he had a decent game, couple of loose carries but when weather warms up he will be better in this area. some excellent takes of the football today. like others i thought the second of his breaks was legit - looked like the ball had been patted back and down and he picked up on the burst, was unlucky. if anything cost us a win it was the two soft tries in the first half - it wouldn't be fc without at least making one complete hash of a kick off. cut down on silly unforced errors and we will be a good side this year

He was definatley injured. Went off early in the warm up and the physio was on the pitch to him every opportunity he could get.

thought he played well everyone will make errors during a game some people look for someone to be a scapegoat , even on the radio on way home some muppet still saying sharp he,s a liability its cringeworthy some clowns that ring in . all the team deserve a rap great perfomance and will get better if we play like that i will be happy for the season

Thought he did ok seemed to be carrying an injury of some sort both times he dropped the ball it was knocked out by a wire player. Hope he keeps improving and forms a good partnership with out halves.

Thought Wade was OK today, not a stand out but far from liability.

Same here. I thought he was pretty solid today. Looking a good signing for us.

Passed a fitness test beforehand i heard?

Said within ten minutes of kick off he was not the same player we'd seen in the friendlies. Obviously injured. Did not much wrong, but didn't make things happen like he has been.

Hope it's a short term knock. Imagine it is or he wouldn't have been allowed to play at all.

Mckinnon looks dangerous going forward, but seemed to just amble about after a few of their kicks today.

A shocking pass to lynch on our line gave Wire thier first try, but I would question why he is at the ptb. He also coughed up possesion twice.

I won't judge him on one performance, but I hope he was far from his best today.

Agreed. A couple of sloppy moments rather than rustiness IMO. Produced 2 or 3 excellent takes under towering kicks that swirled about plenty as well.

I too thought he did well. Was a little surprised to see this thread, tbh. I reckon he's gonna be quite a signing when it warms up a bit.

The first caller? If so, I heard that. Thought Murdock was spot on; 'Everyone's entitled to an opinion, but I disagree on all points'. He called in to spout absolute twaddle and just made himself look silly by showing that he didn't have the first clue what he was on about.

Thought it was Tickle?

He reminds me of Blacklock !

Dear me , McKinnon looked a class act! He'll be an exciting , good to watch , player who will no doubt make the odd mistake but when Danny Houghton and our half backs start to match his timing he'll score plenty of tries. He never went backwards either when returning kicks , he's a lightweight guy so he's not going to bust the line but he has the skill to get to ground quickly , not get pushed backwards and control the restart. He's got the makings of a real crowd pleaser (but maybe not the crowd on here?). His big issue will be staying fit but if he does then I'm looking forward to watching him especially in his conditions.
