Maloney to sharks.

[Weaponhead]

Lets stop assuming and wait to see what positions lyle picks

Uncle Sad, do your thang with that quote.

 

[Avenger]

Top signing. Well done.

 

[Since 73]

lyle?

 

[shaggs]

lyle?

Don't you mean 3-o key-o??

He got us the major sponsor like he said he would. He signed Maloney. The former king is now the shark king.

 

[Since 73]

Spelling woz the problim.

Lyall.

 

[possum]

So tell me, what about Moloney.

 

[eddiesmith]

I like the Maloney signing, sure it is a typical Sharks signing at the end of a career, but he is a big improvement on what we have now and we needed a replacement for Carney.

Whilst age is an issue with a lot of our squad, we seem to have some very good young players coming through so experience is important now to achieve a good mix whilst the younger players learn and hopefully keep us in the top 8 sides each year. Then by the time the older blokes retire we will either steal a premiership on the way or be very well placed to win one with the next generation being experienced and in their prime.

The biggest thing is they don't throw too much money at the top up players so we can actually keep the youngsters when they are worth more

He's 28. :lol:

 

[Special K]

He is 29 but only debuted at 23 and will come off contract at 32. Not a lot of miles on the legs and a proven winner.

we have a very young backline, having a winner at 6 in his early 30's isn't a bad thing. He will be our leader

 

[THE MESSIAH !!!]

I agree signing Maloney will add class and experience and help younger players Holmes/Bird/Gagan.

We also would be looking at another 3-4 players hopefully coming through system in next couple of years.

We could be very well placed

All true. For me its about who we pair him with.

Chad has become a solid half with the warriors but put the two of them together and I'm sure we will see quite a few dour games. Maloney does shine creatively, but he can (often this year) play well but nothing special.

Bird gotta be given a dozen games as a centre. He is going great guns at 5/8 but being young he panics and makes some crazy decisions too often. Bird paired with Maloney could work but would always wonder how would he go at centre...

By next year Bird will have another dozen games under his belt, i could see the backline as

1. Barba
2. Holmes
3. Beale
4. Gagan/Bird
5. Feki/Gagan
6. Bird/ Brown.n
7. Maloney

 

[The Dodger]

nu brown should be the half next year.
maloney at 5/8
chad in nsw cup as a back up.
bird in the centres or second row, i would be putting him at lock.

Chad will be ecstatic. Holmes won't be thrilled either.

Gagan coming off an ACL injury! Nu Brown too.

More likely. Not my choice, but what I think Flanno would go with.

1. Barba
2. Felipe
3. Beale
4. Bird
5. Holmes
6. Maloney
7. Townsend

Nu Brown bench. Gagan Reggies.
