It’s a huge ask to throw 2 youngsters in at the deep end. Ideally These 2 kids need to be eased in behind 2 established NRL halves over the next 2 seasons.
Yeah I understand what you're saying but they have to hit the ground running at some stage. Theres no real (NRL) experienced halfback left at the club right now, so unless we sign someone up, we could very well see these guys open the season straight from kick off.
The name Paul Turner popped up today along with those two and Keighran. Is he any chance or is Cameron George just making light of the loss of SJ?
Paul Turner is a way off FG. He's a prospect for sur - but the Australian School Boys owned the NZ u18s with him playing leading them around.
get the whole off season to train in the position and then Sink or swim. I'm a fan of this approach
It's how Shaun and so many other young halves started out. It SEEMS like the only way to do it, unless they put Green at 7 and Hiku at 6 (Im not a fan of Hiku in the halves) and the youngsters come on for Hiku. Obviously no-one else is offering an alternative so thats all I can see happening.
You describe him as 'terrific'. I like the sounds of terrific. I look forward to this Tom Ale. Defence can be fixed.
Is he another union convert?
Good buy because he's quite versatile and he fits the Warriors style of play. To get him cheap would be a bonus. I wouldn't say he's up there with the best but more of a 'thereabouts' player.
There was an article with Kearney saying there will be no stop gap measure (eg no Hiku or Harris) in the halves.
