Originally posted by ROC181 View PostHow many of us laughed at the signing of Kimmorley to the Dogs. I know I rolled on the floor yet he was one of their best for those 2years or so. He destroyed us last season on a Monday game I believe Mind you, most of their team was crap so perhaps he out shone in that team. My point is, and as the papers are saying that he is going for a song, it wouldn't hurt to have him when we don't have Pearce. Of course he may not like that but if he can't get a club, he'll have to settle for something.
Like I said, just a thought and thanks for yours.
Kimmorley was always going to be the Dogs established #7 where as Pearce is our gun half and will be for a good while. Cannot imagine Orford playing for the Jets and only playing in the top team when required.
Orford should do a Barrett and play for the Sharks or go futher south and play for the Raiders.
With Scott Dureaux shown the doors, the Knights are gambling on a young untried half from St Merge called Beau Henry. If he doesn't fire, don't be at all surprised if Orford chooses to head north, close to his Central Coast roots.

Don't put too much hope on this rookie Beau Henry....a huge gamble IMO.
Yes he might have set the NYC comp on fire however he's up against the big boys now.
Put it this way, coach Bennett has seen him play U20's at the Drags for two seasons. Saints have not exactly had a "genuine" halfback since Michael Head was pissed off to England in 2007/8.
If Wayne thought so much of Henry he would have advised the powers to be to retain the kid for the future. Instead they will again soldier on with Hornby & Fien as #7's.
Trust me, he will be donning the Knights colours!

Natural talent isn't the be all and end all - mental toughness and the right attitude are just, if not more, important.
