Kurtley Beale for fullback?

[Dingo]

Des was seen at waratahs game
Kurtley Beale off contract end of year
What do you think of KB at fullback?
Should we chase him?

 

[Freakzilla]

For sure! he's an excellent play maker. He could be Barba 2012.

Yeah but Barba 2012 became Barba 2013...

Weren't we linked to him end of last year/beginning of this year?

I'd welcome him.

He cant tackle though thats the major negative.

Will need to add on a few Kg's of muscle in the off season also.

I think he would be a great signing if he can control his off field life (which he is doing currently). Still young - can be a long term player in the No. 1 positon for us.

Has represented at super rugby level and has played tests for Australia. Aint no dud.

 

[Hacky McAxe]

It's been a while since we had a good fullback thread.

If Thompson can tackle I'm sure Beale will be able to lol

Barba was weak under the high ball and couldnt tackle, But Des improved both traits.

But I do agree his tackling isn't something to be desired lol.

 

[Fruitty Pebbles]

Hahahaha VERY True, and I think Beale has had similar off field incidents but has cleaned up his act recently I think.

 

[billybob]

Yeah but Barba 2012 became Barba 2013...

haha and now (drum roll please)..... Barba 2014

 

[FreshSoulL]

Yeah but Barba 2012 became Barba 2013...

Which became Barba 2014.

Edit: Didnt see above post LOL

 

[Dingo]

We did chase him last year but he signed a one year deal with tahs
We might be having a second go

 

[Qld-Dog]

+ he goes walkabout during a game....no thanks

 

[GrogDog]

Geez I miss the days when the guys on here knew real "inside" info and we talked about things that may actually happen! Please if your still out there feel free to send me a message with the goss.

He is a far more complete player than Barba ever was a sever will be. I have followed him since he was a schoolboy and in my honest opinion he would be the icing on the cake for us. The way I see it you can have a powerful weapon at fullback like Inglis and Folau or a skilful deceptive fullback like Inglis, Stewart, Slater. Hayne kind of falls into both. I'd prefer a powerful kind of fullback but failing that Beale would not disappoint, especially since he'd be able to cover halves, centre or wing if needed.

However keep in mind that Hasler was merely a spectator in the crowd. There is nothing to suggest its anything more than that. I'd also be very doubtful of our chances of securing a top rugby player less than 12 months from the rwc

 

[Bad Billy]

Would take him in heartbeat but highly doubt we can afford him.

Kurtley Beale is no certainty for the RWC squad, having said that, he could certainly draw big money from European rugby teams to play there.... the fact he hasn't kinds of shows he is wanting to keep his eligibility for the Wallabies.

Most importantly, as you said, Des was a spectator at the game, the top reasons he was there likely had nothing to do with scouting players.

 

[The DoggFather]

Why would Des draw attention to himself if he was scouting?
