This guy is absolute class and exactly what we need to replace brough
I've being watching him play for the green machine all season at scrum half next to Terry campese @ stand off, JM is top quality stuff

So good a player infact that that it cant be true!! this is the sort of name that would get me to buy an early season ticket

These seem to suggest otherwise....

I'm V surprised by those comments! every time i've watched him i've being really impressed by him, dont get me wrong he's not terry campese but still an impressive player

He's a great in field kicker, good at taking the line on, v creative, basically every thing you'd want in a half back

I'd be suprised if we could make a signing like this so I guess it doesnt matter either way

That's probably the reason we are in for him. If he's unsettled lets have him.
I'm not too bothered if he wees people off in the short term as long as can kick the ball to Millard and pass the ball to quickly to the outside backs and direct traffic.

I think that we don't need a superstar half back, we just need someone to direct us round the field and with i good kicking game. So long as we get somebody who can do this then i don't care who it is.

Those posts were in April when the Raiders were going terrible. He was dropped a couple of times during that period. To be fair to him Campese also was poor at that time.
He has been playing very well over the last 6 weeks or so and has had a couple of very good games. Rumours around that Canberra were after another halfback (at that time) if that is true perhaps he is on the market. Good player.

Thanks for that - fingers crossed then!

I'd echo that; I watch all the live NRL games every weekend and in recent weeks, he's looked good. In a Wakey side, he'd look bloody brilliant.

If we do announce, I'll feel significantly better about our ambitions for next season.

He is a class player. been watching him over here in australia.... and i have to agree it may be too good to be true.

Anyone watching the Canberra v Brisbane game with McCrone playing!

He's just set up probably the game winning try

Apparently he's just signed a new two year deal so we can forget about him coming to us!

uk.wrs.yahoo.com/_ylt=A1f4cfc_7o ... %26rss=yes Can start looking elsewhere yet again!

Balls.

He's a ginner anyway so who cares!!

Gleeson to Salford means that we are under the ginner quota for next season, so McCrone would've been fine.

Back to the drawing board I suppose and for us fans, the familiar sense of disappointment that is a regular feature of supporting Wakey!

This is the latest one i have heard. Anyone else heard anything..?

He signed a new 2 year deal with Canberra in May.

Signed a deal in may doesn't mean he's staying. I do believe Tronc had nearly 2 years left and wanted out.

Didnt atkins still have two years when he left us?

Atkins didn't want to leave, he was sold.

I bet he regrets that decision.

He's still sobbing now!

Maby Josh McCrone is being sold and doesnt want to leave but has agreed to it?

If he is being sold he wont be coming to us because i cant see us being able to afford any sort of transfer fee.

Maybe he's not homesick just sick of home..?
