The club has also come to terms with South Korean veterans Tae-Yong, a former national captain who played in the quarter-finals of the 2002 World Cup, and his teammate from 1998, Seo Jung-Won, who scored in Korea's breakthrough 2-2 draw with Spain in the 1994 World Cup and also played in 1990. Both are aged 34.

very interesting signing. whilst 34 yrs old, i am very keen to see them play!

i think we have underestimated this queensland side..............their coach has openly admitted that they are going to be signing all foreigners now because the coach says that the new league must be ezciting have flair etc and not have nsl players who r rubish in that department...........hes gonna sign brazilians, europeans, africans and a philipino should be an interesting squad who will be able to out dribble alot of teams

I think this could be a good move for the Lions. It doesn't look like there would have been much hope for them if they just signed mainly ex-NSL players, which I don't think would entice a largely rugby-following state into coming to see the Lions play.
