Personally I'm a McDonnell fanboy so he'd be the first SR in my team. He just lacks a little bit of size (hence I guess Wigan letting him go). But he has a great attitude and his skill level is fantastic at times. Skill is an underrated aspect: little offloads, kicks, a good pass, safe hands makes all the difference at elite level. I expect us to be more skilful next season compared to last.
Going to be really interesting to see how the young players perform through pre-season. The first 13 looks pretty obvious apart from one of the starting second row slots, but there are 2 bench spots up for grabs if not 3. RS is going to have the luxury of some selection headaches next season, until inevitably injuries hit...
Agree with all of that.
McDonnell works hard and has a good engine and has the skill set to be even better.
Also think our first 13 is top 4 standard. My worry is the back up we have might test that thought process.
