Rumoured and Confirmed signings - Part 4

[BxTom]

The right decision but why say it? Make luai and Burton fight for it all pre-season

Perhaps they are frightened of losing Luai if he isn't given a proper shot. He's been waiting long enough. I'm sure he could find another club with no problems. A case of give me a shot or I'm walking.

 

[Mr Angry]

Kikau --> Sharks

Sure I made it up.

Next contract we have Fiji at heart.

You can keep Burton, that sheep farger will be star.

 

[Mr Angry]

BTW Burton will go the way of Curtis Sironen.

The sooner the better for him.

He is far more athletic than Sironen.

I don't think Luai would be handing out ultimatums yet. Sure he'd be looking to leave if he didn't get picked but to start making demands now wouldn't look good and he doesn't seem like that guy.

Its probably just confidence, let him settle into building that partnership with cleary over the preseason with out constantly looking over his shoulder.

Maybe so, watch it happen.

There is nothing wrong with a 5/8 who can play backrow and be lethal, we call him Wade made him Captain and stole him from you.

I do like the idea that Luai would be seen as the number 1 and Burton has to work to overcome him. He's been there longer, played more 1st grade etc. A fired up Matt Burton would be a scary prospect on field I think.

 

[Fangs]

What are you going on about ? Some of your posts are beginning to sound more than a little agenda driven.

Agenda? Never.

Wade already looked like a backrower at Burtons age, same as Sironen. He is almost twenty and not yet 90kgs, I really don't think it is going to happen. It could happen but they would have to work to bulk him up, it wont be a natural thing like Wade or Curtis, not even close IMO.

He has earned first shot over the past 2 seasons IMO. Been far more patient than most kids in his position would be.

He might fail. But even if he does it's going to push Burton harder trying to jump ahead of him knowing Luai gets first shot.

Best case Luai kills it and Burton is playing so well we figure out how to fit them both in.

To be perfectly honest my right thumb is more athletic than sironen and it’s only job is to change the tv Chanel and press the mute button when Blocker is commentating

Just like we have in the past with Alexander, Fittler, Carter, and to a lesser extent Izzard.

 

[Tronald Crump]

Angry's trolling. He knows he is in for a tough year next year with the Sharks.

Angry’s cool. He’s probably one of the only things I like about the sharks

why do you say that?

I think he's trying to have fun with us rather than be malicious.

 

[Mr Angry]

He is a big fella, will fill out, and hopefully kill Qlders.

Heart of a 6, body of a backrower, this is not a bad thing at all.

I reckon he would love the beach, when we steal him, do not be angry, you have Nathan.

Always, love my pennies, joined the same year.

f**k Manly.

You know it.

 

[Mr Angry]

I tease my own team much FTR.

But I would be happy if you win, if we do not.

Sure you do not want Moylan back? He can play when fit.

Nope you may keep him,
And its better that your here, than perth red from the expansion threads, dudes really killing the vibe on that thread

Btw wado left, we didnt resign or stop him, so you didn't steal him, actually you could say you stole him from cowboys who really wanted him

He is built like Tom Turbo not like Wade or Siro, he isn't going to fill out like those two. He is far, far more likely to be converted to fullback than backrower if he doesn't make it in the halves.
