Not sure where Stanley fits in but I'm happy with the Beale signing.

Beale is obvious shoe in for centre just not sure how he is defensively? Anyone know if Beale goes alright in this department?

A 3/4 combo of Beale and Bird would seem very solid with back ups of Leutele and Stanley

I'd have a go @ Dane Neilsen, I am sure he's on the move, read it somewhere. Better than both Stanley and Beale IMO

 

[King Ben]

Neilsen just signed with St. Merge.

 

[THE MESSIAH !!!]

I think this is good for us. He was off the pace.

It will be interesting, though, to see if we sign another prop.

The elephant in the room is that Gal should play prop (alongside Fifita), with Toops and Taga coming off the bench as 'prop rotation', so we can only hope the break (and training) served to harden up Flanno, so he makes the RIGHT decision!

Totally agree, you can resign Robinson for small coin in case we get injury, and also resign Sorenson & Siolo in backrow

 

[Snoop Shark]

Not sure what's happening with Dane but he is not half the player he was at the Storm

Nielsen only played ok when at Storm, with the all stars, did nothing at Cowboys not wanted

 

[TRIALS]

Being bored, I have looked up his career numbers. There is nothing classy about it. I'm a fan of his but he isn't what you are hoping he will be.
Maybe when our team is all on the park he might look a bit better, but he had the chance to stand up and make a name for himself this year and failed to deliver.

focus less on his career numbers and actually watch the kid play. Great defense. good footwork. would look alot different in a team capable of attacking football.

Just heard Flanno on the radio talking up Gardener of all people...

 

[southland]

Danes been sloppy the last two years avoid.

 

[madunit]

Gibbs has retired

 

[southland]

Wonder what Feki and Beale have been talking about during the 4 nations duties.... Possible 3 and 4 right there...

I'd go...
1) Gordon
2) Holmes
3) Feki
4) Beale
5) Gagan / M Brown

If Flan plays Brown in the back line lets hope he is at least on the wing... we can do better in the centres...

 

[bluefox1968]

Just heard Flanno on the radio talking up Gardener of all people...

Please? NSW cup only.

 

[ghoti]

Heard those quotes, he mentioned Gardner in a list of six players who were due to come back to training... would hardly call that being talked up

 

[southland]

Yeh yr right, he was just listed. Still stuck out that he got that mention..

 

[ghoti]

True, he's probably close to the least interesting person in that entire squad...

 

[madunit]

Can't believe so many of you guys are happy to give Leutele the arse.

Get that kid some decent ball and opportunities and he'll be great.

 

[SharkShocked]

Leutele represents the usual sharks culture in the fans and the difference to top teams is glaring.

Fans get all fluffy and excited and think player is the next prodigy.

Meanwhile other teams fans are getting excited about the ACTUAL next prodigy.

Take Gardner for example, almost public masturbation about how good he would be at the beginning.

Meanwhile you have Melbourne who are ACTUALLY watching Billy Slater run out week in week out.

Therein lies the difference between the players sharks fans get excited about compared to teams that go on to win the competition.

Ricky has a lot of potential, could be a good player.... more than likely not a 'great' player.

Swallow that mediocrity quickly.

Wasnt just sharks fans that got wet over Gardner... go back & look at what the media were like.

Further reinforces the point does it not?
