Rumoured / Confirmed Signings

[R-15-3]

There is a proposal from Sticky that you can bring players outside of top 30 into 1st grade from round 1 instead of from mid season to cover covid

The problem with that is they can be on very very small deals and need to have a 2nd job to survive, that’s not possible if playing full time or kept in some form of a bubble.

I’m a fan of every salary cap increase for the next 5 to 10 years eaten up entirely by increasing min wage and squad numbers.
The better the carrot dangled in front of fringe players will keep more involved and focused on football that leads to better depth and talent = better football.

The days of losing players to union or super league because they could pay more at the top end are gone. No player is switching to union at the top level because of money.

It’s the fringe players going due to lack of spots or union paying overs for an average fringe player.

I think they won't necessarily train full time, but just be able to be called up if we need them. It's probably in everyone's interests they train full time but like you said they've got bills to pay.

this just exemplifys what r153 said. how good a comp is that gunna be? pizza boys/wingers?
all good expanding merchandise but if you want to survive long term your gunna need to have players behind it

We kept the right Braily, big brother torn Achilles 5-8 months

Jayden was almost injury free at the Sharks but has now had two major injuries in 2 years at the Knights. Unlucky for B1…. Genuine good guy.

 

[bad boy bubby]

B1 was very good last season, in fact I was questioning our decision to go with B2.
I feel for the bloke,a very heart felt player. Every team needs them.

 

[Ozzi_78]

Pearce and B1 gone. Knights top 8 offs are no good.

Connor Watson moved on too…. He used to fill those sorta spots when required

 

[Inferno]

Ash Taylor has made it to the top 25 for the Warriors.

Could spell trouble for Metcalfe.

Johnson signed for 2 years and has a mortgage on a starting half position.

He'd be battling it out with Nikorima, Tavita-Harris and now Ash Taylor.

If Ash Taylor (or one of the others) hit their straps this year he might have a change of heart.

 

[carinashark]

We should make a play for Jayden , could be usefull at lock backup. A very good footballer needs to come home.

 

[DJDL]

Yeah we don’t have enough cover for lock or hooker…

They'll be fine. They're getting MIllie

Anyway saw an article somewhere where the scribe was writing about each clubs depth. Sharks rated in top 3 with tag of Bulletproof.

Next man up culture building steadily. Blokes have been training everywhere

Yeah don't think I've seen a Sharks side in my time with as much depth. With possibly the exception of centre we've got it covered all over the park. With Covid still floating around and the impact of HIA's you need a deep squad to be competitive and/or successful.

Carlos Tarawhiti apparently signed was going to play for tweed head seagulls, was a five eight now a prop is 19

How the f**k do you go from a 5/8 to a prop?

 

[PJ]

How the f**k do you go from a 5/8 to a prop?

Didn't Marty Lang go from fullback to prop?

 

[Miller was a legend]

How the f**k do you go from a 5/8 to a prop?

Put on another 3/8 and became a full 8?
