And Joe Burgess off to Souths now

Interesting move if it's true. I would have preferred Norman, but Keary brings pace to the table which we haven't really had in our halves. He's not an organising half and might fit in well with Pearce. I won't condemn the guy but its not a move that excites me at all

We would have won with him in the side yesterday.

South Sydney playmaker Luke Keary will join arch-rivals the Roosters on a two-year deal.
St George Illawarra had been favourites to snare Keary, off contract at the end of the season, but the tricolours have snuck under their guard. The deal is likely to be finalised on Monday but, due to NRL protocols, there won't be an official announcement for about 10 days.
The move has massive ramifications for a number of clubs and halves as the player merry-go-round swings yet again.
The Roosters have been unhappy with current pivot Jackson Hastings and have been in the market for a new playmaker. They missed out on Lachlan Coote, who re-signed with the Cowboys, while a late bid for Mitchell Moses wasn't enough to prevent him from taking up the option to remain at Wests Tigers.
Hastings remains on contract with the Roosters but the latest developments suggest he would be free to leave early if granted a release.
The chances of Keary remaining at Redfern effectively ended when the premiership-winning player was engaged in a much-publicised row with Russell Crowe at the Souths co-owner's Nana Glen property. The 24 -year-old had received some interest from rugby franchises but will now continue his career in the NRL.
The move will come as a shock to the Dragons, who believed they had done enough to entice him to the joint-venture outfit. The Red V had put negotiations with Benji Marshall on hold in the belief Keary would be on their books next year, but they will now need to reassess whether to keep the Kiwi international after coming up short. With few playmakers on the open market - most have re-signed with their incumbent clubs - the Dragons may now need to get Marshall back to the negotiating table.

we didnt mind getting craog wing, ill give him a go but if his grubby soiuffs habits come into our game well crucify him eg we dont lie down in tackles tyo milk a penalty!

Considering Pearce is Robbo's puppet and will never be removed from the Club,Keary is the perfect complementary player..
Has speed and great instincts,great decision by the Club!

Braith Anasta's Wallet doesn't agree with this move. Is it for this season or starting next season?

[rooster_booster]

I feel like judgement should be reserved until we find out $$$ and whats happening with Hastings/Pearce.

[eddie]

Hastings will do well in first grade given a little patience and a decent dummy half.
Shame really.

[TheBigFella]

Pearce gone? Hastings & Keary in the halves.. Watson off the bench to cover Friend & the halves.

[Guest]

So either Pearce or Hastings is facing the sack. It seems it is definitely Hastings. So when and how will we cut him?

Keary is worth a try. Pearce and Keary could not be worst than Nikorima and Hastings.

Surely Pearce is the safest he has ever been at this club despite what happened at the start of year.
