Keinhorst, no contest.

Excactly why he would pair well with one of our halves

Most NRL sides have not stopped splitting halfbacks. Cronk and Green at the Storm, Thurston and Morgan at the Cowboys, Hunt and Milford at the Broncos, and Maloney/Townend at the Sharks to name but a few who play most of the game split. Most halfbacks are smart enough enough to know when to break the rule, but for long periods of most games halfbacks play split. It may revert back to traditional 6/7 but ATM there's generally no real difference in where they play. About the only difference we do see is last tackle options generally going to the halfback with the best kicking game.

None of which changes my basic point. We have five halfback options - McGuire, Burrow, Lilley, Sutcliffe and Moon - none of whom do the most basic role of a halfback in terms of setting up plays and controlling a game to any kind of standard. Lilley and Sutcliffe are young enough to be in the "may develop" box, but IMO its depressing that none of the five can run a team without another player to hold their hands.

Hence our No1 priority is to sign a quality creative organiser.
