Felix and Barba

[Miller was a legend]

being reported negotiations are underway for Felix to head north in 2020 with Barba back to Sharks.

 

[carcharias]

So in other words
Some bloke just made up a story from scratch

 

[Eion]

It’s the same 2+2=5 that’s been going on in here for weeks.

Could be right but.

 

[taipan]

The most important question to ask.What is Danny Weidler hearing?

 

[sandshark]

I still think he is gone.

Sorry for your loss.

 

[Inferno]

I think the more important question is if this happens are we better off swapping a year early?

We'll get more value out of Barba that way, you would expect the first year of his contract would be the cheapest.

Also how many players who have signed with another club a year out have had a blinder in their final year?

I don't think we'll be the only club after Barba if he has a blinder of a season. Need to keep Kennedy incase we f**k up and end up with none.

Seeing as Val can’t even negotiate until November sounds like a load of shit and that a so called journo (f**k em they’re more like bloggers these days) is reporting a possible scenario that MAY occur as news.

 

[chewsta]

If Val wins us another GF in a couple of weeks then he has my blessings to go.

Or get Birdy back and Val might even stay.

 

[jc155776]

Val won a Comp playing great for us.

He played his way into first grade, scored a tonne of tries and delivered when it counted in 2016.

I don’t feel like he owes the sharks anything to be honest.

Anyone in that 2016 team can do whatever they wish and I’d wish them good luck.

Unless it’s going to the dragons. f**k those guys.

When bird left for big dollars I felt the same, i was thankful, not angry.

To tell youse the truth I am all over this shit. Players signing with clubs 18months out.
The clubs and them (the players) or their parasite Managers are just shitting all over us mug supporters. It is happening within all the clubs and it stinks to high heaven.

Really you don't follow a club anymore you follow a money making business.

I think the crowd numbers are indicitive of how the game is heading.

Call me a cynic but post 2016 I am at the stage where I really couldn't give two fharks anymore.

Psssts I hope we win.

 

[Frenzy.]

It’s done. They have the same manager.

As if November means anything. TPAs, contracts, backflips blah, blah, blah. All
processes which are in essence toothless tigers.

 

[myrrh ken]

Why go backwards up there?

 

[bad boy bubby]

Personally I have no problem with Val signing up there, but if the swap is for real just do it for next season and let it go.

Id much prefer to keep Val long term, but if thats just not possible, then I agree with this...

Though it does feel like we're being held over a barrel by the players agency. It feels to me like they've done this Barba deal this way to try and force us into agreeing to swap a year early, because at the end of 2019 it's not a swap anyway as both players are free agents.

 

[Differ To The Coifed]

Flanno won’t let him go for next year unless he needs the cap gap to fund another acquisition.

Players hold all the cards Mr Quigs. Can pretty much do what they like.

 

[snout]

The dots are all there to join.

Be more surprised if it dont happen.

 

[ghoti]

Yeah if there's even a chance of Holmes playing despite knowing he's leaving, do the swap asap. Even though it's a weaker competition over there, Barba is the most dominant player over there and the form player in the world right now...get him while he's hot and full of confidence. He's only two seasons out of our systems too.

We need the extra spine experience now really, and having three(ish) seasons of him helps us with a succession plan (or lets us wait for Holmes to get Townsville bored and come back to us when he gets this outta his system, if it isn't just media trash).

Loving Holmes improvement, bit if he really wants to go, let him imo and bring in Barba whole he wants to make amends
