In a lot of ways he is like Jordan Tansey, Tansey was very off the cuff, great one minute and then next with the brain farts and stupid mistakes. Such a shame he blew it, I do think fans like to have that slightly more interested look from a full back instead of the ambling about part of his game. Still so long as he keeps this up and cuts out the errors he could even get a sniff for MoS?

Some people are already yelling 'Run Straight!' or 'Run hard you lazy beep' at the KC, as though they expect McKinnon to suddenly transform into an 18 stone prop and barge through the line

I did say last year when he signed if he stays fit he will be an excellent signing, big improvement on Phelps and our best all-around FB since Prescott.

So far he is proving me right, haven't seen the Saints game yet, but watched ever other game,but haven't seen him drop a bomb or miss a tackle yet, looks good going forward and in 4 games has made 16 tackle busts.

Talking about Brain farts, I can remember only one this season last week against Wakey, made a couple of other errors but so does every other player.

Let's hope he stays fit.

I don't think he offers more than Prescott. For a start, Prescott had genuine pace. He could, and would, go the length of the field if given a sniff.

But on the other hand he seems to have more skill, there's pros and cons to both. All I know is this is the happiest I've been with a FB of ours since Prescott! But it's early doors yet.

Definitely. I think he maybe offers as much as Prescott in different ways, but saying he offers more doesn't seem right.

Agree!

Very pleased with him, positioning is fantastic, good tactical brain and is safe too, as for the Wakey mistake i think i've pretty much seen most good full backs make that error at some time in their careers.

spot on mate,some did say to me on friday,best since kemble,thats a bit off the mark for me,also liked briscoe,if wade can stay fit he will be a great player for us,he will also score plenty of tries.

I think Wade would match Prekkie for pace to be honest. The try Prescott scored against Saints was more down to a step as Albert went to make the tackle, than blistering pace.

I CANT BELIEVE IM READING COMMENTS LIKE THESE ABOUT WADE MCKINNON

HES NOTHING SPECIAL AND THE DODGIEST FULLBACK IN THE LEAGUE I WOULD SAY. HES DODGIER THAN NIGEL CLARK, FROM THE BAND DODGY

HE MAY SCORE A FEW TRIES, BUT HIS ERRORS WILL COST YOU ALOT MORE

Wade is 'good enough' for me

Much better than Shannon 'Turnstile' McDonnel.
