Nobody has ever seen Lichaa play before,some random hobo in the middle of nowhere said he was a good player so the whole Rugby League community just went with it

Is pretty short sighted, especially considering how f**king old many of Cronulla's better players are and how much they've struggled with players struggling to stay fit this year.

If he plays well though he adds a bit, and who knows just how good Licha ends up. May end up kicking themselves though

The sharks only signed Ennis because lichaa had already moved on. Hardly a f**kin swap.

Could work in Cronulla's favour though, stranger things have happened.

The rookie could falter under pressure and expectation especially when the Dogs don't have another noted hooker to rotate him with (correct me if i'm wrong)

The experience of Ennis (even though he can be a plodder) could do wonders for the Sharks.

We'll never know until we see it.

Sharks expected to announce Ennis signing this week.
http://m.smh.com.au/rugby-league/league-news/michael-ennis-to-finish-his-career-with-the-cronulla-sharks-20140617-zsawp.html

Michael Ennis, 30 years old, absolute rubbish and career form in decline.

Michael Lichaa, 20 years old, great potential and one of the best young hookers in the game.

Sharks have been dudded big time.

Bulldogs offered outrageous money for a young hooker, who at the time had played 1 first grade game. I would have liked the Sharks to keep him but can understand letting him go.

We have also resigned Fa'amanu Brown - young half selected by Samoa, Valentine Holmes - Our NYC leading tryscorer, Wade Graham - Young, established player recently brought into Origin camp to gain experience, and Andrew Fifita.

If the Sharks want to go with the dad's army approach then power to them...

15th - Sharks
16th - Knights

Coincidence? I think not.

Maybe Ennis really likes travel, and he's just getting in early before the Sharks get relocated following announcement of their ASADA penalties?

Exactly. Everyone paying out the Sharks!!! The way this thread has been started you would of thought it was a trade. The Sharks did not want to let lichaa go and so then Sharks had to replace him with someone so they signed Innes.

It's not rocket science!!!

What an idiotic op. You make it sound like the Sharks did the deal willingly. Like they locked Lichaa in a one way taxi to Bankstown. Lichaa chose to leave. Koroisau would rather be a backup in Penrith than a first choice in Cronulla. The only hooker that wanted them was Ennis. They didn't make this swap because they wanted to. They had no other choice.

Bingo, we are also planning on using him to groom a replacement for when he finishes up, just like the dogs were hoping to have Lichaa be mentored by Ennis. That has gone out the window for them now.

You know your batlling when you get called an idiot by Gosford's first Officer MENSA.
It might not have been a direct and preorganised swap but for all intents and purposes it is essentially a swap. Look very closely Bunniesman, this is for you:

BULLDOGS:
OUT: Ennis
IN: Lichaa

SHARKS:
OUT: Lichaa
IN: Ennis

Do you see the correlation there?

His dad rates him... Just ask him.

I'm ok with this swap as I reckon Lichaa will be a flop.
