| Don't get me wrong, I'm gutted he's leaving too. Games like tonight are Manu at his best, but he doesn't reach that standard on a consistent basis.

Kid yourself that he's "poop" in the games he's not ripping teams apart all you like. Of course he doesn't play to that standard every week, if he did he'd be in the NRL, but to label him inconsistant as if that means he's somehow rubbish in the games he's not destroying teams is just complete nonsense. Even his "poor" performances are at a good standard. He will be a big loss.

So his performance against Widnes was good, really?

| He will be a big loss regardless of signings for next season. I'm still slightly in disbelief that after all the crap he's been part of the past few years he wasn't tempted enough to be part of something potentially great with us money's money of course but such a shame

Well done you've picked out one game (the worst team performance for many years) to prove your 2 crap games 1 good theory.

He has decent games, poor games and a few absolute brilliant games. That's inconsistent.
Can you give me a period of time he's consistently been very good?

Wow. Even your own fans think you talk a load of rubbish.
Top one-eye this evening.

| Willie will be a big miss next year no question. Our second row tonight was as good as it was bad two weeks ago.

Pretty much all of the time he's been here. Your 2 crap games 1 good theory is utter cack as I said in the first place.

So you're saying he's been consistently 'very good' all the time he's been here? What utter cack.

While I hesitate to get involved in this argument, I'd have to disagree with that. His first couple of seasons with us he was pretty hit and miss. The last two or three he's been much more consistent. Hardly had a bad game this season for instance.
And of course when he's good, he's [ireally[/i good.

| When he's, lets say, "Not as good" as normal he is still normally in the top 3 players in a Hull shirt.

The inconsistant label was placed on him when he first came here (perhaps fairly) but that should have been long gone based on the last 3 or 4 seasons. Unfortunately some people form an opinion and refuse to revise it. The inconsistant tag was never really a problem for me anyway because the standard of his average game was plenty high anyway and his better games are very good. What I won't accept is the utter cack opinion that he has 2 rubbish games and 1 good.

Manu does perform consistently for Hull. What isn't consistent is the impact he makes in these games. As you're a bit of a one-eye, you fail to differentiate between the two. For the past 2/3 seasons he's been quality.
Think about it - each time big Willie takes to the field, there are factors that effect his performance that are out of his control. Performance is purely down to........'the performer'.
The first factor is the opposition. Some teams may target him in Hull's defensive line, tiring him out and taking away his attacking threat. Some may pick him out for special attention when he's attacking and wrap him up with two/three men as soon as he get's possession. Big Willie isn't privvy to the prep the other team has done on him.
The other factor, as against Widnes, is his own team. What can he do if, as a team, they're on the backfoot & giving the opposition good field position? What if the halfbacks can't get the ball out to him fast enough or don't give him the space he requires?
Sometimes players aren't 'poor' they just don't get a chance to perform - and this is (in the most part) credit to the opposition. Slater doesn't score hatricks every week after all.
The bitterness from you now he's leaving in laughable - he's a top player.
