Re: Boys is the Man
Wtf is it with McComish?
The guy clearly can play as he has shown in games since he was brought back when he was supporting,clearing tackling, linking and really looked the part.
Then this week he goes back to playing like his old passive self, wandering aimlessly round the pitch and deliberately arriving at rucks after the work is done.
He does realise this is his job right and he can't just turn up when he is in the mood?
He should be on a performance related pay contract but given his history I would drop him like a hot potato now.
Can't afford to depend on that sort of a players lack of professionalism.
Boys in and I have never seen him play bear in mind.

Jizzer sad to say that you clearly missed the fact that he was a slovenly waste of space against Treviso.bazzaj wrote:Wtf is it with McComish?

Don't blame yourself , many others considered him decent last week, trust me he was wasting oxygen but made the odd contribution such as passing to Gilly for his first try. I don't categorise you with them, but that is enough for a chube to consider him MOTM material.
On Friday some chubes were gushing about Roger and downplaying Fat Nick. Wrong, Roger was superb but both he and Fat Nick did the work of three men. Fat Nick did a job and remains the only likeable kiwi on the planet.

Re: Boys is the Man
I feel let down by him Bagster to be honest as with most of us on here we want to see our players do well first and foremost and are happy when they do.
Genuinely I was startled by Mikes performances and excited at the prospect of him being a short term solution to our openside which has been a major source of our woes.
I rewatched the Treviso game on the basis of the conflicting reports of how he went and saw that he had a quiet first half but a good second half which was the same for the team overall.
I can only call things as I see them without prejudice and I did play enough on the flank to spot a tactical work avoidance technician (T.W.A.T).
Unfortunately I witnessed an almost cowardly performance from him the other night back to his old self.
Very disappointed.

Re: Boys is the Man
If he's being played cos of Esportif then expect to see Boys v Scarlets. They can't afford for his worth to drop again

Re: Boys is the Man
Bazz.... McComish gets nowhere near the side as we rush to find emergency replacements around the globe then in he comes and puts in some more than decent displays.... unless mistaken between his top performance against Toulon and his rather less than stellar performance against Treviso he has signed for another club....bazzaj wrote:Wtf is it with McComish?

Re: Boys is the Man
So its been suggested Cockers.
I just struggle to understand how you can take to a rugby field and not give your all especially when its your job.
McComish has played 39 times for Ulster which is a shed lot more than some of our later day legends have to their names.
People would give their eye teeth to play for the shirt.
I was happier when I just thought he was crap but I am now livid for seeing that he can play a bit yet he seems to choose not to bother.

Who McComish?Once a Knight wrote:Highlight reel worked. He'll enjoy France.
If he has signed, it explains the return to below average form.

Big Jeremy was apparently looking for back row player who is happy to turn out a few times a season and spend the other eleven months swanning around like Billy Bigballs.Snipe Watson wrote:Who McComish?Once a Knight wrote:Highlight reel worked. He'll enjoy France.

MaCoooooooooooooomash is happy to double his salary and still not to have to bother much with rugby.

If that's what he's looking for, he has struck gold. McComish ticks all the boxes when it comes to under achievement.BaggyTrousers wrote:Big Jeremy was apparently looking for back row player who is happy to turn out a few times a season and spend the other eleven months swanning around like Billy Bigballs.Snipe Watson wrote:Who McComish?Once a Knight wrote:Highlight reel worked.
