I guess you're not happy with the signing?

I can see peoples reservations but I'm happy with it. He's in good form atm and is a leader something that we are desperately missing. I watch setanta and couple of wks ago they were questioning his ommision from the origin squad stating that his from now is better than when he was an automatic selection for Aus. I think the club as realised that he's getting older hence the 12 mth deal.

I'm with everybody else on here that we need an half-back but I also believe the club know that too. If the club don't deliver on that for next year then I'll be moaning as much as anybody but I think they will deliver.

Think this needs to go in the rumour section but hoepfully only for now....

Great signing if true and it happens (either one would be a massive improvement on what we've had in years), although we also need 1, preferably 2 big forwards who can add some size, aggression and go forward to our pack. No point having a great scrum half if he's constantly playing behind a beaten pack

You're right about the forwards although Lauaki would be one such player were he ever to arrive.

Agree on all counts. Hopefully Lauaki, should he ever get here, will help address the forwards issue.

Certainly help with our agression.

hopefully will be a scrum half . What do you reckon will be the other one , could it be a full back with doubts over motu or do think horney will stay there ? maybe a centre ? any names who are realistic everyone keeps saying orford,finch but anyone else ?

No chance of getting Brett Kimmorley from what i have heard him say about moving from Aus.

What did he say to you?

Didn't Kimmorley say a couple of years back that him and his wife didn't want to move from the Shire, let alone move to the UK?

Not sure, DABHAND heard him say something though

Personally, I think scrum-half is probably the position where genuine quality can extend a career whilst still playing well. Mainly because if they know what they are doing, they shouldn't need to do as much physical work as other positions and thereby protect themselves a bit. The only issue is if there are any injury question marks. Andrew Johns is a great example, if it hadn't been for his neck he still had more than enough brains to keep playing for another 3 or 4 years.

Orford and Jennings would be luvverly!!

I heard Inglis......
