I always liked Keary as a 7, and yesterday's game showed his value. We need him....pay whatever it takes. And Holmes
He's a geniune half and that's what we need.
not for 800k champ!!He's a geniune half and that's what we need.
agreed.
Widdop 5/8.
Keary halfback.
Agreed. Keary to sign for 400k
Benji to 5/8 and Widdop to NSW Cup.
As an aside I watched Luke Keary closely on Sunday. I had not really paid attention to him and I thought he looked pretty sharp. It is well documented that we have two Number 6's in the halves and they do not compliment each other. I liked that Keary played directly. He tended to take the ball from the dummy half on the move and going to the line before linking with his forwards. Benji does not do this. We bring our forwards into the line directly from Rein.
The longer the game went the more Keary started to worry me as a Saints supporter. I thought that if South's were to win it would come off the back of Keary.
Is he worth $800K? I don't think so; but it seems obvious that Benji won't be around next year and I would be happy to sign a 23 year old up and coming genuine half-back.
He has been rather quiet in last few weeks....not sure his so called market value is that realistic?
