Great news!

Good stuff Jim!! Saw the headline and wondered who and all four were names I was hoping to read. Hope Vete also gets the same treatment, any idea when he's contracted til?

Great signing.

Really looking forward to seeing Sipley get his break, when the time comes.

 

[Iron Lion]

Sipley will be worth his weight in gold in a couple of seasons

 

[One Warrior]

Well done Warriors and Jim Doyle, great news.

 

[SpaceMonkey]

So (Assuming Vete also gets an extension) thats our propping stocks sorted I think- I wouldn't be chasing any big $$ front rowers now. As far as recruitment goes #6 is probably still our most obvious target position, a solid, experienced partner for SJ would still be invaluable. Every other position looks fairly well covered now.

 

[Rebel]

Shipley will play first grade next year fo sho

 

[Iafeta]

Excellent re-signs for sure. All three are outstanding talents. Hopefully Vete is under lock and key soon as well.

Man or gains and losses over the course of 2015 are looking awesome.

out:
Tomkins
Rapira
Matangi
Neilsen
(probably) Townsend

In or blooded and locked up:
RTS
Luke
Lisone
Kata
Lolohea
Wright
Sipley (assumning he goes as well as we think he will)

Every one of the losses bar Townsend has been replaced by player who is younger and (at least on current form) significantly better- I included Jonno Wright there too because even he has proven to be a significant upgrade on Neilsen (who we appear to have dodged a bullet with by releasing when we did).

 

[Rhyno]

Kata is going to be a great center

 

[RHYTHM AND STEALTH]

great signings but doyle has been the best signing for shore

Totally, without him how many of those guys would we have?

 

[RHYTHM AND STEALTH]

i was just thinking if this was scurrah he would of called a press release to anounce the signings of 4 more jerseys lol

 

[SpaceMonkey]

On the subject of jerseys I was happy to see that the women in league special at least kept to a largely black colour scheme- I don't mind special jerseys do much of they keep with the club colours, that way when you get a big crowd in team gear it'll still look like a recognisable sea of our fans. The dragons and dogs do that really well with their colours.

Great news!

Fantastic news, all quality youngsters

Doyle for PM

Jim's on fire

 

[Fufu Andronez]

This is awesome news! I can't remember us really losing anyone that we actually desperately wanted to keep in the past few seasons or even overall?

If they do cut the interchange, these younger, more mobile players are just what we need.
