Thoughts on Kyle Stanley?

Wondering what people's thoughts might be on making a play for Kyle Stanley? I'll certainly be interested in seeing how he goes playing in the halves for Samoa in the Four Nations.


He's off-contract and I thought that given we'll have a bit of money to play with whether a one-year deal with the opportunity to make a play for his favoured five-eighth position might be worth a risk.

I'm assuming that he'll have lost a fair amount of his speed and agility that made him look like a potential top-class fullback early in his career but given he's only 23 if he actually managed to string a series of games together and got a fair-dinkum pre-season together, it would be interesting to see what he could do as a five-eighth.

Certainly wouldn't hurt Norman to have another challenger and given he's very versatile, he could prove handy cover as well elsewhere???

  • I think we have enough 'cover' players now, particularly with the recent signings.

    My opinion is it's time to sign big...and we will.

  • The number of responses to this blog are a serious indication of how most on here feel about Kyle Stanley Phil.
  • PHIL I rather the great POH instead.
  • Yeah I reckon he's a good player
    When he's on the park.
  • What about Luke capewell?
    Can play fullback and in the halves a depth signing.
    • Nah we have Justin Hunt for fullback. Matto, ?, and Dockar-Clay for halves depth. Capewell would just be another Toby Evans.

  • Meh, no thanks. Lets chase Izzy and talk him into quitting Rara

  • No. Too injury prone, lazy and bog average. We have enough of those players.

  • I don't think he is average. The kid can play but is extremely injury prone.
    For the right money, I cant see a problem.

He always goes for the easy option first doesn't run hard doesn't use his size.Hes a110 kg guy playing like an 85 kg guy.Hes still slow after doing a off season with Roger Fabri.
