McCrone actually played well.

He played well. Discuss.

I disagree

Rodman?

Post by **-GD-** » July 13, 2014, 4:30 pm

He was typical McCrone. Did some good things, did some dumb things.

Botman · Post by **Botman** » July 13, 2014, 4:31 pm

As per usual, his game was riddled with McCronyisms.
But yes, one of his better games of the year... which given his level of performance today, is a huge problem

Toviii · Post by **Toviii** » July 13, 2014, 4:32 pm

He was better. Like GD said still did some dumb things.

Roger Kenworthy · Post by **Roger Kenworthy** » July 13, 2014, 4:33 pm

A lot of bad. He actually balanced it out with a few good things for the first time in quite a while.

The balance was still firmly in the negative column though.

Yes. However, he was outplayed by Campo which says it all really...

Thank god Takairangi did a Tupou.

Disagree, but I might have been blinded by vision of him being caught with the **** ball on the last tackle for 400 **** time.

Seriously, Josh, it's beyond taking the piss now - please stop wasting opportunities when inside the 20 on the last - you're killing me.

I disagree, the only good thing he did was backup to score

True, but by my count that is only twice since McCrone returned to the halves that Campo has played better than McCrone, which tells a much more depressing story.

I've not joined the McCrone bashing this season, but I completely disagree with you. I thought with the forwards rolling early it should have been an easy payday for our halves. Somehow, they still managed to look slow and clumsy.

I'll change the thread title to "McCrone actually played ok

"

Leeroy Jenkins · Post by **Leeroy Jenkins** » July 13, 2014, 5:04 pm

I'm not sure what game you were watching?

1.) extremely poor kicking game
2.) extremely poor running game
3.) typical McCrone passing game

There were a few good moments, but that doesn't count as a good game.mi said it in the game thread, but McCrone is one of the best at killing the momentum in this team.

"McCrone wasn't completely awful" perhaps?

Nope! Typical rocks and diamonds

Manbush · Post by **Manbush** » July 13, 2014, 5:07 pm

He played well by his standards is more appropriate

Leeroy Jenkins · Post by **Leeroy Jenkins** » July 13, 2014, 5:10 pm

I forgot to add, we only had what, like 21 missed tackles today. Number 1 offender? McCrone...

Post by **greeneyed** » July 13, 2014, 5:13 pm

Not really.

Post by **dubby** » July 13, 2014, 5:18 pm

I thought he was ordinary.

roneel78 · Post by **roneel78** » July 13, 2014, 5:24 pm

He was horrible when the game was in the balance and good when we had the titans beaten with 15 or so to go.

Michael · Post by **Michael** » July 13, 2014, 5:25 pm

He stank. Like always. Brief flashes of competence are not worth getting excited over.

nemesis · Post by **nemesis** » July 13, 2014, 5:30 pm

he had another terrible game. needs to be dropped on that intercept pass and piss poor excuse for a tackle attempt on taylor. he pretty much ran past taylor so he didn't have to tackle him. discracefull

Fair Cop · Post by **Fair Cop** » July 13, 2014, 5:34 pm

He wasn't mind numbingly atrocious but i wouldn't go as far as saying he was ok.

Raider Bell · Post by **Raider Bell** » July 13, 2014, 5:36 pm

I think he rocked that goatee out of the park.

no he didn't. why is it that whenever we jag a win some people think mccrone had anything to do with it? he din't lose us the game which is an improvement but he was still far from any good. buttriss showed again he's got more playmaking in him than mcjoke

To be fair it should have been a reset of the tackle count.... However he should have also played to the whistle and looked at the refs which I'm assuming didn't signal six again, HOWEVER I have seen wide shots in other games where one ref will call one thing, one will say something else so it's difficult sometimes... Also in the current rules it's not so bad to be caught on the sixth near their line, better then giving them 7 tackles from the 20.

However, no his game was bleh.... Did some utterly **** things, did some good things, at best it evens out to an OK game but you need more than OK games from your #7....

Saying McCrone played well today is like saying to a cruise liner captain who arrives safely at port in perfect conditions "congrats and well done. You didnt sink the ship. Bravo"

Raidersrawesome · Post by **Raidersrawesome** » July 13, 2014, 5:59 pm

He kills us in so many ways. Dying with the ball , intercepts , a missed tackled and failed to chase on Taylor. Poor options and poor passes.

Positives , he plays with energy and um , yeah

Yap · Post by **Yap** » July 13, 2014, 6:09 pm

Given the game was in the balance, if the Titans had taken that intercept and scored the game may have swung a different way

typical mccrone game

This. It would have killed momentum. Also his miss/non-attempt on Taylor (although at least that showed us campos chase).

Not a chance I'd say, although white did get dropped so anything could happen.
