Whilst at the time I was not majorly dissapointed that Dykes signed with the Sharkies I now have begun feeling a little empty. I suppose it was because I was hanging onto the hopes of the rumour floating around about the swap with Kimmorley. It has been said time and time again but the team most definately looks light on in the halfs. Not good.

The Sharkies now have plenty of depth in this area. Would be nice to be in that situation. Kimmorley, Dykes, Sullivan & Bird to name a few. Not all will get a run at the club for obvious reasons.

Therefore I believe that if the Kimmorley signing was likely to happen it would be after this weekends game against them. It would be the right thing to do you would guess before making any announcement (just like what Dykes did - NOT). Anyways heres hoping or is this nothing but a ridiculous rumour. Has anyone heard through there sources whether we have even a glimmer of hope of getting him to the club.

Wishful thinking eel supporter. :?: :? :? :? :?:

GAME FIRST was clutching at straws I think you'll find dazeely and about as credible as those that reported the WMD's. A rumour of this size would have cropped up in the paper or on Sports Tonight at the very least.

Sorry Dazeely but you should have known better to not believe Game First in the first place. He is an idiot and the fact that he gets fan's (such as yourself) hopes up and then shatters them shows what an inconsiderate fool he is. Don't for a second think that Cronulla are going to release Kimmorley. They have no reason to at all.

Guys my source is 100% correct that we inquired and spoke to kimmorley directly but obviuosly nothing has come of that - it doesnt mean i was not truthful as i repeat that it was an impeccable source and i do get excited so all you guys know but id rather inform you than to keep quiet when i know the info is to be fact- Kimmorley was enquired about did talk to us-we were obviuosly desperate for a half and we had a shot at it-the media not knowing Colonel is irrelevant- they didnt know Firman was gone to the roosters until he signed up for 3 years all suddenly after being released a day prior- you cannot say the media knew that the roosters were already chatting behind closed doors-which they were until a later piont in time!

The media also doesnt really know that Smithy gave Lyon a big verbal after the ist bulldogs match this year and nearly made him cry!!
And that is fact my friends and yet the media still do not know !!!!

GF - there are lots of things that the media don't publish - doesn't mean they don't know them, however something like Kimmorley seeking a release would have been front page. As I said the credibility of yourself and your sources are up there with the guys who said there were Weapons of Mass Destruction......

:roll: :roll: :roll:

You've been wrong countless times in the past. Next time you hear a "fact" I suggest you keep it to yourself, we'll all be better off that way.

It's always a big risk posting rumours on here you really put your reputation on the line. When I scooped the chat with Smithy a couple of months ago I never thought he would name the players he was targeting! but he did and was very open about it.

However there's been plenty here I could of posted but didn't for obvious reasons!!

I don't doubt we probably approached Kimmorley as a swap for Dykes. Maybe, Dykes and Cronulla went and told Parra Management about their intentions and Fitzy went oh then howabout we talk abt Kimmorley.

About this anti-tampering thing, closer to home, MC mentioned something a PJ and Parra. Parra I guessed knew something was happening with PJ and the Warriors and probably held talks with him, probably UNOFFICIAL talks.

And the Armit brothers. It said somewhere that the doggies having been looking at chris for a while now (probably with the help of Bobcat and Tonga). I guess the Dogs went to Dennis and said "Thinking abt releasing Chris at all?" coz I don't think Denis would be broadcasting to the world, CHris is up for grabs, anyone interested?? Now, the Dogs must've talked to Armit's manager so would this be Anti-tampering? IF denis said, go ahead speak to the him, then I guess it would be ok. SO if Cronulla said to denis, go ahead speak to him, then I guess it would not be antitampering.

I know there are alot of PROBABLES in my statements but they could've happenned.

I really wonder if there is a www.playersmkt.ebay.com for buying and selling player's contracts.

Other Clubs would have to get permission form the current club,before they speak to a player 1st. Fitzy would have asked Brian Smith if he wanted to release Armitt to the dogs and Smith would have said yes. Thats the way it works.

I think it's unlikely Sharks will part with Kimmorley, and playing alongside him may have been an attraction for Dykes. But I agree it's likely that they won't keep both Sullivan and Bird.... Sullivan woul dbe handy in that PJ-bench-half-hooker type of role for sure. I don't see Bird as any better than Witt, but I guess we'll see on Saturday!

So Ray Hadley is the source then???

GAME FIRST you gotta realise the guy just makes things up.....

Oh and re: Lyons; it was IN the papers that Jamie had decided to give up while he was on the bus on the way to the Bulldogs game because of "personal issues" between him and his partner (miscarriage?) - so whether or not he actually cried has nothing to do with the decision - in fact it makes it more likely that he took the verbal hard on the back of bad news....

Your problem is that you state EVERYTHING you EVER post as a fact and cenrtainty....I don't give rats who your sources are - they are obviously 1st class bullshitters and I would have thought u would have learnt by now not to go off every time you hear a stupid rumour......nothing pisses me off more in life than people who talk like they know it all but infact know nothing.

Game First you own a Dreamcast!!!





....then again my own personal sources told me Kimmorley was an 80% chance of being an Eel, but Since Dykes has returned its very doubtful he will leave now that he has a decent 5/8 with him!
