And he'll still be one of the top halves in SL. Good signing imo, more optimistic about 2010 now.

I know, but it's the perception of Super League down under, still. And Bradford aren't doing much to help the cause.

We've signed a 24 year old hooker, and a 28 year old back rower -who Manly wanted to keep btw- and also a 26 year old. It's not like we're being a retirement home tbh, and i'm pleased with all of our signings apart from Sculthorpe. I for one am looking forward to 2010.

The Bulls are letting yoong talent down!!

Poor signings yet again imo.

playing for hessle rugby union so i got told

Halley, Whitehead, Donaldson, Burgess x 2, Crookes, Crossley, Kopczak, Langley, Olbison and Tate are all coming, or have come through the Bulls system - a system which has produced plenty of young British products in the past.

Do your research before spouting rubbish.

My research shows that you have signed 4 average Australians for next season, which is the downfall of super league.

Expect more signings to happen, Crusaders need to sign more imo.

Loan signings?

Orford isn't average.

Hall is above average.

Kearney and L'Estrange both have something to prove.

ee

I dont rate any of them TBH.

You're an idiot though, TBH.

You don't rate Matt Orford ?

Have you seen Kearney, Hall or L'Estrange play ?

Orford is quality and to be fair from what I've seen the other three are good signings.

It doesn't, but that confirms Matt Utai. Tommy Lee has been confirmed now though. According to the Crusaders Board

I dont rate a 32 rear old Aussie signed on a 3 year contract.

L'Estarange is average, very average. Another Michael Sullivan who was at Warrington. How many games as Kearney played ? i think even the NRL fanatics have struggled see Kearney play for over 3 years.

Why is it worrying?

In an active career of about 12-16 year, if your going to travel to teh other side of the world to live / settle you would only want to do that once.

Other than playing for his country he has nothing left to achieve in Australia. Coming to a different culture and lliving experiance is the obvious thing to do at this stage of his career.

Of course, I doubt many slated Adrian Morley for grabbing onto the SL final pay day train as you put it

So the length of the contract changes how much you rate someone?


Did you see L'Estrange in the WCC ? I'd say above average.


Kearney has been very unlucky with injuries but if you ask anyone who's watched him when fit he is a quality player.

Someone who doesn't just put their club blinkers on!

Orford will be one of - if not the- best SH in the league, regardless of age. L'Estrange is a good, fast, young hooker, and Hall is a solid, no nonsense hard hitting forward.


Kearney has some doubters to prove wrong and after his injury record i reckon he'll want to set things straight.
