Josh Hannay spent a year in reserves for us yet refused to go.

.

Hannay looked like a gun at the cows just add him to the long list of players who's career went to sh|t once they joined the sharks

Don't buy into Reef's theories of Jimmy dropping his bundle because he dudded himself at his last contract negotiation. Too much of a professional and wouldn't risk his rep future by dogging it. While I'd like us to retain and extend Jimmy for another year.... the lure of a huge contract over a longer period than we are prepared to sign him for might see him move on. At least we know that the Sharks are now smart enough to only allow him to leave should we get a suitable player swap. At the end of the day we are in a strong bargaining position having an in demand player on a contract that is well in our favor.

As usual it's hard to understand what you're suggesting as most of your posts are written in riddles....contain conspiracy theories.....and contain bias either in favor or against certain players. Your last two posts appeared to suggest that Jimmy wouldn't give his best to the Sharks because he was/is underpaid.

Its crystal clear then that things need to be S p E l l e d o u t s l o w l y.
I (IMO) believe, that the Sharks will not be able to meet an offer that WILL be made, from an entity, that "wont be far king around ". Therefore, I believe, that after the Sharks have found a suitable replacement (Cody walker, Moylan, Et Al) they will release him for 2018.

Matt Moylan....Penrith junior signed till the end of 2021.....pipe-dream.
Cody Walker.....Can be brilliant but can be a liability e.g last week.
My question would be why should we rush into finding a replacement for Jimmy while he is contracted for the next 18 months? Let him sign his big final deal elsewhere but why should we take a downgrade because we assume he won't give his best for us in 2018. He's on the same coin now.....is he dogging it?

I'd rather a disgruntled Maloney over Cody Walker all day long.

Coach "Player, why didn't you put your body on the line? You let that 130kg front rower score, now we cant make the semi's!"
Player " Well, I'm ok to go to another club"

It doesnt matter if they or don't. The only things that matter are the perception & the mental state of the player. How did Moses go in last few games , just a few weeks ago. I thought he tried hard. But he was awful. & then he got pillored by the media. If the player asks for a release, there is nothing to gain for the residing club in retaining the player. All they can do is negotiate the best possible outcome for themselves, prior to releasing the player.

There is a lot to gain by retaining one of the best playmakers in the game. Moses was released AFTER the tigers secured a decent replacement and AFTER the tigers season already became a write off.

Maloney has just about secured himself a berth in the remainder of the SOO games this year. I would think the lure of playing next year as well as the extra 120K, as well as securing his next contract will be enough of a motivation for him to put in every week. He's not on minimum wage ffs, he's still on what 4, 5 times the average wage?

So listening to you clowns, this is how our club operates.
Maloney gets an offer that blow EVERYbODY out of the water in the offseason. Thats not a matter of IF, it's definitely coming.
Sharks look at contrat & say, we got nothing to worry about, we got him to end of 2017!!!1 high fives all round in the recruitment room.
Maloney & manager get message wanted year earlier at ne money level. Maloney says, "Nah, Im contracted
Im on good money, I dont need or want more. Cronulla will do the right thing, as all clubs always do."

RIGHTIOOO then!!!!

The smart clubs operate in the best interests of the club firstly while taking into consideration the players' welfare and well-being. For example.....while I'm not that wrapped at the prospect of losing Loots to the Tits.... that's on compassionate grounds and is totally understandable given his situation. If Jimmy wants a release to earn the extra coin in the final year of a contract that he willingly signed less than two years ago.....different story. I am wrapped that the Sharks no longer manage our affairs on a par with the Tigers......shambles of a club.

I refuse to get involved in a debate about Maloney from an article in the paper quoting his f**king manager. He is contracted to 2018 and he will receive an offer and probably an upgrade (it's the smart thing to do in this case) for next year.
