Darren Albert

[island pro]

despite early doubts, the sharks pack for next year is looking ok. our backs however, are still a big concern. Recently cronulla confirmed they were concidering Albert as a potential signing for next season, and Albert has also expressed his desire to return to the NRL, and says the sharks would be a great place to sign. the deal is a long way from done but what do people think... do we like the sound of that? i sure do... speed to burn

 

[blacktip-reefy]

only the act its 3 years late.
I have always been a proponent of getting Alberts.

 

[blacktip-reefy]

And stop using those stupid icons on your thread titles Aries.
you know, the question mark.

 

[The Whippet]

The Sharks should let the Whippet return home.

There is no doubt he misses playing for his former club, with his goal always to be play for the Sharks as a youngster.

No doubt if he came back and got a few games under his belt he would be a top buy. Imagine Brett Howland and Luke Covell on the flanks.

Whippet , are you mrs howland?
Probably not, she is a very cranky person.

I am imagining that and it is not good!

Probably in my worst nightmares. The only time those pair would be in a team together it would be in PL.

Any news on the Darren Albert thing? I would love you guys to sign him. Currently scoring bags of tries outside Jamie Lyon.

 

[Munky]

Howland has been great for Penrith this year.

Why he gets dropped instead of Galea or Franze is a mystery.

 

[gavin_miller]

I rate howland. I am pretty sure his last game for us was maybe a semi final against brisbane in brisbane?he had that cast-like thing on his arm...I think it was the game russ richo dropped the ball over the line like a moron...and I remember whippet playing his ass off for us even though he'd been let go for the next year...he is quick still and tough for a little guy and never ever smiles...

 

[madunit]

theres an article, albeit very brief, on him being linked very heavily with the Sharks for next seaso, in todays telegraph i think.

There's also an article on sully pissing off to warrington next season, and another about ben ross getting $350k per year for 4 years at the sharks.

 

[kevdude]

might be a bit old

The Sharks are kidding, they offload Merritt and sign Howland. Just goes to show how much our top end know about footy. They're a disgrace.

 

[Sheros los Deros]

Albert is experienced and knows his way to the tryline. A bit old perhaps, but probably not a bad signing.

What's Jamie Lyon up to? Does he want to stay in England? He'd be a good option for our centre spot. Is he still planning on going to Manly?

Darren Albert[/font] [font=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Date of birth: 28-02-76[/font] [font=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Height: 5' 11” [/font] [font=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Weight: 91kg [/font] [font=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Darren has quietly established himself as one of Super League's most valuable overseas stars since his debut against Oldham in February 2002. A prolific tryscorer – Darren has scored 75 tries in just 109 appearances for Saints (to April 2005), as well as 65 tries in 89 games for his previous club, Newcastle Knights – Albert was officially named ‘Fastest Man in Rugby League' in 2004. [/font]

[font=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Albert was named in the Tetley's Super League Dream Team in 2002.[/font]

[font=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]He signed a contract extension in May 2005 that will keep him at Knowsley Road until the end of 2007.


[/font]
[font=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif][/font]So the questions are, are the Sharks intending to buy Albert out and can we afford to anyway?

Telegraph says that Albert wants to leave for a final stint in the NRL and Rogers claims that the negotiations with St Helens are very 'amicable.'

I'd love to know how many £ he's on over there

 

[sydneysharkbrisbane68]

I watched the St Helens game against Hull, What i liked about Darren Albert, was his defence willingness to get involved in rucking ball out, he didnt get a chance to use his speed, in game, but looked bigger then he was last in australia
