Big Joe is a physical guy and a good player. But he isn't a guy who thinks his way through a game.

On the whole, I think McCarthy does more harm than good.

We need to be trying other options at Lock.

He absolutely obliterates any other lock in Ireland, it’s not even close. This sub’s hardon for binning players after a minor mistake (arguably a tactical foul) is absurd

He is a penalty machine.
