Message: [QUOTE="Big Pete, post: 2878033, member: 1899"] When Beale first came into the senior squad, he was considered by many to be our next superstar back. I remember a lot of fans had him in their 17 that year and were already talking about him in terms of being a future Origin player. BHQ may have even had a few accounts named after him, he was that popular. Then Beale suffered two serious injuries and was never quite as quick as he once was. Still, Henjak kept finding him spots in the side, I think at one point he was even filling the Kodi Nikorima Mr Fix It role for the side. In 2011 it was apparent fullback was his best position and anytime he played on the wing he was rubbish. It would have been interesting if Beale & Hoffman had have swapped over but it wasn't to be. I don't blame him at all for the Lockyer injury. It wasn't like Blair on McCullough where he just recklessly took out another player, he was doing his job in trying to secure a dangerous kick and Lockyer found himself at the wrong place at the wrong time. If you have to point the finger at anyone, point it at Copley for his awful performance in the Prelim against Manly. [/QUOTE]
