Clarifying the Misi thing

[Alan Shore]

It was said after the Canberra semi that the club would be giving him a one-year contract extension.

Has/is it happening or not? If not why not? He's fast, agile, elusive, has a go and is bloody tough.

He is also rank average. I love his passion and work rate but thats all he brings to the table. Blake Ferguson looks a better prospect, and Orcher could play there, or that Wright bloke from penrith...you get the point

 

[downo14]

i've heard he's off to Souths, you heard it here first

 

[Frederick]

He was your best player out there on Friday night. Why Covell would be given a contract ahead of him is beyond me...

 

[Inferno]

Probably because he's been our most consistent back over the last few seasons, and is a fairly good sharpshooter to boot (pun not intended)

 

[Stonecutter]

The article said "Set to sign" as long as we don't pay overs and the club doesn't have any imminent plans to secure a better back then I reckon we should keep him.

 

[Xsharks]

and he's got a bloody good right hander!

too much speed work - not enough weights

 

[always a raider]

Plus he's a grub, fits in nicely at the sharks.

 

[cb4]

souths for 2 years im pretty sure of it

The name's Misi, Misi Telyapapa...

 

[Dave Q]

My mail is that we have been in talks with him for at least a month.

We need someone like him.

Covell would be my pick.

 

[Special K]

Todays paper said he was going to resign this week and how he had not thought of losing and how excited he was to tell his parents he would be in a gf.

Souths probably have a better deal for him but he is a very popular member of the side and that could make him stay.

 

[Vossy]

the masons say he is going to re-sign with us, further proof in todays paper that his contract renewal has been rubber stamped..

 

[Different kind of Rabbit]

Souths were the only team to make him an offer, until about a week ago when Cronulla decided they wanted to extend him for another year. Neither of the offers were massive, its just that he thought Cronulla didn't want him. Looks like he is staying put.

 

[cb4]

i still dont get y he and cov both only got 1 year deals

 

[sharks8601]

cause the club will want to go after some good backs next year

 

[Vossy]

i still dont get y he and cov both only got 1 year deals

ross comes off contract next year, which means more money will be available to give Covell a better deal, which he deserves

 

[cb4]

so upgrade cov n buy new backs
why not just punt ross now

 

[samshark]

Probably because we would need a club to pick up his $400k contract and no one wants to pay that.:crazy:
