New Signings!

[Card Shark]

Gordon doesn't have to be picked if he's not performing.

I realise he's on a lot of $ but it's not wasting it if he's holding back someone who could win us games & attract us sponsors & fans through the gate.

 

[runatme]

see how he goes this week on the wing

 

[++ Gregos v.4]

Hodkinson is a young Robbo. Better kicking game though.

So a good defender and a good kick on him. Isn't that what we need.

Plus he can kick goals so Gordon can go.

 

[++ Gregos v.4]

I'm just drawing the parallels because of how much flak Robbo gets.

I don't think Hodkinson will work outside of structure which is what everyone here seems to be crying for.

For the record, id take hodkinson. What else out there is available? Welcome to the sharks.

Yes, he's not flash but he's what we need.

Maloney would be the only other decent avaliable half for next season.

Out of Hodkinson and Maloney I'd be leaning towards the latter

 

[Surely]

I'd be looking elsewhere sign a couple of young guns for the same money as an older middle of the road one

 

[++ Gregos v.4]

I'm with snoop.

 

[island pro]

Out of the 2, i'd vote Maloney. Hodkinson is still an upgrade and i'd be happy with either.

Gordon is performing, just not as a modern day fullback. On the wing he will be a weapon once more (as long as his attitude is okay after the shift). He is good under the high ball, fast enough and a good defender. I think it will be only a few short weeks before we wouldn't trade him for anyone else on the wing.

All of this assumes that Flanno keeps him there for a while instead of moving him back to FB.

 

[Madsharkie]

No, he's not flash. Gordon is flash. Try and keep up Cardy!

Same. What's another year or so of pain while we wait for the young guns to develop? Better long term option than paying overs for an ageing 'middle of the road' half. Spend the money on developing the young guys with proper halves coaches.

Sandow is available, but we wont go for 2 erratic halves.

We don't have quskity coaches but I'd be happy if we brought 2 young gun halves instead of hodkinson.

 

[Card Shark]

Sandow wouldn't go well in our low confidence club.

We need a player that won't get too down with a few losses & take the team to victory.

Having said that, he's a lot better than he used to be.

Parra would be stupid to let a match winner leave. They look to have a good potential pairing in Sandow and Foran. Norman exceeding my expectations but Sandow can win games on his own. Probably not a good fit for us or him. Flanno would attempt to turn him into Robbo or play him with Robbo. He is one player I look forward to watching on TV

The way Barba has played don't we need two halves not one? Could we afford Hodkinson and Maloney? Don't suppose both would want to ruin their career. Hodkinson must be a possible. See him in Cronulla as often as most Sharks players. But based on that we should have J Morris and James Graham.

We probably pay overs for Hodkinson and Sandow goes to the Dogs with a monster pack , teams with Reynolds and kills it.

 

[Special K]

Hodkinson is nothing like Robson. The only thing they have in common is they are both organising 7 and slow. Hodkinson has a world class kicking game behind probably only Reynolds. Robson has a deplorable kicking game. 30m kick down field, mid field f**king bomb(with gordon chasing like a fool and not getting close) are all Robbo has.

If we can land Hodkinson you do it. The issue though is a spine of Ennis, Barba, Hodkinson wasn't good enough in 2012 why would it be in 2016?

With the 7 issue we are truly f**ked until we work out the 6. Barba playing 6 was effectively us playing with 12 men. Holmes is a better 1 than Barba. This won't end well.

 

[Born BB&W]

Just putting this out there.

I feel like the signing of BB was a mistake by the club.

I felt it when it was announced and for everything I have seen since it has only been reinforced.

Am I Robinson Crusoe on this one?

No although I was happy just to have a name player at the start, I've flipped and realised he is poo.
