You cannot fault the player for effort, and I think he would be very good in a better team. Hopefully that will be us before the end of the season, although I am not too optimistic.

Brett is better than Shad, I think there is little debate there.

Shad does have some characteristics about his game that are better than Brett's though (such as his tackling and support play) which mean he has been a useful addition to our squad.

If we were to lose Brett (which at the minute I think could happen unless we start to improve) it won't be the end of the world providing we have somebody in mind to fill the quota spot to strengthen elsewhere.

I think he's done OK and I have to agree that simply being 'steady' in a team that is not achieving it's potential is the best we can expect from any of the players.

I thought he was good against Catalans and seemed to be playing in a dual role in earlier games switching between SO and FB.

You also have to take into account that it's going to take time to adapt from playing Championship and SL rugby. Take that into account and compare to how Briggs has settled in... OK, it's not an exact comparison as Briggs has had an injury and has less experience, but I think Royston has made the transition better.

That's very fair comment. Expecting him to move up a division, join a side with the level of cohesion that the Bulls are currently showing, as well as swapping position during the games [iand[/i be a top influential player to boot is asking far too much, imo. He's doing OK.

with a settled specialist SO we should see the Brett Kearney that scored a hat trick against SGI for Cronulla as full back. even the club admit in his profile that is his best position attacking wise. Full credit to him for playing where he is asked, rather than where he is best, and yes his missed tackles % is not good, but that might also improve if his position is FB full time. So imo still far too early to judge any one, after the next three must win SL games yes.

Seems like that many just arn't that bothered if BK leaves. Can't blame them really.
