I know, its like hes expecting us to only sign SOO quality players and anything less isnt good enough

Anything to have a go at the club.

It's not that long ago we used to be among the top table sides but not at the moment Catalans, Saints, Warrington, Wigan all have 3 or 4 game changer player's we don't have one and yes I don't think the club have been very smart with recruitment hopefully that will change soon.

All 4 of those clubs would want MacDonald in their team at centre or winger.

Going off this weeks teams, he’s better than Thornley, King or Miski at Wigan, Hurrell and Bennison at saints, Russell or minikin at Wire and either centre at Catalan

Yes out recruitment hasn’t worked out great recently but it seems to be getting better

You don’t think Newman, Macdonald or Austin are game changers? (Granted Austin is inconsistent).

Wigans game changers have just lost to the wakey team that we got crucified for losing to. Warrington are completely off the boil without Williams.

Once were Loiners wrote:

Iro wasn't 'crocked' at Leeds. He played 124 games in about 4 seasons for us and played 3 seasons for Sts three years after leaving Leeds. On his day he was awesome. On others he was very average.

This is 100% correct; Iro didn't have major injury issues at Leeds, he was just really hard to get worked up into the right mood.

It's almost as if the other poster doesn't know what he's talking about.

macdonald is about as good a centre as you will get nowadays.
the days of signing a lyon or Gidley are long gone
