I think it's an interesting signing. He's potentially a very good player as seen at the beginning of this season (or last season...I can't exactly remember, my memory is shot.) I think given a good chance, he could be a top player.
I just don't think, however, that we need another half/hooker...not for one year anyway. Sure, under a 3 or 4 year contract as a replacement for Noddy, maybe...but as a one year contract? I doubt we would see him in firsts. Seeing as though we lost Aitken, I think Kearney more than covers that loss.
Looking forward to seeing how he goes...;if the rumour is true.
