Phil Kearns (64)
I'd like to see him brought in for a full pre-season at the Reds to see if he can get fit enough to push for a place. It'd probably need a minumum contract to really set him up for the best chance of success though. Still, he has so much potential so it feels like a worthwhile gamble. He's probably been one of the big loser's in the loss of the NRC on the player side - having that couple of months semi-pro at a higher level of competition is exactly what he could use to press his case and get him ready to make the most of a professional pre-season right now.Yeh he went on a Tahs train and trial a couple of years ago and from all reports actually came back from the time away in a worse condition, which might be reason he's not on more professional club radars.
I'm guessing he's still playing QPR because he's aiming to crack a Super Rugby team. Considering his age and ability, I've seen less capable players head overseas by now and have long careers, particularly front rowers.
