So this leaves us with one extra overseas space if I'm right!

Reckon we will be having a closer look at some antipodeons with a view to splash the cash after the four nations........

Eric Grothe is looking for a new contract.

He is a winger.

If it's just one bad injury and he's now fit I'll not be too concerned.'"



2009 - 1 game
2008 - 20 games
2007 - 8 games
2006 - 20 games
2005 - 3 games
2004 - 14 games
2003 - 10 games

I can't remember them all, He has had some neck/spine injuries in his career.

And given his pedigree and performance in the GF he'd make an excellent signing. Rather have him than Walker.

I hope Kearney stays fit for us, because if that's the case he's a good signing, however given his record for injuries it's a risk. Hopefully one which will pay off.

An average of just under 11 games per season. Not a good sign. Here's hoping this isn't the pattern we'll see with him over here.

at least according to the pattern he's due a full season next year. And 2011 season deacon will be gone so surely we'll be signing a half anyway and the load on kearney wont be as big.

Might not be totally right but would seem his injuries came while playing FB.

You would hope that at 6 he will not be taking at many hits or having to put his body on the line as much.

But I could be wrong and he is just unlucky.

Glad to hear a bit of positive news. Even the rumour mill has been quiet for the last couple of weeks. Let's hope there's a lot more to come in the next couple of weeks.

I've been impressed with Kearney when I've seen him play. With a bit of luck his injury problems might be behind him and we'll see the best of him next year.

He used to play for South Sydney

2003 - was off the bench and played some hooker, half back and five-eigth
2004 - off the bench as utility and played some five-eighth
2005 - off the bench

Went to the Sharks

2006 - played a lot of five-eighth and half back for most of the season before being moved to the bench in round 15 and first started playing fullback in round 20 of that season
2007 - all fullback except one game as five-eighth
2008 - fullback for full season

I've watched him since he was young even before he played first grade.
He does have talent and for a lot of his career they struggled to find him a spot to play in consistently.
But I believe he has played his best footy at fullback.

When you're a Bradford fan there's always a light at the end of the tunnel. Unfortunately it's usually an oncoming train:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_7741.jpg

Good signing if he remains injury free, but it does pose the question, where will Sykes play next season? I'd hate to see him play centre for a full season again, so will he be our cover back if Platt is leaving ?

I'm thrilled that Halley will be playing FB though.

Good stuff - If he stays fit.

Now we need two top draw backs - a centre and a wing and a solid prop IMO.

The signing of Readon on top of that as cover in the backs and we are not looking too bad.
