todays t&a says we have earmarked kearney for the standoff spot.

certain other people think their 'opinion' is gospel and must be listened to

slthough personally I wonder if were thinking of using kearney at 7 given sykes good form at 6 and deacs poor first half of season. suspect in reality we'll see the 3 of them fighting it out for the 2 half spots and the form pair playing.

rlSM shows his working out.rl

Halfbacks next season then are from Sykes, Kearney and Deacon.

Centres from Sykes, Nero, Crookes and Walker.

I can see a lot depending on how Kearney performs. Hope he's over his injury troubles. We need a quality playmaker for 2010 without a doubt.

As for Walker, I read that he's a reformed character these days, hope that's the case. The stories linking him to us didn't make him sound too enthusiastic though. As someone said he may have visa troubles yet too.

Shouldn't have never been convicted.

I guess we'll see then.

If Kearney is fit then he'll certainly improve the team but whether hell do that most as a No6 or a No1 I'm not sure. At least we'll have some more options though.

Any halfbacks in the academy likely to get a run next season for the odd game or is it too early?

I was wondering if we might see the likes of Lilycrop or the twins in the occasional first team game in 2010 too?

Kearney will play FB regardless of what the T & A say.

Still not convinced these two are good enough tbh.
Just can't see it not even played much reserve rugby yet massive step up.

You reckon . . . . . ?

By that I mean that fullback will be his "permanent" rather than one he fills in at from time to time.

What makes you so sure?

Macca's previous fanying about with Dave Halley.

Opinion only, then?

Hmmmmmmmmm. We'll have to wait an see, but I reckon Mac's seen the light with DH.

Yep, but I'm usually not far off.
