Not one to usually to hear rumors. But heard today that were looking at Brett Kearney at Bradford. Only signed a two year deal at the Bull's at the start of the 2009 season so OOC at the end of this year.

I was in the pub after the game today and i was gobsmacked when the Braddy fans were telling me that Wigan are after him. Don't really know what to make of it.

I thought Kearney was a quality Full back in the NRL.

He's underrated. Playing in a below par Bradford team.

That could mean sam back in to the halves. We certainly are missing some spark in attack. Our style of 5 drives and a kick this year is very different from last year

I thought he was immense in the NRL, but having said that he does not seem to have recovered from his injury fully and has lost some of his explosive qualities that made him so good.

Would not be gutted if we were to sign him but also would not be overly excited either on using a quota spot on such a player.

Kearney has been made to look a bit average cos he's been playing at 6 whilst Bradford were attacking, and at FB in defence. Stick him at FB always and he's a good player, he has been carrying Bradfords backline this year (and most of last when he was fit).

I'll have Vaeliki back before cheering for that lump. Pryce is a big, mobile player, who has the ability to be a great player. However his enthusiasm is shocking, playing for Wigan is almost a chore to him.

Completely off topic, is there any chance Piggy would come back. Really miss that fella.

I don't think he has the ability to be a great player, otherwise we would have seen a glimpse of it. The world is full of 6'6" men. Why are they not on a rugby league field? Why aren't they heavyweight champions?
Because they lack agility. Every now and then along comes a tall person who can move as well as a smaller one. e.g. Mohammed Ali. And he wasn't 6'6". That's just too tall. Okay for union.

what a stupid comment, have you never heard of Micheal Jordan and many many more 6' 6" and over men in the NBA, now those guys have agility

It isnt stupid at all. I think its a perfectly valid point.
