No room for Superman

[Special K]

Utility Jason Kent has done a wonderful job in the halfback position deputising for Brett KImmorley but it hasn't secured him a future at the Sharks. Kent has been told he'll have to look for another club even though the Sharks are delighted with his efforts in the unfamiliar halfback role. He is simply the victim of circumstance."the setback we had when we had preliminary discussions with Jason was we thought we'd lose Greg Bird, but we kept Bird and also Michael Sullivan who can both play the utility role filling several positions," said CEO Steve Rogers
"Another negative effect for Jason has been the uniting with Newtown who have GRAIG FIELD and DAVID HALL who can both play halfback."
The Dragons have indicated they would take Kent back if they can come to a agreement on terms

FFS! Jason Kent must be kept. He can play 1,2,3,4,5,6,7 and hell he'd go to lock if asked. He is a rock in defence and I'll be pissed off if we let a talent like him go while keeping soft cocks like Simmo, Galloway and co. What a joke!

And how can the dragons buy him back? Geez.

And Craig Field? f**k off :twisted:

 

[wittyfan]

Craig Field? Oh no.....

 

[blacktip-reefy]

fuggin disgrace.
Again what is our club doing!
Keeping the likes of bird. Galloway. Reick. Mellars. Merrit.

I hope the Sharks are doing the right thing by him & letting him try to find a better option before taking on a utility role with the Sharks.

 

[Marty Moose]

He couldn't crack 1st grade last year and only came in through injury this year. He certainly had his detractors in 2003.

Still I think we could do worse to throw a few dollars his way and give him another contract

 

[Special K]

Rieck? ;-)

and Kent started last year in the centres didn't he? His season was off to a slow start after doing a injury at the 7s on day one.

 

[tUp]

nooooooooooooooooo. he cant go. he will be brilliant. this is an insane descision.

 

[King of the Hill]

This is f**king crazy, if Craig Field ever wears the Sharks jersey I'll deadset toss it in, I'll spit on him from the ET stand and throw shit at him. And David Hall wasnt even a remotely good player in junior league, how the fugg is he going to make the transition to firsts? Simple - he cant and wont.

Kent is better than Bird, Mellars and Merritt put together. But what can you expect? We let Brett Firman go for f**k all. Nice one Sharks.

 

[Macca]

I hope Field plays.

 

[Nullajet]

just when you think the sharks administration have some credibility they go and show that they're still as dumb as always.......

seriously??? throwing up craig field and david hall's names........give me a break!!

Kent has shown he is much more valuable to us than simmons, merritt and reick!!!!

I have been waiting to see Simmons live up to the hype I have heard but geez...his defence is pathetic and he just doesn't cut it in the top grade so far...

 

[King of the Hill]

Good call nullajet
Tossing up Field is bad enough
But at least he's played first grade and set up a few tries
David Hall was shit for Como, I dont know how the hell he got picked at Newtown and we know we're struggling big time if he plays for Cronulla

 

[Special K]

Field should not come close to our club. He is like 32 and a hack. f**k off Field. I don't care about the rest of the Pl team but if Field is there at 7 over a young bloke then the deal should be called off.

 

[gunnamatta bay]

With the almagamation I would assume old hacks like field will be shown the door.

 

[gunnamatta bay]

When you think about it the almagamation could cause some noses to be out of joint. Who's going to coach the team? Who gets the flick? Does the Sharks premier league outfit simply move in and start running the show?

 

[pogo]

hey backflip.....you want to get rid of mellars??

how many games has he played for cronulla 2 or 3?

would you not like to give him a chance or have you seen enough to judge him?

I saw his best game for us. It was average & his enthusiasm & involvement was disgraceful.
He is at the club for tis & next year. His starting point is obvious, where he finishes, is up to him, not me.
But if he doesnt improve from being a very average unenthusiastic PL player, he will get a deserved pasting from me & other forum members who know something about RL other than the word "potential".

 

[coolumsharkie]

I'm certainly not happy about Field playing in Sharks colours..

He's a f**kin unit off the field (no pun) and an ordinary player that played behind a decent pack at Manly,When he went west he got found out big time imo.

f**k him and Hall off and keep Kent.....

Your right, What are they doing down there!! :?

Col Murphy is coach

those we already know that are getting the flick get the flick

all our next years top 25 that don't play NRL play in the combined team with the balance made up of Newtown players

Newtown pay their own players

We pay ours

Both former clubs can recruit who they want to the team but are responsible for who they recruit

It's only a 1 year trial

 

[What's_in_a_Name]

oh and the team will be known as the Newtown Jets, there is no reference to Cronulla

 

[et]

I'm not overly worried if Kent goes. If he's Superman we've got very low standards. At any club above us on the ladder he'd be in Premier League.
