Blunt Barrett says Sharks are in danger of sinking

Kimmorley did nothing more than try his ass off for the club for 7 years or whatever it was.

Although frustrated with some of his performances, he also provided some the great highlights in recent years.

He was hated by the same people that think Barrett is the Saviour and that Ricky is the greatest coach in the world.

If you look at it, Kimmorley never played in a team with a coach that could coach attacking football & never had a decent team around him (except the first year with Ando, we did allright that year).

And still we managed to make the semis a couple of times and we didn't really deserve it.

We haven't had a decent team since 2002.

Kimmorely is a fine player and showed last year with a good team around him and a decent coach, he's a fine player.

He wasn't with us but it wasn't COMPLETELY his fault as others on here will try and lead you to believe.

Good player that everyone directed their hate to because, well I dunno really when the whole team was shyte.

Forget waht Azzah said. Its a load of absolute shyte.
football & in particular half back, is about skills. Mostly natural skills.
& Kimmorley has very limited natural ability. he cannot pass, he cannot kick & he is slow.
He makes up for his complete lack of talent with good career management, tenacity & courage.
He has made a career out being Mr consistent with his style of play, that will enable teams to completely remove the thinking process. They just do the same ole plays time & time again. Its a war of numbers with Kimmorly. Try the same thing 20 times, it bound to pay off on the 21st time. And it probably does. But that wont get your team anywhere in the finals series. Once the other teams stup up in the finals, Kimmorleys style & lack of talent is left floundering.

I'd be worrying about having a team in 2011 if I were you.

i'd be worried about not making the finals & being so far over the salary cap if i were you.
How humiliating it would be for us to make the finals & your mega squad to fail once again.

I reckon pomm will have a good year in the centres.
If he plays on the right he may have a good year, if he plays on the left he will have a terrible year. I am very convinced his handling issues are based on the fact he has a very right sided physical bias, hence his laft hand being the main catch point does not work well, this fend where right handers use the left hand to fend does not suit the left side either.

He had a good game for City playing right centre.

I'm not going to bite. I just never knew how many goons there were hear.

But I guess for a team that's been around for so long and have won f**k all, you need a scapegoat don't you? Kimmorley is it I take it.
