Even if we ignore the fact that Mackie is good at doing a bit of bulldozing and winding down the clock in the final few minutes, and assume that he's only coming on so that we can get him a game cheque.......
.......that's still something we shouldn't be getting angry about KR doing!
We should want to get a reputation as being a club that looks after its players. Rather than a club that's going to be stiffing its players out of a few thousand whenever it can (as we did under Kassam's watchful eye). That could make a difference when the summer comes round, and we're on the recruiting trail again.
As long as it's not detrimental to the team i.e. as long as KR's not bringing Mackie on when we're chasing a game and there's better options on the bench, then I'm perfectly happy to see a two minute Mackie cameo in every game from now until the end of the season.
