the shortage of props at a weak Bradford last year that says very little.

Ideally Crabtree should be doing fewer minutes but had too due to Mullers inadequacy. After 7/8 minutes Mullers is breathing through his a***. Within 12 minutes he is shot. He is rarely 1st man into a tackle, often a late 3rd. His defence makes the team vulnerable and his work rate is low.

That said Anderson would have kept him at the right price, McDermott signed him and Smith wouldn't have players fobbed on him. So there is something there.

With input from Keagan Smith, a fresh start and games against championship clubs he may cause a few surprises.

Given the other props do 45-50 mins a game and have very few injuries it may be down to the mullers engine. If not our unfit crew will just have to muddle on !

At that level is 'the engine' still applicable? He's a full time professional rugby player who should have a very high standard of fitness to play longer minutes may be its more down to ability...

When he is a big 20 yr old running through 20 year olds he would be impressive. But week in week out tackling / being tackled by Peacock Walmsley Hill Lima etc seems beyond him. But far better judges than me think otherwise. For me Smith is far superior to Mullers

Of course Smith is superior to Mullers, Smith has been at Wakey, a bit like one or two of your other players!

McDermott has seen something in Mullally to sign him for next season so hopefully BS will get the best out of him and Mullally can prove a point or two in his spell at Trinity...

As said, if McDermott and Smith think he's got something I'm prepared to give him a go rather than believe a passing Giants fan
And it should be noted only one passing Giants fan says he's unfit and shot. The others seem to think he's ok, so let's see.
I guess we'll find out when he plays against Huddersfield in two weeks. We seem to be doing well with old boys playing against their old club recently.

I don't think Leeds consider D Griffin to be much of a signing. in recent years I think you are right.

Be good to see the front row options being Mullally, Walker and Kirke giving Scruton,Anderson and Simon a rest for the middle 8 possibly...

I think we had better access how long Mullally can play because Walker is several weeks away from being match fit.
