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.
Is it true that Richard Agar's favorite movie of all time is Groundhog Day or does he just generally like the same boring s**t day after day, season after season?

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.

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.
I really enjoy long walks especially when they are taken by people I don't like!
