JWH would be nice at the right price but as I don't think go forward is the issue. Would like someone who knows what to do when we're camped inside the 20.

One can only dream.

There is a seemingly rich history of players who started out at Penrith leaving and returning to play out their careers - Alexander, Geyer, Wallace to name a few. No basis to it but just a feeling in my waters, but I think there may be one such player currently in the NRL that will return to Penrith in the next few years. Would love for it to be Graham.

Junior Paulo? He threw a pass last Friday that I don't think Nathan Cleary is capable of throwing.

I'd like to get Marsters but he was much better in 2018. Maybe he's wanted out all year and he'd come good under the coach who brought the best out of him in 2018, but 2019 Marsters wouldn't be worth big money.

I think Marsters will end up in the second row eventually too. So we will need to consider that if we want to sign him.

Mate cronulla are about to have their fire sale, most probably next week, if the tigers put points on them, and end their season, wado is first choice, no club is going to take the other guys that are hindering their salary cap, johnson, moylan, woods, fafita, dugan all have had major injuries this year, only morris and wado are the prime picks, we need wado, a captain and possible 5/8, or lock forward, and experienced to get our young guns performing, maloney was good for trick shots, but wado will be better for team building and grit, we dont have that, our heads go down everytime we lose those 50/50 calls

If Wade Graham is let go by Cronulla then that is a massive white flag and a sure sign of relocation. He is the future of the club.

Wade Graham has also had injuries this year.

Graham would be an extraordinary pickup. The Sharks would be insane (or broken as Fangs suggests) to let him go.

I think we're dreaming tbh.

Mate they have 6 players taking up half their salary cap, even with gal, prior and brailey leaving, they still need to pay the other 24 players, in their 30 man squad next year, theyll have to offload 2-3 of those 6 marquee players plus make sure they dont get another salary cap fine, mate Wade's the perfect buy for any club, the others not so much

P.s. yeah he did have ACL but recovered in record time, then blitzed it for origin.
I'd be picking him out of the 6 on offer and paying overs too

Mate, Wade Graham is not going ANYWHERE except being elevated to Captain for the Sharks...

Think you need to let that one go..

I get why you would him back. But he re-signed this year for a 3 year extension until 2022, so can't see them letting him go.

He swapped to the left side early in the year and thats when I noticed the off loads started to dry up from him and his tackle busts as well.
Might be a good replacement for Whare for a few years until he shifts to the 2nd row later on.
