| This is my view on this topic.
Why are we signing a 31yr old over the hill Aussie? Takes an overseas place!
When we've got a decent Aussie fullback now he's only 26 getting better each game the fitter he gets. I've heard people saying he's crap but any1 remember his first season a Wigan he played very well. Get a good pre season under his belt and I think he could be 1 of the best fullbacks in sl.
Just thought what others think.

| McKinnon is far better than Phelps.

Thought Phelps did well today and was one of the better players last week, too. I think he's growing into the side and will be sorry if he goes.
Was staggered at his substitution.

| McKinnon is a better fullback but his injury record is worrying. Phelps would have been a decent fullback next season I agree but not quite good enough if we want to be a top 4 side.

And then some!
I have my doubts over injuries, but I've seen enough of Mckinnon over the years to know he brings a great game with a bit of X-factor thrown in.

Some of the new signings have surprised me. While I am not disputing his abililty{the new full back] his age is a concern for me. It has been stated elsewhere, when he is in his last season [I think] he will be pushing 34/35 yrs of age and I think at the standard that he will be expected play I think that it will be hard for him.

Wrong side of 30? Wouldn't that be 39? With the right side being 31?
Hope so, I'm 31.

| I didn't say the wrong side of 38 did I? The better side of 30 is twenties.
It's just my opinion and I think were at least 4/5 players short of been a good team next season.

Nobody is seeing Mckinnon play atm . He's been dropped because of poor form. Oh, and I'd rather have neither.

It's true that the brain turns to mush when you hit 31 then?
