Kris Keating

Posted by Fiddy on August 6, 2009 at 4:11pm

From what im reading on this website, it seems like fans are split over Kris Keating and whether we should keep him or not. Before Hayne hit form this year, there was only 1 player in our team who was making line breaks and adding spark to the attack, that be Kris Keating. In fact, i think he made more line breaks in 1 game than Finchy did in a whole year.Morts has shown some great form this year, he will definately be a star in the future. My only concern is he will leave us for the Bulldogs when his contract expires. KK has already shown us he can steer the team around. With the guidance of DA, KK can become one of NRL's leading halfbacks.. IMO, KK and morts are the way to go, with Robson being a good back up when needed

KK wont become a good halfback imo. As soon as Mortimer matures enough, KK should slot into 5/8 and Mortimer at half.

Either way, Morts and KK could very well be a legendary combo. If they decide to stick with the club, which I think they will, they could go on to be our best halves combo since Kenny & Sterlo.... I know this is a big statement but they have already been playing together for a while in NYC and are still very young.

Imagine what could happen if they remain our halves for the next five seasons... they'll know each other inside out. Think of the possibilities...

i think kk and morts play too similar in attack when instead its better to have one ball player and one line attacking player, having two line attacking players which kk and morts are will leave our attack unorganised.

  If they know their own role, as well as each other's, they should be right. I think they both have have the potential to play either position at these stage and they're both good enough footballers to take resposibility for their play.
  
  If they train well and play within these responibilities, there's no reason to suggest they'd be unorganised. I think the fact that they're both attacking players works as an advantage, rather than a disadvantage.

they should know eachothers style and not step on eachothers toes. they played toyota cup together.

I don't think we should get rid of KK. Whilst we are still in the finals hunt, we shouldn't change what is working for the team. After all, we have beaten 2 of the premiership hot shots.

If we lose one more game before the Dragons in round 26, change away and start looking at combos for next year.

I can see it now KK wil return and be on fire like he was before he got injured, And every one who has bagged him will say lets sign KK and get rid of Morts.

krippy is a gun. he is a halfback. morimter is a gun. he is our 5/8. simple equation

as for robson, if we make the top 8 it wont be because of him. he is a solid defender and always has a good attitude. sadly he just doesnt have enough ability to be a quality playmaker..

i say if krippy is fit to play for wenty this week then he is fit to roll with the big boys!
