i've voted for kearney. a new guy in the halfs with rumours of pace.

All of them!
For different reasons

Hall (see comments above)
L'Estrange - I think he'll surprise a few, another potential Hendo IMO
Kearney - a pacey, play making half......say no more
Reardon - Again (if he stays injury freee) I think he'll surprise a few and give some good options in the 3/4.
Sculthorpe - I just hope he proves the doubters wrong. He has the potential to be a useful addition to the side, it's whether we see enough of the good bits.

I've gone for Hall as last WCC rumours were we were looking at him so I watched him most of the game and was very impressed.

The thing that's worrying me about Kearney is the amount of people saying he's a full back not a stand off.

I've said before I wouldn't be surprised to see him occupy a Harris at Leeds type role....!

Forgot about him. One game versus Fulham wasn't it??

NONE in particuluary. none of thems are worthy of wearing a bulls shirt and are all mediocre

Don't punish yourself so...!

i wuont

What year was it?

I'm struggling to remember!

is this any relation to a cassowary?

1990?? 91???

ANyway I'm looking forward to seeing the two Manly boys the most as I expect them to have the biggest impact of the players coming over. Hall in particular is a going to be a very important part of the jigsaw.

Heath L'Estrange looks good to me. Awesome name too

Thats who I voted for. He will be our man of mystery and bring a bit of je ne se quoi to the side, a bit of panache and flair.

I've had a complete black out on that one then!

please keep to th topic in question. if you need any advice on birds send me a message and ill be happy to help you.

this isnt the place though

Where's the Matai option?

Not sure it was Fulham as it would have been about '92 but I think the club were hoping he might be our Emosi Koloto

Well if we'd have signed Lockyer to play dtand off when he was at FB I wouldn't be moaning. Kearney has played SO for many years as a junior aswell, I think he'll do well and I have no worries.

the thing is...

as a junior player Brett never reached anywhere near the standard that Ben Jeffries reached, and it was only as a full back that he was able to find a first grade spot..

He will play his heart out at 5/8 but you had a better player in that position with Jeffries!

Kearney is a better full back than you have on your books... and will be a star if he is played in his proper position.

and... to answer aprevious poster... he is NOT a playmaker... he is a support player and very fast!

Jeffries never realised the potential he showed as a kid. On his day he was good but those days were few and far between.

. . . . and, IMHO, when the going got tough . . . . Jeffries usually went missing. Constantly. And then usually went on to state in the press that [i"some people ought to look long and hard at themselves in the mirror'[/i. The man must have been a chuffin' vampire . . . . with a picture of Sam on the wall behind him

Exactly.

The Wakey fans told us this when we signed him. They were right.

Those are words you don't often see together!

I know, I just realised what I said

That's the mother of all Oxymorons...forgive me I know not what I do
