The How Good Was Matt Keating Blog and Would You Like Some Humble Pie With That

Posted by 1Eyed Eel on June 3, 2011 at 11:40pm

What you saw tonight was why the club has such confidence in MK. He's getting his confidence back now and he had an absolutely mighty game - huge number of tackles, good smart runs out of dummy half and great service all night.

:-P

Let this be a message to all, that MK is indeed a good player.

Apart from one shocking kick he played smart today. All the boys were switched on. A couple of moments of madness from Robbo were disappointing though. Jeez I hate the dragons more then any other club! Week in week out they get results on the back of the man in pink. We gave away one penalty all night and it was a dud call. I'd be filthy if I was Kearney.

I have been critical of him in the past but this game and the game before he was injured has impressed me.

Yes as I said in that stupid blog last week, MK is OK, just because he is not a Cameron Smith (and who else in the 9 jersey is?) doesn't mean he is bad. He has improved again and he deserves to be our starting 9.

If we are adding other names that make us proud, Ben Smith!!! he has picked up his form 100 times since that sad night against the Rabbits, he was very good tonight.

Ricky nice meeting you mate. Sorry about the language coming from the back row, none of us can help it lol I tried to get the boys to relax a bit when I seen phil had his kids there. With a performance like that I think we can upset manly in a fortnight. Go Parra!!

Havnt been critical but just said MC G can offer more, but WOW!! What a game, he is becoming a smart footballer, those sneaky runs from dummy half are vital! Great game MK! keep it up mate

Likewise Hish.
I get it at a game atmosphere - it's all good.
It's passion for the club, so that's encouraged.

Yep, I agree.
If we can play like that in 2 weeks time, we are a very big chance yes.

Mentioned it in another blog.., Mk looks great at times but lacks feel for the game. He needs to think more about:

1. His tackle 4 options.., ie who is going to kick and where from. No use running a short. Side play on tackle 4

2. His kicking. It's not just the execution but a lit of the time he has the wrong kick on his brain.

Overall though he is showing some very good signs.
