Keighran

[Andrew Walker]

Those kicks from dummy half were Cam Smith like albeit with the right foot

Natural ability like my childhood favourite Brett Kenny..such a fabulous goal kicker too.

If Verrills plays 80 minutes though when would Keighran play - If 14 may have limited or no game time wasting a bench spot.

Not sure that Robbo would have Keighran starting and Verrills off the bench though or that Keighran's goal kicking would be considered a major requirement for the team to have him in the team week in week out either and playing ling minutes.

One would say there would be 4 props in the 17 each week - Leaving 2 bench spots - Radley and N Butcher could play DH when required with SST/Walker doing the goal kicking.

I would assume if Walker is out which is a possibility that an option would be Keighran at 5/8 with Lam as half .

Also no guarantee that Tedesco will be back either so Manu to FB and Suaalii stays as centre.

i don't disagree with that. rads could cover at dummy half (although it's a waste of his talents) and could even fill in at first receiver (which he does a lot anyway). keighran is more versatile cos he's mainly a centre and is a better cover if one of the outside backs goes down but if everyone who's available is fit and in form then a bench of, say, liu, sitili, butch and fletch might be more potent

I can't see him staying. Too good a kicker to be wasted on the bench, and not going to get a start in a full-strength Roosters side.

love his kicking game from dummy half, everyone complaining about his defence needs to understand he has never really played hooker until this year and is a half/centre.

Would everyone be saying the same thing if Joey Manu played like that at #9
