Cronulla resigned to losing Kade Snowden to Newcastle Knights with Nathan Tinkler tak

[blacktip-reefy]

The club should be looking at these players right now.
Sione Kite
Jesse Bromwich
Arona(debuted for Roosters on weekend)
Murdoch Masala
JAcob Lilyman(he is absolutely massive after throwing on 10kgs in the offseason.

All of these guys could be suitable replacements & despite their huge frames are all very mobile.

 

[carcharias]

adam blair or bust

 

[Special K]

Blair would be phenomenal but if we don't have the coin for Kade I don't see us getting near his asking price.

 

[blacktip-reefy]

Blair is not what we need for the price. he's not even the best at Melbourne, with Bromwhich & manu ahead of him

 

[cb4]

Wasnt't it Bromwich and Kite earlier in the year Reef?

 

[carcharias]

imagine gards running off Blair.

 

[blacktip-reefy]

Wasnt't it Bromwich and Kite earlier in the year Reef?

If you have a price point then Bromwhich certainly offers better value than Blair. IMO Kite is also a better purcahse than blair as he has massive potential. You could get both for less than blair. Manu IMO is harder than Blair.

 

[cb4]

I liked Kite at the dogs, but his knees will ensure he has a short lived career.
Bromwhich and Proctor and Manu shouldd all be looked at.

 

[carcharias]

blair has the freakish ability to catch and pass a football , sometimes in unison........something we seriously lack amongst our forwards.

Knees can be fixed these days. Look at Tate Crocker Bowen etc. But i'm not sure if his knees are as big an issue as you are making out. My bet is that he will be at the dogs next year or possibly Titans.

Lillyman impressed me last week. I thought I was watching a different Lillyman to the one I'd watched a few times before. Improved substantially.

In the likely event that we have lost Snow, I hope the club doens't do anything silly like drop him for the rest of the season. This is the way that modern day football now works.

What is more crucial of course is that the speculation has been known for sometime, so I will be most disappointed if we don't already have a replacement.

 

[carcharias]

won't be dropped.

It is like when you have a hot girlfriend you know will eventually dump you.
You don't stop banging her before the end ...do you?

 

[Russell Crowe's Band]

hell no

you cant drop a plsayer of his calibre anyway.

need to wrap up our other off contract fowards and bring in one or 2 more

 

[blacktip-reefy]

ha. You do double time

 

[DJShaksta]

Yeah like Reefy said - you do her double time and film it. You hit that $h1t till she can't walk.

When all this started my anger got the best of me and I was very parochial in calling for him to be dumped. This would not help us this year.
But as has already been said - we better have been investigating possible replacements already.

 

[carcharias]

we are always keeping an eye out for replacements.

 

[Dragon Slayer]

Promote from within for next season.

The talent is there.

Spend the money on a young half to replace Tim Smith and Scott Porter.

And buy some backs!

 

[The Dodger]

if we didn't drop fergo last year then we definitely will not be dropping snowden this year.

 

[The Popper]

Different set of circumstances IMO. Bighead gave us the flick, whereas Snowden didn't. If we'd acted in a different manner initially we'd have him signed, sealed and delivered. Didn't happen. I'd say our leaders have learned from this.
