Watched a bit of the footy show last night & the segment on young Hopoate. He played state of origin at 18 or 19.

Some kids can mix it with the big boys.

Do the club read this site? Are they aware of the sentiment we all tend to share? Wouldn't hurt them to reach out in here and get some communication happening.

They wouldn't bother. If they did, they'd just label us as not 'True blue' Sharks fans anyway.

Nope. They do however get plenty of feedback from the official facebook and twitter accounts, where the feedback is generally far harsher than in here. They know the way the majority of supporters feel. They think we are all idiots with no grasp of the issues though.

If that's the case - a little bit of open dialog in relation to the issues they are facing and how they plan to go about resolving them would be appreciated.

Which idiots got us into this dire position where the sh!t flings from every direction??
Also, if we have "no grasp of the issues" this is because of the feel good, fluffy crap that spews from staff & players into the media & social network.

Yup.

But the truth is they are right. None of know our cap position or the deals done with player managers in the past that need to be honoured. None of us can speak with any authority, particularly about player movements.

I just found out the real reason why M Lichaa left. It's a convoluted and tangled web. Much more to it than him playing first grade.

i know that i know absolutely nothing about contracts and salary cap and have not pretended to.

its unfortunate Lichaa has left. given he is NSW U20's hooker and had good wraps.

We are a different breed to the facebook haters though. Most of the time we try and figure out whats going on and reasons behind things to a degree. Noyce should arrange a Q & A with some fans. Clubs in the Epl do it, Arsenal in particular. If those giant clubs can do it we should be looking at it. Great way to come up with new ideas and get a grip on how the fans feel.

Well according to some boring is good because these talented couple of kids we have lingering in lower grades need to have a team full of stars FFS even supercoach was going to give mamo a run this week if he didn't bang his knee at training yesterday. For those that don't know mamo, he is the knights NYC fullback...but what does Bennett know?

A player that stands out for me is Isaah Yeo from Penrith. Despite all their signings they are still prepared to throw a young kid from Dubbo in, who they think has a big future. And if he is as tough as his old man he will!
Now is the perfect time to give a young blike a game and see what he has got!

Has this been reported anywhere officially? I cant find anything official. I do believe it to be true. I was sat behind Lichaa's Dad at the trial. I reckon he was sat with a junior bulldog.

The Wade Graham to Roosters the same? Nothing anywhere. Surely he needs no ASADA breach notice before another club would give him a contract. They cannot know more about Wade's position than us. Can they?

I would have thought we were in the box seat unless he wants out.i don't think he does, but manager pressure and player drain cant be helping.

Do our best players want to spend their career alongside the likes of Prior and Jono?

That it may be Newms, and I'm sure it's a complicated situation.

But it does little to appease the fan base - who have seen us lose another promising youngster. One of the most promising who just happens to play a position we are extremely weak in.

You notice now older players in no rush to go to England they know the sharks will offer them one last contract, do not be surprised if Shillington gets signed by us
