McMeekan

No

[the machine]

This scapegoating of McMeeken is distasteful. People are leaping on a Toxic bandwagon.
I agree hes not playing to his potential, but hes outplayed our other second rower in the last two games.
The pack did its job last night and found great field position and also ensured our points conceded in the 80 was where you need it to be.
The major problem has been all season with our attack. Blunt, predictable and slow. We could do with a couple of Aussies with pace and size, any ideas anyone...

The main difference between oggy and mcmeeken,wether the end result is there or not, is oggy actually looks like he wants to be on the pitch, actually looks like hes desperate to break the tackle and go forward,

Its about effort

Oggy doesn't stand about with his hands on his hips either. Soon as we're on the back foot, McMeeken becomes Mr Invisible.

[SWISS TONY!!]

Where did I say that it was alright?

I was merely countering your vitriol with actual facts.

Had the ball steals come off, we’d of got excellent field position. Another time, they do come off

Got to say I thought he was unlucky with the steals. Still not sure how it was classed as a knock on as both times the ball came backward towards mcmeeken so should be classed as backwards. Especially the second one and if anything should have been classed as a loose carry and therefore a knock on by wire

But it wasn't and put us under pressure, aswell as him having a poor attitude. He gets in the team no matter how badly he plays. No wonder fans are getting peed off with him.

Be interested to know what you mean by poor attitude ?

But what's the difference between and watts being stripped of the ball? Griffen being stripped of the ball? They were unlucky and put us up against it. As did the Richardson no try, all put us under pressure and we struggled to cope resulting in us losing the possession. But because mcmeekin is flavour of the month then hes the devil. Hes probably guilty of trying too hard wanting to make the big play to prove his worth. The worse thing he did was miss the tackle along with foster that did cost us the game. Griffen gave away penalties and Milner normally does. Are these the next to be bagged?

Your talking about 1 game, I'm saying hes been bad in the last 5 games. The fact the club dont want to pay him what he wants is enough ontop of his poor attitude. Cas signed him when he was nothing built him up to a very good player in 2017. Very poor since then so good ridance.

I’ve never seen a player who is so obviously not bothered. Sure, we’ve had lazy players before, but at the moment McMeeken is taking the absolute proverbial.
Now the top four is gone, it’s time to stop playing those who are moving on next year and build for 2021. It’s now more advantageous to play Tyla Hepi, Sam Hall and Bailey Hodgson than Mike McMeekan, Junior Moors and Greg Eden/James Clare. This season is basically worth nothing to us now, so we should be taking advantage to build the experience of the players who will be here next season.

[westerbeast73]

Totally agree but Powell wont do it, hes too stuck in his ways.

[Mucky1978]

Can’t see him lasting long at Catalan he’s to lazy for there side.

[nottinghamtiger]

Yep. Looking at that team, I can’t see who he is going to displace.
Joel Tomkins maybe, given how long he is likely to be banned for.

[tigerfeat]

I think Mike will be a great success at Catalans

[LeagueLeaders]

Same. I think Catalans have a lot of pace and some big men in the middle and on his day Mcmeeken fits both categories. Fast for a big lad, good at getting the arm free and finding a pass. If he can draw players in and get the ball out to the likes of Folau it will be dangerous.

[old cas lass]

Depends on which head he as on when he goes into a game.
He can be unplayable or he can go into his shell.
I feel he got stale at cas and maybe fresh surroundings will do him good.
Time will tell.

[True-supporter]

God help cas if Hepi is the replacement for Mcmeekan. Not big enough not heavy enough. Ball handling scales non existence. Very mediocre. No good having great backs without strong forwards.

Reckon Blair will be his replacement, not fast enough for a centre but played well in the 2nd row.

Yesh think so. He needs a big pre-season for me, looked overweight since coming back from lockdown. But if I'm proper shape will do a good job there.

[laner]

Now the guessing game starts of who the club signs , the coach said he is looking forward to next season and challenging for trophies well let’s hope he might be right but if he does not add two big forwards and a centre he his in for a big shock as a lot of the fans but not him see the squad as it is not being good enough
