Yep, in one series against a disorganised Kiwi rabble who didn't get along with the coach (Kemble) who was subsequently sacked.

Unfortunately, he didn't deliver in the RLWC08 but he was still better than McGuire.

Also unfortunate to be dropped in 2009 IMO.

But Tony Smith knows best, eh?

Not seen that word used on a RL forum since someone called rlAgent Provocateurrl levelled it at me whilst trying to discredit my rep power!, I've still not worked that one out myself neither. Sycophant - rep power ??

Then he had a mini rant about southstander, I doubt we will ever see him round these parts again given his feelings towards SS, he would have to be one sad act to create an alias to post on an internet forum that he has such hatred for wouldn't he.

Nothing as queer as folk mind

Agreed. truly a class half back who CAN deliver on the international stage.

Yet massively undervalued by the "knowledgeable" Rhinos fans.

Deals off then sunbeam.

Im sure if you head to the hamlet of Castleford they will welcome you with open arms. [size(maybe pitchfork's and torches on some nights)[/size

Alas Mr Stiff im sorry we could not arrange your transfer.

Ahhhh..but you're missing the point. The fact that you stated he should be our scrum half for five years after just one brilliant match might be construed by some to be a little bit of "knee jerk tedry".


Who on here has actually clamoured for the signature of said individual (Orford) ?? Or might it be just an effort by somebody to add weight to his irrational t exclamation ?

Please clear something up for me G1. You're happy to give Burrow the no. 7 shirt for the next 5 years, accepting its part & parcel of the game thta he may suffer serious injuries in that time.

However if we signed a top notch Australian scrum half who then got a season ending injury (ie Orford) then that becomes a good reason to claim that he is an over-rated waste of money?

Thanks

The only thing that i can clear up is that I agree with the first sentence and therefore fail to understand the relevance of the second.

Name me a top notch imported scrum half that has come over here and been a hige success, leading his team to trophies.

Only a badwaggoner would not see the difference between those two things.

What's a badwaggoner and are you able to name one?

I can only really think of Adrian Lam as a top drawer 7 who came over and won something.

Only a badwaggoner could not see a difference between a player coming over and been a success, and one leading a club to trophies.

Why does the trophies have to be the deciding factor? Can you not be a success without trophies?

Yup, I am struggling too.

Hardly a great advertisement for ditching your hugely successful domestically produced number 7 and going shopping in the NRL for a replacement (as many ignorant Leeds fans would) is it?

Recent big name number 7s Orford and Sherwin have really torn up the house.

To be fair, if it wasn't for injury Orford would have been very very good for the Bulls. He put in some cracking performances in his limited appearances.

Sherwin is painfully average.

Erm, because it's what everyone is trying to do isn't it?

Or is this tennis. We just come to marvel at one player. Oh, now I see why you feel the way you do about Buderus.
