Possible new player for Cronulla

[Paulmon]

Found this on the New Zealand Herald's website in a story about the Lauiti'iti situation.

"Australian club rumours also have others at the club wanting releases and that centre Vince Mellars will soon turn out for Cronulla."

I hope your club isn't that lucky.

Vinnie Mellars is an absolute star of the future, and not far off starring at the present. He is big, quick, and has good ball skills. He has high tackle %'s, perhaps occasionally he can be caught out misreading the wide 2nd man play on the line.

his a centre who can play prop? :shock:

But really the club needs a number 4....

 

[coolumsharkie]

Sounds good.....

Rude lookin mug too :lol:

 

[Craigshark]

Ill take him.. It certainly adds depth...
Players like Franze and Kent wouldnt be feeling to good hearing that news..

 

[Macca]

I'd need to know more about him. Iafeta is a pretty switched on sorta bloke from what I can tell though, so he could be a coup for us. Does he play left or right centre?

 

[Anonymous]

I'd happily have him... but I doubt it'd happen. Rumours? I never believe 'em.

 

[Sharkie73]

Do you think Vagana had anything to do with this ;-) and if so both Vagana and Lomu might have some pull with Lauiti'iti, all this should make for an interesting couple of days :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

 

[Disco]

I hope u guys don't get him, cause i'd love him at manly

 

[spirit of league]

can't see anything wrong there. hope he comes over. he's looked the goods when i've seen him playing. talented, aggressive, young, strong, quick. oh... and he CAN tackle (matt reick please take note :lol: )

still won't be counting on it 'til it's announced, but imagine picking up mellars and lauiti'iti next week ! cool :mrgreen:

Lauiti'iti has been linked to 8 clubs in Australia and 4 in England, so far.

Take a number and stand in line.

 

[Special K]

His got 3 offers so far. Sharks, Souths and Wigan. We are standing in line ;-)

 

[Alan Shore]

This one's come from the middle of nowhere!

and 5/8 - hows that for versatile. Sounds like he would be an awesome buy. Lets hope there is some truth in the rumour.

The question is, how much money have we got left? Obviously, a young up and comer in Merrit, an International in Lomu and the massively priced Vagana would have put a HUGE dint in the salary cap...also there's still Peachey, Kimmorley, Stevens, Beattie and Bailey who all would take up sizeable chunks. I think its one or the other really...for mine I'd take Lauatiti....but Mellars is still a very good player.

Club Debut Warriors v Sharks @ Ericsson, round 13

From what I can remember Mellars played a really good game and scored 1 or 2 tries on debut against us. Not a bad effort, has he played 1st grade this season?

"GET A HAIRCUT YA HIPPY!"

My little sister tells me that's my lookalike if ever there was one. :|
