Recruitment & Player Retention

[Birdee_Num_Num]

I like wighton, on display again as we speak

He is quality

 

[Birdee_Num_Num]

Leutelle & wighton would make a good 3/4 combination

 

[THE MESSIAH !!!]

Parra can have Mills, if Ricky thinks he is better then what they have they will be in for some further long winters

 

[Quigs]

I will like any Sharks centres combination that will stop me from yelling and screaming at the TV screen.

I don't give a rats what their names are as long as they are better then what we have at the moment.

Honestly I am right over this outside backs problem we have. It's not like it happened yesterday. It has been a glaring problem for years and years.

 

[Ausguy]

Agree quigs. It's frustrating. Why can't we find young players that just man up and play hard. Te tigers have a 19 yr old killin it. The roosters have 2 youngens who look like seasoned veterans. We have f**king Ben pomeroy and have had for how long? 6 years or something? Fmd

 

[The Popper]

Gotta agree. Quite frankly, I reckon Peach coulda played centre. Too late now.

 

[Ausguy]

It's like we are scared to blood players incase we ruin them. Take a risk for once ffs.

It's cause you have no juniors

Plenty of juniors, we just either don't sign em, don't use em or don't promote them.

 

[shaggs]

Isn't it the largest junior league numbers wise after Penrith And parra.??

Plenty of kids, like Steve said, we just do nothing with them and none if then really ever kick on.

It is probably that the young ens in the shire have more choices in life. Whereas in the west the only choices a young bloke has is league, ice or smack.

Says the troll roosters supporter.

I think the options once they turn 18 are also far greater.

 

[Windy70]

We have 3 reasons to leave / or lose interest.

Cash strapped. Especially with the ASADA bs thing. So number one is cash. pure and simple.

Inexperienced coach. Yes he has been around a long time, but not on this battle field. A whole new thing for him. Love him, but he can't make the "It's time" calls.

Young guys of today are not looking for a club, they are looking for a pay check. Not all, but most will follow their heart less then their wallet. Can't blame em at that age, so see point 1.

Peach should of stayed. Look at his build, he could play centre, f**k we need that.

I'm confident we can get another 6-8 wins by season end. We will be there and our mind has to be as well.

If ASADA drops a bomb on us coming into the finals I swear I will just cry.

 

[++ Gregos v.4]

Peachy is not a centre.

 

[coolumsharkie]

Peachy is not a centre.

Bullshit man, the majority of Sharks supporters disagree with you.

They know their footy to champ, been supporting them all their lives.

Lets sign Wayne Bennett. And Get rid of Pommeroy too.

 

[Luke Bowden]

I think your dramas started when you got stuck in a bidding war with Penrith over TC, he is grabbing a large chunk of change, that combined with your other big names Lewis Gal etc doesn't leave a lot of cap space / money to spend on Peachey and Bakuya etc.

Certainly nothing wrong with the Junior System in Shire, you just can't have everything.

You either try and sign a team which will win you a comp in the short term or you try and build one which will hopefully win a few down the track.

 

[DJShaksta]

We didn't get into a bidding war.
You offended Todd way more than us.
We offered him a good deal and he stayed loyal.

Same with Peachey.
You offered way more than us.
We offered a good deal.
He went with money to our disappointment.

We have plenty of cap space left.

 

[Birdee_Num_Num]

the more i think about the peachey loss, the more i get really p*ssed off

this is a major recruiting stuff up, how did we let this happen?!

peachey is going to absolutely kill it next year in that young panthers side!

and we will be left dribbling on ourselves at what could have been

so bloody dumb

 

[Luke Bowden]

Your good deal was still more then what you were planning for.

Its not necessarily about cap, the club still needs to have the cash.

I find it hard to believe that the sharks wouldn't match the Panthers offer for Peach if they could afford too?

The Penrith deal for Peachey is about what most people (who have a clue) would consider pretty reasonable for a player of his potential.

I'm at a loss as to why the sharks woukdnt match it? Unless there are Money issues Cap or Actual money.
