Denan Kemp Dropped

[ronnyd]

Can't see him making back in the side anytime soon, the kid taking his place, Locke, is fantastic!

 

[lyn]

Hmmm how do you think Kemp would go in the centres?

 

[Sabu_2008]

He's missed out again, team to play Newcastle:

Wade McKinnon, Kevin Locke, Patrick Ah Van, Simon Mannering, Manu Vatuvei, Lance Hohaia, Stacey Jones, Sam Rapira, Ian Henderson, Steve Price (captain), Lewis Brown, Ben Matulino, Micheal Luck. Interchange - Aaron Heremaia, Russell Packer, Jesse Royal, Jacob Lillyman.

 

[jjoyce]

I think there is a few things happening behind the scenes that may have something to do with that

 

[sydney_bronco09]

hunt gone. kemp in. simple.

 

[The Brizz]

Warriors signings going well, no Moon or Kemp lol

 

[QUEENSLANDER]

Theres no way kemp will be playing while locke and vatuvei are fit. locke has been sensational. playing like a seasoned winger after only 3 games. hes the first genuine winger ive seen in ages, in that he attacks kicks, can handle bombs and backs his speed.

Agreed... he is playing outstanding football... as much as i like Kemp i cant see him cracking back in to the Warriors team... opens the door for the broncos though

 

[Ari Gold]

Locke actually played most of his junior footy at fullback, so it probably makes his wing performances all the more impressive.

 

[Sabu_2008]

That he did.

Was fantastic on friday night given the conditions at Mount Smart. Denan's been playing fullback for the Vulcans.

 

[mrslong]

I reckon he'd be a better full back than McKinnon, who I find the most overrated fullback in the comp. Overrated in that he isn't really any good....yeah he can run quick, but his decision making is terrible!

 

[QUEENSLANDER]

i think mckinnon is one of the best support players in the game, he is great at running of players like price and matulino

 

[Emma]

Completely agree QLD'er, I love watching Mackinnon play. To say he's no good is ridiculous.

 

[Sabu_2008]

He was looking at being dropped earlier this season, he was in shocking form.

Recently though, he's been fantastic, his defence has improved bucketloads. Still a fan fav at Mount Smart.

 

[lyn]

Exactly what I was going to say Sabu_2008.

 

[Nashy]

Exactly. When he's not yelling at the ref, you know he's going to have a shit day out on the park. He's been getting mighty pissed off, and has been in awesome form the past few weeks.

 

[Kimlo]

Yup agreed. Mrslong suffers from severe memory loss. McKinnon's form at the end of last year after his injury was incredible, and the year before that was even better. He is by far the best support player in the game, it's a shame the Warriors have sucked so much this year though - I have absolutely no doubt that McKinnon will be a NSW fullback in a few years time.

Captain Gidley goes where? Besides I reckon Stewart will be #1 for NSW either if he's back by game 3 or next year. McKinnon is a very good player though and the Broncos should look to get him if Hunt doesn't re-sign. I think he started with warriors in 07 and end of this year would make it 3 years which is usually what players sign for. Anyone know if he's off-contract?

 

[The Brizz]

Broncospwn, Stewart is crap compared to Gidley and will not unseat him from Gidley's best position which is fullback now or anytime soon. Stewart has a lot of pace and decent instincts but so do Gidley and Slater but they can also create for those around them (also Hunt minus the pace) great fullbacks don't just score tries they also create them; Lockyer, Belcher, Jack, Gidley, Slater, Hunt.
