Rumoured / Confirmed Signings

[Cheese sandwich]

Matterson would just be more of the same as what we've got. Aging, past his best and pretty well meh

I want the kill them attitude.
Like Leniu and May at Roosters, they went and recruited these guys.
We need someone who goes out there prime reason to kill who is in front of them

AFB will fit that bill... hopefully the rest of the crew buy in when he gets here.

I think we should have a go for To'o, Ronnie might want to play with his brother.
Move Katoa on there contracts would equal To'o and Stonestreet, sign a veteran as back-up

Ronnie needs a rocket for a few brainfarts but FMD punting him and Sione is a ridiculous idea. Katoa and Ronnie are up there with the best wing pairing in the fkn comp! Katoa is a gun (bar that one game against Penrith) and doesn't get the recognition he deserves.

Our wingers aren't the problem.

Where do you rate them they are not going to get any better, To'o is miles ahead of them and played same amount of games.
You then have Stonestreet on the other wing.
What we have are 2 wingers with 100 plus games who won't get any better

 

[2012....Sharks Year]

Mass cleanout isn't possible as we don't have the coin. Get AFB here and get Nicho fit and now his SOO aspirations are done and dusted will get back to the Nicho of old assuming the forwards get their fingers out with AFB leading the way

The way our wingers are used is a reflection of the coaching NOT the limit of their abilities.

Put Sione or Ronnie on the end of that Panthers backline and style of play and they will look like world beaters too.

Put Bizza in our system and within 4 weeks you will be the first one in here calling for his head and for him to be replaced by some 16 year old kid you have never heard of, that scored a runaway try in Harold Matthews Cup!

I loved the Ron, our mad Ronnie. He is ours. But sheeze I've gone off him big time over the last six weeks or so. He has a fantastic game and then goes brain dead the next games when he won't stay out in defence on his f**king opposition wingman.

He cost us THREE FUR CAN TRIES LAST WEEK to idjet Feldt and it could of easily been four.

You can read him like a book.

I am a old dinosaur block headed front rower of absolutely no repute but even I can see that he has no idea whether to come in, stay out, come in, come out, ........ oh f**k it, they've scored again.

Ronnie then walks back into the ingoal with his hands on his hip, jaw wide open and looks like he has just shit himself.

His knee injury might give him and the coaches some time to have a good look at some Ronnie videos. You know, Ronnie defending.

If that doesn't work then a couple of weeks down in the ressies to get his head right and wind down the ego metre.

 

[shaggs]

Interesting he has basically played same amount of games as our current wingers and is miles ahead of them, but we went and extended contracts to both of ours.

Well if Ronaldo was thinking of Brisbane here is our replacement

If you think that any winger in the comp currently is comparable in physical ability and drive to To’o because they have played the same amount of games you’ve lost it. The bloke is a freak.

 

[Frenzy.]

Of our current crop of back rowers he’d be an upgrade on Billy Burns.
In ability, not attitude.

That is the only thing I’d be looking at him as a replacement for.

Not by much DJ. Not when BB is a minimum wager and Matterson is on $600k+

You don't really fork out $600k for a journeyman. Especially one who is such a tightarse he sat out 3 games to avoid paying a $4000 fine.

 

[Special K]

The pro Matterson/To'o comments might be the dumbest things I have read here in 21 years of being a member.

Precisely my point.
Get him for similar coin, maybe.
But I’d need to have some serious thought before making the deal.

 

[Tiger Shark]

From the club that signed McInnes, Hynes and AFB and announced it without anyone knowing I struggle to believe any rumours of us interested in a player from now on.

 

[Chimp]

Our wingers are elite, both off the boil at the moment, like the rest of the team, but they’d both get a giig at every single NRL club.
Ronnie has given me the shits recently, if I had to list the team in order of ‘must keep’, they’d both be easily in the top 5 of our squad.
