Past #23: Ben McKay - gone to * as RFA - NMFC awarded Band 1 pick #3 compo

[KangaRooster]

This bloke is an absolute pillar of our emerging side, he’d be top 5 for most important players for the next decade IMO

Hope he comes in next year and totally brains it

 

[DuckYeah]

In terms of the distribution of player responsibility at the club right now, I reckon this dude is shouldering more than any other, almost certainly more than his contract justifies. What’s he on- less than 2/3s of Polec’s, probably?
We could have two injuries in the fwd or mid line, and I still wouldn’t lose the faith, but if Ben goes down with a knee injury or something, as Leadbelly would sing: it’s goodnight Irene, goodnight Irene.

He’ll be on a fair penny. 5-600k

Lizard

Lizard did mention somewhere that he wanted to increase his fitness and leg speed.

 

[Only Forwards]

I really like the idea that Buckets is pushing to get better.

I absolutely love that Liard is there.

The McKay brothers are freaks of nature. Ben, not Harry, should have shaved his head - looks 2x meaner. He still can outdo Harry by going full shave . It would be like having Mighty Mick all over again.

 

[ferball]

There are people on here who think Ben is just another slow backman.

Open your eyes people!!

Assume the whole club shaved their heads in support for sam docherty's cancer battle.

Ah fair enough. Thanks for the clarification!

 

[Kangaroos techno]

Look forward to when McKay is more confident and starts to add more contested marking to his game. KISS approach early and now he'll add another level

 

[AnEmptyChair]

As good a stopper as he has turned into, I hope we start seeing a bit more intercepting from Ben starting from next year. I reckon he's capable and it's the next part of his game that needs to develop so that he reaches the top echelon of KPDs.

 

[TennisPlayerAndy]

I reckon we saw a decent level of marking from Ben this year.

Without Corr or Taz, he wasn’t free to fully roam the field being a human wall.

[Intothewind]

That was really funny. I pity their parents in the front of the car with those two in the back on a long drive!

 

[Kangaroo Cat]

Ben is definitely better off being the big dog in his team, without his brother around.

Reckon his pace and endurance was an issue.
Seems to have rectified it now.

Harry looks like he's had another growth spurt.. He looks taller and bigger.....Come on Buckets lift your act...

If he isn't four inches taller by next march I will be pretty annoyed tbh

 

[WalshistheGOAT]

Honestly im not a fan of North in general but seriously I cant wait for these two goofs to line up on each other. Reminds me of me and my brother in the family backyard cricket around Christmas, just a very authentic brotherly rivalry that the games missing! Reckon its going to be an all time classic and hopefully a good biff or two in the contest with a few pot shots at each other in the post matches. Was really disappointed when Harry pulled out this year after hearing their folks talk on SEN about the two growing up, seem an awesome bunch

One question to you fellas - Is Ben really the listed 201cm height or has Harry just grown an absolute boatload this last year?? Says its meant to be 204v201 but Harry looks half a head taller?

Its all perspective, Harry is closer to the camera and Ben isn't standing on a box.
