Lewis signs with Sharks

[eloquentEEL]

But Jennings is happy @ Panthers. Just ask him. Lol

 

[Special K]

My question is is that Bukuya off contract because whenever i watch a sharks game this year he has been one of there best players, go after him...

Nope he is under contract for next year.

 

[eloquentEEL]

Oh, and Graham is the one we really should've gone after.

 

[Ratchy]

So there back row could be:
11. Lewis
12. Smith
13. Gallen.


Pretty impressive..

I reckon Smith will be off to Newcastle.

 

[Parraren]

We did.

He didn't want to come, similar to most players SK tried to recruit this year...:?

 

[Barry O'Speedwagon]

The sharkies signed him for 4 years ! He will be 34 when he finishes.

I think you need to do some maths revision. He's currently 28, and turns 29 this August. So he'll just turn 33 at the end of his last season with Sharks.

Anyway, the Sharkies have some magic power to change the age of their players (check out J. Smith).

 

[Poupou Escobar]

I'm sure the people at the eels who tried to sign him know a bit more than all you nevilles on an Internet forum.

They knew what he was worth and didn't offer any more than that?

Good on them.

 

[forward pass]

At least we had a crack at Lewis and missed out. That's life.

I get more disappointed with players that have been looking for new clubs and we didn't even bother eg Todd Carney, Michael Gordon etc.

You may be right but well it's only our opinion but judging on some of the past recruitment you would have to say that the track record isn't pretty flash.. But I'm happy to acknowledge that I don't know shit.

That's ok Fathead. I was just channeling Poupou Escobar.

Positives:
Luke Lewis is a great player "sometimes".

Negatives:
His age
Was sacked as captain so he is not seen as a leader.
Twice has wanted out of contracts. (Souths and Penrith)
Couldnt lift Penrith from second last on the table.
Seems to be very injury prone now days.

I for one am happy we didnt waste money on this guy.

Apart from all that.

I thought Cronulla were broke. Lol.

 

[Gronk]

Lewis signed with Sharks because of their squad strength and their ability to win a comp before he retires.

<sigh>

NRL News &#8207;@nospam09 Lewis says: "FOr next 6-8 weeks, my heart and soul will be with the Panthers. Stoked to be coming next year. Players are outstanding."

NRL News &#8207;@nospam09 Lewis says: "Wade was at my bridal party & has been a good mate of mine. I believe they have the players & direction, to win a GF."

No offense was taken champ ! Better days will return.

So let's death-ride the merkin for all he's worth. I'm on the Sharks to win this year and then I hope they don't win another one until Lewis retires.

It worked for Craig Field and Brett Finch.

finch won a * with the storm

 

[Miller was a legend]

Look at their 'reserve' back-row....

11. Tupou
12. Bukuya
13. Graham

Doesn't make alot of sense why you'd pay Lewis $450k odd per year in a position you are more than well covered in. I would have been chasing Jennings if I were them...

Who says we're not chasing Jennings?
Who saying Gal will stay in the Back Row?

Bukuya is contracted and Tupou took up a one year option. Neither are going anywhere.

Front Row rotation could see Gal, Gibbs and Ross. Plus Fafita.

 

[Miller was a legend]

I think we hired the storm accountant. lol

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Plus you're obviously saving heaps of money in the backs.

 

[barney gumble]

He would've been a good replacement for Hindmarsh, a void that won't be filled by our current mob. Not to be though, which was to be expected.
