I think the club just didn’t rate
Keighran as a half.
I’m unsure about slade. The club seems to be distancing itself from the hardworking midget types
O'Sullivan isn’t an improvement though. His 2019 ICS highlights package on YouTube shows he struggles with creativity just like AK. It’s just all inside passes or one out plays. At least AK has a kicking game and goal kicking he can rely on as a half.
Slade was listed as 6'1 on his management profile when it was up. But you’re right his ceiling is low because his game relies on that “hard working” game play style. Not the type I’m necessarily a fan of either.
The other options are Kalepo and
Otukolo, who are both still too green for 2021 first grade minutes.
Jayden
Nikorima played most his career as a half and we just signed
Sean O’Sullivan as our fourth and final half. Unless they view J
Nikorima as more a hooker. His body looks in good shape, looks mentally sharpe.
