O'hallaran was a really good young player. His defense was always very good and he improved his attack in first division where he became the dominant player in the side. His pace was also very good, as ST points out. I was pissed off that we let him go, but was told he was asking for big money (which he received in england) so I can understand why he wasn't retained. But, to say he wasn't a quality player simply shows how little attention you paid to his work. A dependable player in first grade is absolutely invaluable, and mark was our most dependable back.
I think miles is one of the worst backs to be involved with a first grade side. He can barely play the ball properly, is always dicy under the high ball, has half hearted defense and no attacking awareness. His only advantage is the fact he can run.
