I wonder if the fact he has appeared in 2 club / YEP media stories this week may be an indication that you won't get your wish and that he is on the "staying" list?

I,m sure you are right,I harbour the very faint hope that Furner can improve him beyond all recognition!

I don't think Mullally is as bad as some make out. He should be able to do more minutes on the field, and have a bit more impact for a man of his size, but I like his unorthodox style and ability to win penalties in the ruck. He's also not so bad at scoring the odd short-range try. If his attitude is good I've no problem with keeping him for another year. Let's see what Furner can do with him...

I have to agree. Certainly something was amiss last year especially after the potential of the year before. Good luck to him.

I have to agree with this also. I always thought he comes in for a bit of a bashing on here that i'm not sure he deserves. As far as i know he is quite young and Props always seem to bettter with age IMO

He's a bit Kirk-esque but occasionally picks a decent line to run and generally does ok. Attitude seems fine. He'd not be top of my list to get rid of though the fact he's been touted may be down to him being a player that other sides might actually want rather than a reflection of low ability.

I don't get the anti-Mullally stuff. He might not be a mega tackle buster but he makes as many metres per carry as any of the front rowers, doesn't miss many tackles & has a low error count. I think Furner will advance him further this next season. Send him to Cas if you don't want him.

I like Mullally. OK he's not world class but always seems to give of his best. I think that some of the WHINOS! just need a whipping boy and, since Kirke left, it's now Mullally.
