Albert Kelly signs with Sharks

[lewiscook]

I whole heartedly agree that we should sign him, but would hayne say, no please wait?

Hayne is fast becoming my favourite player like many before him, the players I like leave.

I was so glad I liked Brett Finch.

Hahaha.
Hayne i feel is our ticket to a premiership within the next few years.
He has almost got a freddy, joey like aurah surrounding him.

 

[cgee221]

no, but approaching them would be a good start...btw I don't think the sharks paid 150K for him.



well Rod Reddy should be expanding his talent identification skills to the NYC competition rather than then country and remote areas of Queensland and New Zealand..

just a thought.

Not only the NYC competition Stagger, but there is still a lot of talent running around the Parramatta district competition that other clubs are signing players from. There are a number of players running around in other NYC teams who played all their junior rugby league with Parramatta District clubs and still live in the Parramatta Rugby League Areas.

Jamie Buhrer as an example played all his junior football with Hills District and Matts/Ball with Parra, wasn't offered a contract with Parra beyond that and Manly NYC snapped him up. He's now their captain and they're the NYC competition leaders.

I agree whole heartedly with your comments, the talent identification needs to be expanded.

By the end of next year Hayne will most likely have played another full Origin Series (possibly staring at fullback), and may have played a series of tests for Australia. If this happens, you could see the predictable line of "I have achieved all I wanted to achieve in League..."

If Karmichael Hunt can make close to $1million a year playing Union in Japan, I imagine Hayne may want the money.

My only hope is that he resigns for two more seasons and chases the money in his late 20's. I would HATE to lose him

After our Cayless/Hindy era, Hayne, KK, Mateo, Inu and Mannah are players we need to build our team around. I hope they become a Johns/Buderous/Gidley/Simpson type players who ever leave unless the go to england for a retirement payout.

 

[btaag]

Pointless to base our future on a player that is looking at Union. Maybe for this year and next. We could always pay him $500k

 

[yy_cheng]

:lol:

But Sadly, some of my favourites were:

Jamie Lyon
Timana Tahu
Tim Smith

Now:

Hayne, Mateo and FFMM.


Oh and Brett Finch was the player I liked to bag.

the problem with Buhrer is that he had Anthony Mitchell in front of him and really didn't get much of a run in the junior reps.

They are 3 of my favourites as well, i will be upset if we lose any of them.

Johns look at Union and was gone for all money, Thurston, Slater, Hunt and Grothe. Union I think have realised that NRL converts arnt what they need, they are big, fast and more athletic but tactically are very poor. Tiquri and Tahu are on the outter plus Cross is more a backup player, its obvious they arn't looking for league converts anymore IMO. England are trying to move away from picking alot of NRL players, RU in Japan and France are having problems with money now...

I think we will find more players staying in league TBH, Hayne will be with us for probably the next 5 years atleast and maybe more. We will have him in his prime along with guys like Inu, Mateo and KK. We should be able to push for a premiership in the next few year IMO.

 

[btaag]

I hope so - Hayne should talk to Lote Tuquiri and see how much atmosphere 200 West Harbour fans make on a rainy saturday afternoon of Grade Rugby.... :- )

 

[1 Eyed TEZZA]

Amazing, 20 pages about someone who hasnt played first grade yet. When was the last time that happened here?

Oh I forgot another one: Dean Widders.


SO Hayne to Union, Mateo to Doggies.


Well at least FFMM is still here


My new faves are Lowrie, TT, Huaraki.

How do you know if Hayne will stay? Do we know anything about his money antics or his loyalty? No?

you mean, do you know anything ?

when Hayne re signed, he and Inu allegedly signed for less money than they were offered elsewhere

Hayne offer allegedly came from the bunnies

 

[benkustosgrandmother]

At Kelly's at his size could be as talented as Inglis (and he isnt) and i wouldn't care about losing him. Everytime i have seen Kelly play he shows the tell tale signs of a erratic, inconsistent but very talented player.

 

[sooperdooper]

good riddance to kelly... he should now be put into the wenty team and shouldnt see the light of day in an eels jersey again.
we do to much for these kids just to get dirt kicked in our face.....

so gardner and rodney are gone too?

 

[strider]

interestingly, Seymour has today been given the arse by the Sharks ... coincidence?

Cronulla Sharks sack halfback Seymour

http://www.smh.com.au/leaguehq/articles/2009/07/01/1246127575171.html

Cronulla halfback Brett Seymour has been sacked following an alcohol-related incident, his third breach of the NRL club's policy this year.
Seymour was shown the door just months after being fined and suspended for two matches after being caught on camera heavily intoxicated.
The 24-year-old playmaker had previously been shown the door by Brisbane following a string of alcohol-related incidents.
His rugby league career now hangs in the balance after the NRL said it would not consider registering a new contract for Seymour at another club at the current time.
"Whilst it was not in the high range of offences it is compounded by the number of previous incidents," Sharks chief executive Richard Fisk said.
"It is important that a clear message is sent to all that the Sharks have strict rules and codes of conduct and that they must be adhered to, not just by the players but by all at our club."
NRL chief executive David Gallop supported Cronulla's strong stance.
"... It is also in the interests of the image of every player in the game and every club that there are some clear boundaries," Gallop said.
"Certainly in the case of Brett the NRL would need to be convinced that it was in both the player's best interests and the game's best interests that he move to another club and our current view is that Brett would not be accepted for registration for some time."
