Keating/Kingston

[ianlovesparra]

no..and it wouldn't surprise me if DA doesn't make a decision until very late in the year..

True, the bargain buys!

I agree, but I have a feeling Kinga's worth will increase week to week. Don't be suprised if other clubs in need of a hooker bring out the cheque book and quickly.

Well Mateo can always fill the 5-8 role and have either Mortimer or Keating at halfback if the other gets injured. Mitchell is more a hooker but can fill in the halves (has before) or we could move Reddy or Burt into 5-8 if needed but they would have to be accompanied by Keating or Mortimer IMO.

ATM we need to sign a backup and I guess that why so many were looking at Timmy. There are a few option atm but lets just cross our fingers that these kids dont go down with any injuries.

Sometimes hope isn't good enough. This year Finch quit, while Mateo and KK suffered long term injuries. I think we need at least one more specialist half in our 25 for next yr otherwise if injuries occur we'll have to rely on rookies again and we just don't have the talent there.

Everyone talks about MK's potential. Well guess what, Kingston has potential - Potential to be one of the best hookers in the world. I second any memo to DA re signing Kingston. He is a GUN!

Motion passed!

Excellent game by Kingston, He really has impressed me.

Good Signing by Hagan .........

 

[Sparky 74]

If last night was eveidence of why Kingston deserves a spot in Parra's top 25 then I'm at a loss as to why. Behind the 2010 forward pack I think he'll slay em...

Word has that the EELS are looking at Heath Le'Strange if this is so I think Parra should punt the Keating Brothers & re sign Tim Smith for the 7

And that`s where Robson comes in, surely?

 

[lingard]

surely Kinga has as much utility value as Robo :?

I could see Robson playing half or hooker - maybe five-eight. He might even play lock at a pinch (defensively, at least). Not so sure about Kingston`s flexibility.

Nice Jake, :thumb Credit where credit is due. Hages must have seen something in Kinga that alot of us didn't!

 

[Blue Bagger 66]

Surely after today there has to be room for Kingston?

 

[hindy111]

matt keating is still 22-Is this his 2nd year in top grade or 3rd?
If its his 2nd which i think it is than he is twice the player of last year.And wont be at his best till 24 so hmmm-Kinga is good-creative-I like him a lot-Matt is tougher thou and a btter kicking game

 

[Jake the snake]

I thought MK was shocking today, he failed to run the ball when he had several chances to do so.

Very dissapointting game. Kingston killed it when he came on.

 

[Doggiesfan09]

How many games has Kingston played for you guys this season , was he injured at the start of the year cause i was very suprised not seeing his name in the first few weeks. I still dont know why Cronulla let him go.

Been great watching you guys the last few weeks , im just praying you dont finish seventh if we finish second , you guys are a big danger if you make the finals

 

[big boppa eel]

i still think M Keats is a head and shoulders above Kinga..

No way, Kinga can win you a match given the right circumstance, I dont think MK can, solid but not a match winner.

 

[big boppa eel]

I'm sorry but what exactly do you have an issue with? Aren't you happy we bought a great player who will help us win a premiership? Are you aware that there is a thing called a salary cap so any suggestion of us trying to buy a premiership is rubbish.

Also you actually liked the fact that we didn't improve our squad for all those years and slid into mediocrity? I'm bewildered by your post.

Same, dont know where he is going with this.

Agreed everyone please get the f**k over T Smith and look to the future and not to the past.

 

[big boppa eel]

Probably because Tim Smith and the other options mentioned can kick?

:roll:.

 

[big boppa eel]

Kingston has not played a bad game yet.
