Great stuff T0o.I,m a fan of McGuane for the precise reasons you have mentioned.No he,s not and never will be a polished footballer but he makes up for it in spades with his 110% efforts each week.Have said it before he,s our only "enforcer" who gives as much as he gets and goes back for more.He stands up for his teamates and the RFC.Tigers of Old said:Yeah we all know Luke has his deficiencies blah blah..
but today his efforts in the goal square deserve recognition.
Absolute selflessness and determination to save that goal and almost ended his career in the process.
Luke then bounced up and hit the next contest with equal vigor, almost ending Lollipop Head's career.
It was tremendous stuff and set a real example for his team mates to follow for the rest of the day.
If everyone of our players showed the passion & guts that Luke showed at those particular contests we'd be nigh unbeatable.
If he's upgraded eventually by a better player great but it's obvious he bleeds yellow and black so let's get behind him and leave the cheap shots at the door. Couldn't care less what his knockers say, I unashamedly love this kid's attitude.

tigertim said:just because Lukey almost lost his nadgems doesn't mean we should join the "luke has courage" bandwagon. Displaying a courageous act doesn't hide the fact he's a spud and doesn't cover up all of his mistakes over the years.

Displaying a courageous act doesn't hide the fact he's a spud and doesn't cover up all of his mistakes over the years. ( again I apologise, I know you didnt want this to be a Luke bashing thread but there has to some realism here. And if I am going to be really harsh here it was a bit silly of Luke to not protect himself a bit better.)
How many players have kicked a bag on this bloke
