Nightingale: Beale Is The Real Deal




Thursday 1 November 2012 3:01 PM

St George Illawarra Dragons winger Jason Nightingale is excited to link-up with new teammate Gerard Beale when full-time first-grade pre-season training commences next week.
Beale, 22, is one of five new signings joining the Red-and-Whites ahead of the new campaign and will remain at the Club until at least the end of 2015.

Cutters Duo Join Dragons For 2013

The Logan Brothers junior is predominantly a fullback and recently made his fifth international appearance for New Zealand against Australia last month.
Nightingale, 26, was unavailable for the fixture due to post-season knee surgery but has vouched for his fellow Kiwi teammate.
“Gerard is a great bloke and powerful kind of player who I’ve had the opportunity to tour with a couple of times now,” said Nightingale.
“He is quiet but someone who commits himself on the field and I’m looking forward to getting to train with him when he joins the Club.
“Gerard has played some good football previously with his last Club so he already has the experience and talent under his belt.”

I'm married with 2 kids and i certainly like the ladies, however, for some reason Mr Nightingale has a lot of appeal for me. I mean, look at that photo.

is there something wrong with me?

Its the Red V thats reflecting in your eyes.

Nighty, Morris, Beale will be a cracking back 3. All they need is good ball.

 

[woodley_11]

Still not sold on Beale. I'm looking forward to see how he goes at fullback, linking up with the other outside backs, under the high ball, his support play etc.

 

[Minh]

He'll go well. Looking forward to watching him play.

 

[Ace-STi]

Rate him well, he played really well in the last test against Australia's best and will no doubt be a future asset to the team

Nighty, Morris, Beale will be a cracking back 3. All they need is good ball.

f**ken oath. An international back three again. He's also only a pup at 22. I've got a good feeling about this kid

 

[_Johnsy]

I think he'll do a stellar job @ the back.

Yes there is.


Cooper and Morris are far more attractive.

5 new signings?

Who else is there?

 

[Prometheus]

They may be including Cutters or NYC players who have been promoted to the NRL squad.

Maybe they're counting Jeep and McGuigan.

 

[watatank]

They're counting Cook and Wakeman

 

[Kuro]

Beale will do fine. Some minor work under the high ball but he is a solid fullback solution. Not expecting miracles but at least he's not afraid to run at the line.

 

[Slippery Morris]

If he goes well at fullback what happens to Cummins? I hear alot of great things about this kid same with Quinlan. Quinlan was very impressive last season when Cummins got injured. Saints will have a team of fullbacks.

 

[64 Dragon]

And hookers.
