Rumoured/Confirmed Signings 2011/2012

[Parraren]

The rumors that Poore is looking for another club just don't go away.....

You mean this

SHARKS TO HELP POORE?
Former NSW Origin prop Justin Poore is the latest player to be linked to Cronulla. Poore has not settled at Parramatta since joining the club last year and a move to Cronulla would move him closer to his home at Helensburgh. The Sharks are also talking to Gold Coast's Sam Tagataese, Newcastle pair Isaac De Gois and Mark Taufua, Wests Tigers trio Bryce Gibbs, Andrew Fifita and Liam Fulton and Dragons prop Jon Green. Meanwhile, Dragons back-rower Adam Cuthbertson is considering following Wayne Bennett to Newcastle next season.

Jesus, how many f**king forwards do we want?

I read somewhere that they have to find a home for Toupo before they can get Poore.

 

[boxhead]

I say this without knowing any sources, and I'll put it simply; Poore is not going anywhere. When you deduce and analyse the situation logically, weighing up the variables and the possible outcomes, really, you'd have to be an idiot to think he's going anywhere.

Hopefully I'm not wrong.....he has repeatedly said he is happy here and I think a few people here who actually do have contacts have said as much.

As stupid as it sounds, if we were actually looking to get rid of Poore, and a club was willing to pay his whole salary, then I would throw quite a bit of money at Tupou.

Then again......they are both on 400K. Would it be a fair trade if they get Poore and we get Tupou? I guess one can look at it from this perspective; the respective situations of each club would demand that the two players would likely be better suited to joining the rival club.

Considering how good Allgood and Shackleton are going in the prop position, and with some very good youngsters coming through, some would think that we don't need Poore as such.
The same could be said of the Sharks in regards to Tupou, they have an abundance of second-rowers.

Friday arvo mail 1: Fifita has told @Wests_Tigers team mates he'll be joining @Cronulla_Sharks next year #NRL

For a club that's broke, the Sharks are very active on the player market.

You have to spend the NRL grant. Wealth does not come into it.

 

[boxhead]

I hope they sign him.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Fair enough...

Just dont know why the coach would do this to someone coming to the back end of there career....

He's 5 years younger than Civoniceva and 2 years younger than Fui.

I'd daresay SK will look in-house for depth before going chasing. I'm not sure of the situation with the NYC squad and how many of them will have to make the step up next year and if any of those are of worth senior contracting but from SK's rumblings a few months ago, he'll want to identify the right juniors to retain

We still have a fair whack off players off contract for next year though. Lasalo, Mitchell, Humble, Reddy, Pele, Manase, Hicks, Maguire, Hicks, Walker (if he doesnt take his option) and with Fats and Robson already gone that opens up 11 spots for our top 25 next year. I'd expect Allgood, Loko, Morgan and (sadly) Rogers to be promoted into the top 25 but that still leaves a few spots open for depth signings.

 

[Casper The Ghost]

Yeah, to make way for SBW

:-$:-$:-$

Pat O'Hanlon 2 years

 

[Gronk]

Great stuff. Phil Sim said that he and Marmin played footy in primary school together. Cool.

No I think you will find that O Hanlon said that himself.

 

[Gronk]

Yeah thats what I said. O'hanlan, Barba, short pants etc.

Beau Henry mate, and yes i agree with you he's a very very good young player.

 

[Maroubra Eel]

Beau Ryan is probably funnier than Beau Henry. I'd sign him.

 

[ParraSteve]

I guess Bennett mustn't really rate beau at all
