Rumoured and Confirmed signings - Part 4

[OldPanther]

Then you lose how he is best trampling over guys half his size

Sure but it's killing his body and he struggles to get up and play the ball at times.

That is cause our attack is just hand him the ball every set. Him off the bench and used better he will carve up

Kikau's best attribute is trampling players on the edges. Moving him to the middle would only encourage Ivan to use him as a battering ram and tire him out quicker.
Later in his career when he slows down I would move him to the middle but not now.
I think he would be better playing 60 minutes on the edge with a breather in between to maximize his rampaging runs.

 

[Luke Bowden]

Rather than buy hargraves or prior just throw kikau to prop thats what he used to play before we moved him to edge backrower and grab a graham.

Where does all this Graham talk come from? He’s not even off contract and loves the Sharks.

You want to deprive Ivan of his greatest tactic?

I agree with the general sentiment (and the whole thing is just a silly meme) but I do think Wade has a soft spot for the club. He implied in an interview on Matty Johns show a while back about expecting to play with the club that brought him through, but he learned that that's now how things work in footy. Hard to know but felt like he still had a soft spot for the place. He's a Blacktown boy after all.

That said there's next to no chance he leaves the Sharks. Seems pretty happy now.

Agree it’s pointless he will finish his NRL with the Sharks

That could work. Either way the 80 minutes is too much. A 10 - 15 minute break would do wonders.

One the Sivo thing. Looking at tries alone it looks bad. Change Sivo for either of our wingers we don't score any extra tries..

Parra's wingers touch the ball more in one game then ours do in a month. We use ours as extra forwards not attacking weapons as the ave metres a game shows

No, I think this is mostly BS to be honest. Sivo has scored and/or set up numerous tries when Parramatta have been stuck down their own end and Sivo is hitting the ball up much like Mansour and To'o do. Sivo is better than any of our wingers, by a large margin, even if he played with a more limited team like ours.

Our wingers have gained more metres though but hey lets just look at part of it

Our wingers have also played league since they were 6 years old. Sivo has only played the game for few years

Honestly I'll take the NRL's leading try scorer over a prop on the wing. It's pretty silly that anyone could seriously argue this.

To'o is 6 years older then To'o over his career we will get more from him than Parra will Sivo

When have we ever had someone top the try scorers chart? We don't do that not saying it is right but he wouldn't be the top scorer if played for us that is my point

 

[Dave's mate]

Nah no one stays here long. The club is a cesspool

Well true but when you are Gus only looking down the track no brainer really

 

[franklin2323]

It would of been To'o or Sivo but even Mansour has more metres gained and better tackle % than Sivo. Chrichton has been no better than Mansour so can't even use the someone else would do better

Sivo has better tackle % than Mansour.
And only missed 11 tackles to To"o who has 9 missed tackles.
I'll take Sivos 20 tries over Mansours run metres

 

[Luke Bowden]

The Sivo conversation is only slightly more pointless than the Graham one.

Might be time to delete LU for another year.

I really can’t believe you’re still trying to argue losing Sivo isn’t a big deal.

it’ll go down as one of the worst losses in our history.


And it didn’t need to be a choice between To’o and Sivo, they should’ve chosen between Sivo & MWZ. We didn’t need another experienced winger when we already had Philips, Mansour & DWZ.
