Donaldson did really well to tackle the big units aswell. He ran in so hard on Paleaasinas legs that it brought him down.

Yes and that is a tackiing technique that is sadly lacking in a lot of our more experienced players. I noticed quite a few times three of our players all tackling high and unable to complete the tackle before the offload.

Dont think it will be a problem retaining Donaldson.

Why's that? I'm sure other coaches can see his potential too.

Funny that.

The one time that Paleaasina did any serious damage was one noone took his legs. They bounce off his stomach....sorry chest a few times but didn't stop him. If you take his legs, he can't go anywhere. Why do players insist on going high? I know its to stop the offload, but if it don't stop the man, then whats the point?

Exactly, if you've got 2/3 tacklers then one should be on the legs.

Because he's Macca's big prospect isnt he. He'll stay at the club as long as Macca is here and apparently he only joined because of Macca.

I hope you're right. Tbf to Macca he does look like an extremely good prospect (he's only 17)

Yeah he does, and I dont doubt Macca has an excellent eye for talent, he can probably nuture it to become quality aswell. But that's probably Macca's best quality.

Probably not given Maccas reluctance to drop his 'star' signings. It's time's when they arn't cutting the mustard to give another person a chance though, something which Mac doesnt do very often.
