Makes it sound like they are turning him into a light bulb!!!

HOPE HE DOES GET BACK TO HIS BEST SOON.

He has so much to offer but it has obviously taken longer than we initially hoped for him to fit in.

I hope he comes good for us but got to ask why sign a player who had to have operations and also the visa affair???

Do we just go for names and not check if they are still as good as they appear on paper?

We have Makali not fit and Ben Black admitting he was not fit enough yet whats going on???

I would have thought that Ben's poor condition would have been picked up in the pre season assesments or was he unable to partake in any of them because of his foot injury

I usually do (have a look), just didn't have the time; I'll consider myself slapped on the wrists.



I'm not in the "he's crap" camp; new players take different amounts of time and effort to settle; granted some of his body language hasn't gone down to well, and can be interpretted as a lack of effort;



Fans are fickle and I dont think it will be long before the doubters are singing his praises...

Ill give him a couple of games to impress. If he doesnt then i reckon hes totally past it and the acquisition I would deem regrettable



Come on Makali start kicking some a55

Needs to get his fire back, once he does hell be fine, although im worried that maybe the injuries and surgery are playing a part too, hes looked sluggish and gassed pretty early in his game time. fingers crossed for him and everyone he can turn it round, the old Makali would be a massive asset.

A fit and on form Makali is what we need if we are to take a s/l scalp in the CC and get to another GF



We will need all the big names playing on top form.



I am quietly confident he will come good.

Not sure how many times he trains but going from full time training to part time may not be enough for him perhaps, just a thought.
