I guess it depends on what's happening in the game, if nothing much he could come into the back row. But he can also cover full back, stand off and centre in case of injuries, and if we had a winger injured Richie could move in there putting RM to full back.



I guess we'll have to wait and see. Hopefully though his lack of having a position he is first choice for will inspire him to perform more when he gets a shot on the field though

=#8000FFThat just shows how bad he really is, a full back should be able to tackle, catch and organise the line in front of him - McGoldrick does none of these.

Of course he can tackle, maybe not as well as some but he saved a few tries with his tackling, whats more he he has got alot better under the highball than he was, far better than plat ever was for instance, he dropped a few high balls but so did, wellens, webb, greenshields, hodgeson etc.



There are two styles of fullbacks those who are solid reliable players good under the highball, and those who are good at chiming into the line and acting like an extra halfback. Mcgoldrick falls into the latter catagory, he had a mare when played at hb last season but at the start of the season he did a very good job for us at fb, which seems to have become forgotten as its become 'fashionable' to bash mcgoldrick.

Play Owen at FB. He is better defensively, makes more yards on kick returns, has lots of pace and the potential to mature into an outstanding player. Moreover, Richie sees this as his position and he wants to play there. If we seriously want to keep him at the club in the future, I think we need to be playing him at FB and showing him that is where we see him fitting into the team for the future.



McGoldrick should be given a chance at centre, as so many have said, that's where he made his name. Personally, for his defensive work alone I would be keen to keep Evans in the first team, but let the two of them compete for the spot (as the other centre is most definately taken!).

I think the point will be moot at the start of the season anyway, with dixon out we will need owen on one of the wings.

I wonder if someone like Jordan Thompson will get a run out if Dixon is injured?

Does anyone know when Dixon is due back??



I feel he will be a big miss for the team, as he was one of our best performers last year.

That would be unfortunate because I feel he's wasted there. He comes into his own at the back and he is the best fullback that we have.





Why not? It's about time he was given a shot.

I'm guessing Owen and wainwright will be wingers at the start of the season, leaving Mcgoldrick at full back.

I THINK ITS ABOUT TIME THEY GOT RID OF HIM.THINKS HE IS ACTUALLY BETTER THAN HE IS.DOES NOT PUT HIMSELF ABOUT ENOUGH.SHUD HAVE LET WEST TIGERS HAVE HIM WHEN THEY DID.

please do tell,what school do you attend ?

I don't think that he's made it there yet Speedy!
