New Signings- Take 2

[Weaponhead]

Good depth signing. Can't complain... It's not as if he's replacing an international...

DFifi is a Tongan international.

Starling would continue a long Shark tradition of journeyman bench prop who have done a job for us. He would follow in the footsteps of luminaries such as Craig Stapleton and Bryan Norrie.

 

[McLovin]

Fair enough. Didn't know DFif played for Tonga. What I was trying to say was it'd be a lateral move...

 

[Defer to the coifed]

Starling goes good. I dont understand the hate. I'm actually surprised he is coming, especially if it is this year. Hes got a starting spot at manly. he wont get that with us, because our props are the best.

 

[southland]

I wanted to see more of D Fifita this year. He seemed pretty decent in the first couple of games he played.

 

[Birdee_Num_Num]

go the friz

should be lining him up as gals replacement when he retires

huge player

 

[jc155776]

Jennings f**ks it

 

[snoozer]

Jennings f**ks it

pretty much f**ked everything he went near.

one guy i'd never like to see in origin again.

 

[Don Tweddle]

Brent Read saying Luke Lewis is likely to accept offer we made him and stay for 1 more year.

 

[Card Shark]

Good news

 

[Born BB&W]

Yes good new re: Lukey

 

[Defer to the coifed]

Best news of the day is that Gillette has resigned with the Broncos. What a get out of Jail card that is. Gillette has never had to play with adversity. His teams are Broncos , QLD, Broncos U20's & Elite Brisbane junior club. he would have no idea what adversity is like, like Chad Townsend, Paul Gallen. Wade Graham.
Imagine Wade looking over his shoulder looking at Gillettes pay packet. FMD.
meanwhile , we missed Elijah Taylor. Offered JFH of Panthers nothing. We are not offering Frizelle anything. Frizelle V gillette? no contest. Gillette is as fast Prior. We saw Frizz.
Thank goodness for the football gods.

 

[Card Shark]

The football gods have done SFA for us in 49 years & this is news is hardly continuing that.

We withdrew the offer for Gillette over a month ago...more good management than devine intervention.

However, overall the football gods have been extremely kind to us this year....I even think Gal's SOO failure & subsequent criticism is a blessing in disguise.

He is gunna smash the bejesus out of those warriors tomorrow! I reckon he doesn't play if he wasn't under the pump.

 

[Defer to the coifed]

The offer was not withdrawn, despite what you hear. From the Broncos side , they were extremely concerned about him going to us. The Tians were next $200k less. Broncos less again.

 

[Defer to the coifed]

Despite the ridiculousness of the argument, the fact is we offered well over $700k for the gumby.
Our targets should be
JFH
Nathan Brown
Frizelle
L.Lewis
E. Taylor
Peachy
Rochow.

I'll take your word for it.

I'm not a big fan of massive offers for forwards.

Big money goes to halves & fullbacks imo.

Can't understand how we can afford to pay Fifita...could cost us Val or Bird.....not good.

 

[Craigshark]

Fifita is worth every cent. He goes down this year we don't go anywhere near winning the comp.

 

[Card Shark]

That's just it....being a forward, they are prone to go down.

Hard to justify the value....gotta hope & get lucky I suppose.

 

[Defer to the coifed]

Fifita is worth every cent. He goes down this year we don't go anywhere near winning the comp.

he is the best front rower in the world. he is on the Same money as Bromwich, probably less.
We could sell him & get thaiday for $100k less.

 

[Card Shark]

Not saying Fifita isn't great, he is.

It's position that is hard to allocate that $ to.

You let Frizell go, and we got him, so suck it up, and learn how to spell his name!!
50 years (or is it 49) and won FA-shonkies, shonkies
