Orford please, but either would be a cracking signing.

Orford please

Sounds to me like a halve and a back. Lets hope the club get it right.

When we were linked to Kimmorley last season I thought he was too old, but after seeing him play several times for the Bulldogs this year I would love to see him here. He really has turned the years back and is in sensational form.

Orford is no spring chicken either, but again his organisational skills are just what we need.

If we sign either of these there will be the raised eye brows about their age, but both are exceptional 7's. The only other option for me would be Finch, but the only advantage he would have over Kimmorley or Orford would be his age. As a player, he is not of the same standard imo.

We have plenty of young players it's experience we need in bucket loads which is why Fitzgibbon is a good signing on a 1 year and it's also why we must sign a proven top quality experienced NRL half back and not a junior who might make it.

I'll wait for this to be moved but in the mean time RL Express and the Aussie press believe that we are about to sign one of these two players and Agar says " We are pretty hopeful that we are down the track in a couple of areas and I would like to think that in the next two or three weeks we will have landed another couple of targets" He also says, " We are short in the halves there is no doubt about that"

Either would simply be a massive improvement on what we currently have but if I was to pick one I would go for Orford as I think he offers a little more but like I say either would be a major step in the right direction.
