Noddy, Dykes - both gorn?

[Timmah]

Kimmorley, Dykes may both depart

By Dean Ritchie
June 01, 2007
THE manager of Sharks halves Brett Kimmorley and Adam Dykes has told the club they may end up losing both players after it tabled a second, reduced contract offer for its captain.
Kimmorley was yesterday offered a deal worth $250,000 a season - $50,000 less than the original offer that was sensationally withdrawn last week.
Dykes has been made a big offer and last week appeared willing to stay - but the five-eighth is now considered almost certain to sign a massive deal with English club Hull.
Despite Dykes' imminent departure, however, the Sharks did not increase their offer for Kimmorley, leaving manager George Mimis to raise the possibility of both playmakers leaving the club in 2008.
"Over the past four weeks, the Sharks have dramatically changed their position," said manager George Mimis, who represents Kimmorley and Dykes.
"They went from wanting both players, to one player, to the other and then back to the first. The dynamics have changed.
"I made it very clear to (coach) Ricky Stuart and (CEO) Greg Pierce that there was a real prospect that both players might not be with the Sharks beyond this season.
"Both players are looking at their positions."

The Sharks could only be so lucky.

Imagine having that much room to move in the Salary cap to buy some quality backline players with those two hacks gone!

I fear the same thing for Canberra. We have to tie Dobson and Carney up quick smart. The Sharkies have already been swimming around Carney, they spoke to him only a few days after the "incident". Bloody poachers.

Im fearful of losing Dobson now, he is off contract at seasons end.

 

[coolumsharkie]

Dobson > Sharks.




Naaah, I can't see Raiders letting him go tbh. But maybe with that big fine you guys might have to do a recount.

I don't think Canberra want to see him go but I think there is only so much they can offer him. Obviously a team like Cronulla will have a few dollars to spend if they let Kimmorley and Dykes go, so until Dobbo has signed the dotted line I'll be worried.

 

[coolumsharkie]

Yes your right, especially if we don't sign Noddy, Dykes is already goorne from what I've read.

That would mean for a young halfback, a walk up FG spot under the Australian coach.

Pretty attractive option.

If the Knights lose Walsh, expect them to make a BIG play for Dobson

and he was a Knights fan as a kid.... ;-)

I still dont understand with some of you knights fans, what I mean is, where do you see Mullen in the no.7 or the no.6.

If Mullen is going to be your long term no.7 then why the hell would you want to sign another halfback?

To answer the question simply - Mullen is not a halfback

 

[macavity]

Mullen is a natural 5/8 - much more Laurie Daley than Ricky Stuart, to put it in Raider-speak...

Does anyone think Kimmorely will take 250k a season?

 

[SOULS 04]

yep he'll take it i reckon.... or they'll come to a decision half way between the 2 offers

 

[Stonecutter]

Does anyone think Kimmorely will take 250k a season?

Hopefully not, but if we can't do any better in terms of signings to replace both him and Dykes, throwing him a lifeline might not be such a bad option.

 

[Raider_69]

one of them will stay imo
and im hoping the sharks opt for the cheaper walsh rather then dobbo for another option... either way though the raiders will be fending off one of the sharks or knights for dobsons signiture

in confident we can retain him if we offer him a fair deal, he wants to stay from all reports he just wants what he is worth. Carney should be the priority though, get him long term now so we dont have to worry about him, then look at dobson, because as good as dobson is young Herbert is looking good in PL... still want to keep dobbo though as he has runs on the board imo

 

[~knights~]

No way walsh is staying @ Newie

6.mullen
7.Walsh

theyu can keep kimmorely

 

[Hurriflatch]

If you beleive Danny Weidler then the Sharks are chasing Blake Green very hard.

and please explain how Zilman came to Canberra and under what circumstances. Canberra breeds them and brings them in.....



criminals.

The big difference there is that we got Zillman as a 17 year old and he wasn't an established first grader, he wasn't even signed to another NRL club unlike Carney and Dobson.
