agar, sharp, rule or hetherington?

I guess you're not happy with the signing?

I can see peoples reservations but I'm happy with it. He's in good form atm and is a leader something that we are desperately missing. I watch setanta and couple of wks ago they were questioning his ommision from the origin squad stating that his from now is better than when he was an automatic selection for Aus. I think the club as realised that he's getting older hence the 12 mth deal.

I'm with everybody else on here that we need an half-back but I also believe the club know that too. If the club don't deliver on that for next year then I'll be moaning as much as anybody but I think they will deliver.

Great signing if true and it happens (either one would be a massive improvement on what we've had in years), although we also need 1, preferably 2 big forwards who can add some size, aggression and go forward to our pack. No point having a great scrum half if he's constantly playing behind a beaten pack

You're right about the forwards although Lauaki would be one such player were he ever to arrive.

Agree on all counts. Hopefully Lauaki, should he ever get here, will help address the forwards issue.

Certainly help with our agression.

What did he say to you?

Didn't Kimmorley say a couple of years back that him and his wife didn't want to move from the Shire, let alone move to the UK?
