Ma'Nonu to sign with Sharks

[bluemazda]

this is a rumour headed to belief does anyone know if this is happening as a polynesian centre wing star is being circled by the sharks

 

[The Nulla]

See the Leader thread pal

 

[Booyah]

I haven't heard anything.

 

[Quigs]

Hey Ive got nothing against Kiwis, Islanders what so ever, but have we got any white anglo saxons left in our squad.


Cheers
Quigs

 

[Alan Shore]

Could also mean Lesley Vainokolo if we're looking at the ESL for recruits.

Political correctness gone mad fatshark? btw Quigs does not drink water.

 

[The Nulla #2]

time to settle fatshark. chur chur

He certainly has a point with all the media coming out about cronulla signings being kiwi BRU

 

[Thomo.]

i find it hard to believe he will come to the sharks...a big change

 

[imasharkie]

Nothing like having multiple threads on this guy. Unfortunately all threads say basically the same and the 1st thread some time ago went down the same path. So we have 3 threads on him and not one of them states whether we signed him or not.

 

[Inferno]

I doubt we or any other club in the league would be able to afford him. That article about him a little while ago said if he was going to play league most likely he would end up in England. How much would he be on right now playing union, anyone know?

 

[Scott]

He is on around $100,000 at the moment. He is a fringe All Black. If fit and available, he will tour at the end of the year.

 

[PHaTMaN]

Where'd u get that figure from Scott?

Guessing without any idea?

I'd be surprised if thats all he's on.

Guys I think you will find they have signed one of two or maybe both kids from Auckland Grammar - a Rugby Union School.

They are 18, over 100 kgs and one of the boys broke a 35 year old record for the 100m at school that Doug Howlett couldnt break.

Apparently they did some skills and drills with some of the guys 2 weeks ago and went really good and were basically signed straight away. If so the Sharks have beaten the Waratahs, Bulldogs and Roosters to the signatures.

Thanks for that.

Sounds good....I think.

Who is Doug Howlett?

 

[Inferno]

Doug Howlett

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doug_Howlett
You know you've made it when your in Wikipedia.

Basically he's an All Black Winger.

 

[blacktip-reefy]

He's the half cast winger that the girlies like.
Very quick & quite strong biggish kinda bloke.

bloody hell is that a bit of " Blue Steel"?

 

[Booyah]

Howlett has nothing. He's all pace.





Ok, maybe he can play a bit. But he ain't got nothing on Jonah. No one does.

Jonah Lomu - Machine personified.

 

[Bookie]

He may not be Jonah, but out of all the current players today, Howlett would be a first pick in my side [not in the All Blacks though...]

He's a 100m champion
He can play anywhere in the backline
Awesome kicking/running game

Mate, Howlett would rip league apart.
