| Quote: Bulls4Champs2010 "What u mean?'"
With Jeffries in the team Kearney can play full back full time and time his attacking runs more effectively, Ainscough can get a service, Royston can get passes when he comes through, and as you point out Herbert, and also Diskin/L'Estrange, have a half back to work with all the time, and Jeffries stats are overall much better than Briggs or Sykes. So even if he is an average player, it is overall how he affects the rest of the team, and in my opinion and I think yours from your comment re Herbert, that will be positive. Which means it should be a good signing for the team.

I was actually commenting on PAC's reply. But thanks for your input anyway. Think it will benefit the team personally if the Jeffries that wants to play turns up.

Aye, and Eddie is hinting at it too. And, as we all know:

There there Andrew. Nice try at deflection, but just not good enough. A bit like Mr Briggs himself.

Dear Mr Kettle,
You are black.

| Jeffries has only been signed because Kearney is out injured, and not as the Messiah. Surely at least that much is apparent to anyone?

I'm not so sure, with Briggs clearly out of favour and the 6 and 7 selections not working I feel Potter was probably on the look out anyway.

Oh I'm sure he was, and still is, but we're talking temporary fix, and then some backup. I'd love to know Potter's real thoughts on Southernwood and Briggs's potential and chances of getting runs, but IF a top class half did become available then I don't think the chances of us being in the frame are affected by the Jeffries signing.
People were on Potter's case like "Sykes? Sykes??? at 6????" which he hardly needed telling, so he's done something to address that, I reckon, and that's all. Whether there is any more for Jeffries, will depend on how well he takes his chance. He certainly has the ability, but doesn't show it often enough.

I am not so sure that Jeffries is being viewed as such a short term fix, I presumed this at first but now I'm unsure what the plans are.

| We'll have to see who we recruit for next season before we see what plans Potter really has for Jeffries.

Absolutely, much will depend on whether we can persuade Lockyer

If I'm honest I really think Potter will resign at the end of this season.

Can't see it. If potter resigned after one yr without us showing any improvement then he would have no chance of a coaching job downunder.

| Quite. I think he has to at least get us back into the 8 to show he's achieved something.

I think we've been short of cover in the halves for the last season and a half, so far from being 'short term', Jeffries signing fixes a fairly long standing problem imo.
To be fair to Mick Potter I guess it would have been fixed pre-season but for the Orford farrago, with his presence on our register causing no end of recruitment difficulties; who knows what our half back pairing would have been if only Orford had been honest and said he wanted away in the middle of last season?
