Not sure how Mac can be so critical of props that have or have not been that good for the club as he was a plodder of a player himself IMO

TBH Mac wasn't really that good a player really was he?
IMO he looked far better than he actually was as he was playing in a dominant Bulls side with plenty of better front rowers that made him look good when he was on
He was certainly the worst player of "The Awesome Foursome"

Others have already answered that question.

Falloon did indeed play for Souths against Leeds in that Florida game when Russell Crowe and his mate Greg 'Choker' Norman turned up. He was on the interchange bench.

Cuthbertson also played from the interchange bench for Manly at Elland Rd in the 2009 WCC. Here he is back row, second from the right where he appears to be emitting smoke.

Overall I'm pretty happy with Keith.

First thing is he is not JP so anybody trying to make comparisons will naturally be disappointed.

Remember these points though. He is ex SOO so don't expect SOO quality, he is ex for a reason. He has moved across the world to play a different brand of rugby. He is following a treble winning season in a team that is nothing like what it was last season due to retirements and injuries.

It looks like he is settling now and playing better. His defence is pretty good and has put in some great last minute tackles to preserve the line. Attacking wise he is no worldy but each run needs 2 or 3 men to put him down. Yes he has the odd penalty in him but so do many others (JJB, ablett, ferres).

Like the rest of the team you can see he is improving with each game.

I think this is a good analysis. He's more a replacement for Kylie than JP anyway but hes doing fine.

We obviously missed him today

Not for 1 second do I think we would have produced a win with him on the field
