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.

Brett Hodgson is drawing his pension but still a fine player.

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?
