there wasn`t a lot on when he got the ball on friday -and lethal from 15 -20 yds out !
........and yes he may step out of the line to stop an opposition move and miss them at times - but its as he sees it in that split second in play - not sat up in the stand !
He~ll do for me thanks and before charnley Lineham and Briscoe for starters! There have been star international wingers in the past with strong hand offs and pace to burn -but couldnt tackle /didnt want to - a paper bag!
He might make mistakes but anyone who gets involved as much as he does will - and theyre then noticed But you get 110% every game if nowt else!
Considering how long hes been playing the game just think what he could have been like
Then again with SOME posters on here he couldnt escape SOME criticism could he ? Wouldnt be fair to leave him out
Well I haven't at any time criticised McGillvrey, in fact the opposite if anything, I do recognise his weakness is his defence, but that's not a criticism it's just recognising a fact, Most players have weaker parts to their game, few have the complete game.
Nowhere have I suggested we shouldn't keep him, but as yet I have seen nothing that says we are about to lose him. I was pointing out that we have positions that need far more urgent attention.
Fair enough I introduced this on a thread about McGillvrey which is the wrong thread, and in fact nobody cares anyway about a halfback, nobody is bothered that we have scored probably 300 points less than the leading team and a lot lot less than some of the others, It's just easier to keep trotting out the same old, We are doing ok , Their are no Halves to be had, why would they want to come to the Giants, we are in the playoffs what more do you want.
So sign him up for the next five years , make him long term and then we are safe.
