Round 1 Predicted team

[Defer to the coifed]

His father was a tough Ba$hard. I've no doubt his boy is tough too.

whos his dad? Not Darren Tracey?

Sucks to see Morris leave but this whole forum has been banging on for years about the team being a dads army. Finally we are seeing some new kids emerge its pretty exciting really. Some of these young blokes look real hungry to make a name for themselves too. I think we will be all right.

Not fussed about him leaving as such. My anger is at him going and not being replaced. He was a first choice backline player and will be replaced with a replacement. Not good.

 

[snout]

My anger is that a club can contact a contracted player from another club and offer him a deal.
Even when hes under contract.
It upsets the players frame of mind and he immediately wants out.
It phfarks with the our clubs preparation for the season as the player has been preparing with us all summer.

How this isnt illegal is what angers me.
Greenburg watches Easts do this to our club and decides this is how he wants clubs to behave??

 

[Mr Angry]

I come back too seems we could not actually afford Jesse.

So why do it.

Good point. It's far from certain that he grows into a consistent first grader. The reported 500k seems high for a bloke coming off a poor season.

 

[coolumsharkie]

The news is now saying the board went over Johnnys head.. If they didn't cut a great deal out of it they should be dragged out of there and flogged in front of their families!

Yes. It's stupid and shouldn't be allowed. But I think we've probably been guilty of it in the past as well.

Make a transfer period and be done with it. Once or twice a year. Clubs can put up a list. Player has to agree. When the period is over no more talk. Move on.

 

[Defer to the coifed]

There is a simple solution. The players bank accounts & investments go through salary cap auditors for a period of 5 years accessed weekly.

Not a transfer period, a transfer fee

John obviously has a lot of time for him.

But we were always going to lose a higher paid player to be compliant.

I understand we tried Dugan and Moylan, but they did not pan out a value to others and seems Morris has and the Roosters have the space.

The thing that strikes me, Josh Morris appears to have little faith in us winning to title, I do not think a pay rise is involved.

We just lose a player and promote Pele on minimum, as that is what we can afford.

FTR

According to this Johnson is our highest paid.

or this

Craig Tracey

So why do it.

The club had a decision to make.
Get a young centre who is on the market, knows the club, loves the club, didn't want to leave and have him secured for the next 10 years.
Or Keep Josh Morris for this season, then he retires or plays one more year and Jesse goes elsewhere.
We made the right call. As good as Josh is, he is on the way out and Jesse is on the way up.

The real issue here is the cap fine, Moylan and SJ. Those 3 factors are taking up 2 Million in funds and offering us nothing in return.
I won't add Dugan as he was one of our 3 best players last year.

But ramien has taken Dugan spot, not Morris. Morris lost his spot to xerri.
We have Dugan for a couple more year and we signed ramien, trying to offload dugan now is hard and makes the ramien signing dumb.

In my opinion Dugan is the better of the two aswell

 

[snout]

Ramien is a gun centre.

 

[ghoti]

Hey does the team get announced today??

 

[tom of poland]

Hey does the team get announced today??

Yes, if they're following the same standard practice at last year, then all the teams get announced at 4pm, every Tuesday.

Anyone got the latest on Josh Morris ? if he's supposedly going to the Chooks in Round 2, then why even consider him for Round One ?

 

[Mr Angry]

Well, it is a choice I can deal with, just do not get upset when Josh leaves.

 

[2012....Sharks Year]

Pretty sure they womt risk Xerri for round 1 and possibly round 2.... Morris is needed for at least a week or 2.

 

[Special K]

Raimen is a f**ken steal. He is a Justin Hodges clone and from seeing him around Cronulla looks insanely fit.

He will play for NSW this year.

 

[Dragon Slayer]

He might be needed for more than one week but unfortunately he just signed for the Chooks starting Round 2.

f**king Roosters!
