Carch quite often inspires me.

His Cronulla first and f**k the rest attitude is to be admired.

He is a troll killer too.

Just watched Moylan 2016 highlights vid.

Geeze wingers and centres must be barring up at the chance to run on to his cut out passes.
Dugan
Feki
Val
Loots?
I think it was that year he put a winger over with a tap on. It was lovely to watch

These are very unsettling times for Pennies fans.

They have a coach who cannot win a GF.
It is a known fact he drove 3 elite players from his teams/clubs.
Gagai.
Barba.
And now a club junior and captain Moylan.

He is a mean spirited clueless guy totally out of his depth.

The broncos punted him as he took them backwards and he was destined never to coach in the NRL again.
That was until Gus found ivan cleary wouldnt do as Gus demanded so Gus punted him and got a guy who was desparate in hook - and who would let Gus run and pick the side.

Next in line to work out hook is bad for his career is young Nathan.

Make no mistake Nathan listens to the guy sitting opposite the dinner table more than anyone else...and he knows the story of why his club sacked his dad.

He is driving his price up and will be the first of many to head east after the captain.

Gallen: How I tried to sell Cronulla to Angus Crichton

There is no secret Angus Crichton is a player we’d love to have at Cronulla.

He’s got all the ingredients we look for at the Sharks – a strong work ethic, a willingness to learn, humbleness and a terrific feel for the game.

There are still some rough edges in his game as you’d expect from a 21-year-old kid who’s played just 30 matches, but he could be anything.

Some of the things he can do on the field border on the freakish.

I hate putting the tag ‘future rep star’ on any player, but Angus is certainly on track to become of the game’s leading players.

I had the pleasure of meeting Angus over a steak dinner in Cronulla last week and was blown away with the bloke’s maturity and intelligence.

He asked all the right questions and listened intently as we ‘sold’ the Sharks to him.

So what did we tell him exactly?

Basically the same thing we tell any player who may be interested in joining us.

That we are a down-to-earth club with a team-first policy.

We’ve got the best coaching and high performance staff in the NRL, we’re coming off recent premiership success, we are a consistent top eight club and the joint is in good shape off the field.

Our fans are the best and most passionate in the comp and we happen to live in the best part of Sydney.

What’s not to love?

If Angus does decide to leave the Rabbitohs at the end of 2018, the Sharks are a perfect fit.

What is the point of moving him to prop? He changed how locks play and he plays. Locks are 3rd props these days who control the middle where as when we wanted to move him to prop he was hanging on edges getting in the way.

The current premiership winning 13 is Dale Finucane. He is no prop.

He plays exactly like a prop! McGuire at the Broncos, Lolo at the cowboys, Merrin at Panthers, Trbojevic at Manly, Burgess at Souths.. I could go on. Locks now control the middle, take prop hit ups and are built like props. Half of those guys have played prop. Lock has changed into a 3rd prop which is why the idea of Bird playing lock is insane.

The most "Traditional" lock in the comp is Elijah Taylor and he is probably the worst or second worst.

Exactly right. Klemmer is another one.
