No, it was the same issue at Parra even with a monster forward pack around him. He isn't an 80m player, needs to have his minutes managed.
Guess what dude, here’s a reality check for you ..
You are not an Nrl coach, you haven’t spent the last 10 to 12 years in the Nrl coaching ranks working your way up through the grades and guiding young players to win premierships …
At best you have a guesstimation opinion, you’re not in the inner circle, you don’t have any inside knowledge, and on a scale of 1 to 10, what you think you know is no better than the rest of us .. like all of us, you are just another opinionated lounge chair coach ..
So unless you are in and around the squad every day, training with them, seeing different attitudes, fitness levels etc, you have zero knowledge on what Mahoney is really capable of with a bit less work load in defensive, he could very well be a lot more productive both in attack and defence over 80 minutes, with more players helping out in defence ..
By all means … have an opinion … but stop dropping your comments as though they’re facts …
Stick to shoes and negativity … in those areas you shine ..
