Rumours and Stuff

[T-Boon]

Interesting to hear Parra fans perspectives on Kafusi. Does have age on his side as most props don’t reach their peak till at least mid 20’s. I guess the fact we have Fifita playing his final year @850k makes Kafusi seem like a reasonable buy. Only time will tell I guess.

you will get better value out of him than we got from Adam Dykes.

I think he’s a good young prop that get’s underused here with our two top quality front rowers. He’s not worth 400k for us but by 2023 he’ll at worst be a NRL quality starting front rower.

I reckon of those 5 years he probably has another 2 at an "elite" level.

I think the last 3 years will be ok but his leadership and experience invaluable for the younger crop coming through.

I don't think Parra are under any illusion that Junior will be elite throughout all the 5 years. I also think that this would be reflected in his contract till then.

Exactly. We are the low risk club. The long contracts are about minimising cost early on and keeping the player's leadership in later years. The club won't expect either prop to stay elite into his thirties, and the contract would obviously match those expectations.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

So you're telling me Cam Smiths last contract was less than his previous couple of years?

Definitely. These players don't just keep getting more money until they retire. It's not the APS.

Kaufusi has played more NRL games than most elite forwards had played by the same age. He will definitely be quality. He could play Origin in his first year at the Sharks. Or State of Oregon.

 

[Soren Lorenson]

He’s miles away from Origin Quality, especially when someone like RCG can’t crack NSW’s 17.

Agreed, I'm just saying that he's a favourite of the coach and as such will be shunted to the head of the q.

He is a no nonsense hard running prop who can offload.
Never given a lot of game time but does s good job and has great acceleration. I don't think he will ever be origin level prop but I think by 2023 he will be an above average NRL prop. 400k is a good price for that.

NO. I do not see him as reaching origin level.
Origin level props cost 650k+

We are a development club. Well done Parra.

I went back to home forum recently and someone said BA junior has signed for 4 years and Oregano is leaving.

People are concerned for you.

Like Tim Mannah? Sometimes all they need is to be solid and play in a strong team. It hides their weaknesses and helps them showcase their strengths. From there it's easy to sneak into Origin. We've all seen it before.

Ha… can’t think of too many Sharks that have gone on to shine at greener pastures…. We tend to f**k them up for life.

Welcome back Silverdale. Tell me, why do the Tigers fans wish us so much misfortune? I have nothing but best wishes for your team. I save all my hatred for the Storm and the Broncos. But Wests fans seem to pray for the worst for their Sydney counterparts and sometime groundmates. It's quite hurtful.

Myth Piss was sneaking in for almost a decade.

Definitely? Oh Poo. If only we had your contacts.

 

[Gazzamatta]

Yeah but Freddy loves him. Pisses in his pocket every chance he gets.

Every coach has their project favourites. No way Stefano deserved the Origin call up ahead of RCG.

What did he get. 20 mins? One of the worse players to play origin.
