Josh McCrone - possible long-term six

Posted by 1Eyed Eel on June 25, 2011 at 8:53pm

I've always liked Josh McCrone but he has gone through that period all young halves go through, where they don't always take the right option. However, he's clearly come through that and given that Canberras' long term halves combination will be Campese and Williams, he probably doesn't have a home at Canberra beyond next year when his contract ends.

I think he'd perfectly complement Sandow/Hayne because he's got a great running game, and kicks well. He wouldn't command a huge salary and I think he'd be a great target as a long-term number six option.

No i'm too angry at the raiders right now for this crap...

McCrone is a useless c*** who had a half decent game tonight! The Raiders certainly benefited from an ample supply of luck tonight and as usual, we got none.

Seriously, it would be nice to see rubbish teams like Canberra and the Sharks fizzle out and die. No-one gives a flying fuck about them and their mere presence is an insult. Thank God I wasn't silly enough to go to that man-made S-bend of a town Canberra, or even the pub, to watch that nonsense like some people did! I can fume and be anti-social at home after watching an internet stream :-(

Season over now. There is no coming back in 2011. Back to old shitty habits and no direction. Let's start planning for 2012. Piss off Robson NOW. Humble in. Maitua in. This is professional sport and we are amateurs. Don't get me wrong, plenty of talent and potential but still don't know how to win. Peace, out for 2011. See you all next year
