Nene Macdonald

Mm.

They, they get Palasia, McDonald, and Sivo back.

They should all be back this week.

Okay.

We- we- we'll see.

We'll see.

You know, there's a lot of question marks about, like, Nene McDonald and, 'cause he can play center wing if he stays.

Um-

Nope.

Wayne McDonald.

Nope.

I think you've got two more props.

That's the two things I know about this guy.

I saw James

McDonald commented underneath the official post and he said something to Gerrard about him getting

whacked.

And, you know, it was great to hear fans singing, you know, the young lads' names and that, because...

Next season, are they going to get on the side? We might have to use them because if you get rid of the experienced players that haven't been good enough for ourselves, you know, McDonald is one of them, isn't he? You know, he's injured again.

I think he's played about three games.

You know, he's been injured so much and when he's played, he hasn't been great.

He'd probably be a bit embarrassed about that, to be fair to him.

No Nene McDonald as well, as well as the other players that they've got out currently.

You look at that middle unit, you're looking at it from the point of view of they're going to have to play the kids in in prop forward positions.

They're probably going to have to start with a David Clemmer, Jacob Host type of prop position.

Cam Smith then turned nothing into something as we heard there with that try.

And then a failed interception attempt from Nene McDonald led to quick hands on the lead's left.

And Harry Newman was in for an 18-0 halftime lead.

The second half was more of the same as Ryan Hall touched down on the right-hand side before Jack Welsby had the home side's best moment of the game with a solo break and score.

A lot of rumors that it could be a Welsby and a Robertson halfback combination for this one, with Sailor retaining his position at the back.

And of course, the likes of Percer in the squad, uh, the likes of Nene McDonald in the squad, so they can cover those central positions.

That in itself is gonna be interesting.

So it's gonna be...

That was a, a good move as well.

And, uh, and then from a lovely Harry Robbo kick, uh, Nene McDonald goes over.

But i- it's, it's great to think, you know, Hastings, you know, five conversions as well.

So, uh, I was reading after the game and it was how much of a liability he is, and he's been no good this season, and he's crap as a captain.

I never expected that in a million years.

Well, it, it was, it was an odd game and we had our new signing there, Nene McDonald [laughs] who's, uh-

Was he? [laughs]

To be fair, he had some good carries I thought, and played, he played okay.

And none of them any good.

[laughs]

[laughs] If you go, if you go back to last year and you turn around and say, "We're gonna sign Nene McDonald" you'd be like, "Fantastic."

He was playing well in the PNG.

I don't think it's pressure.

I think they've had a few injuries, haven't they? Um, Sivo's gone out the team, McDonald didn't play, um, and it just didn't really click for them in the second half, even though they had loads of ball.

So I wouldn't say it's pressure, but, um, it's all down to that game.

Um, and obviously they lost last time they, when they played Wigan, but I would, I would hope it'll be a similar game to this one.

Within like three minutes, I think we were, um, there was a ball from, uh, I think it was Welsby over to Jacob Douglas, and he just couldn't, uh, do the kick properly.

It sort of come off his knee.

So, you know, it was a bit of a pity, and I thought, "Oh, this is gonna be the start of summat really bad." Um, I, I just thought N- Nene McDonald, you know, people were saying, "Oh, it's great to have him back." And I thought he was woeful within the, you know, the first half.

The penalties he was giving away.
