Sharks 2019 team

[Differ To The Coifed]

Counting the departing players as full value back into the cap is a mistake.

We don’t know anything about the salary changes year to year for existing players. As an example is Fifita or Dugan on the same every year or does it change?

Yes and no, its just a guesstimate, as I did say. The only changes would be rep bonuses or the like as the Sharks policy is not to backend contracts as far as I know. That’s the crux of why the cap management has been good.

An even yearly value would help stabilise the cap for sure.

Let’s presume 2 players.... what positions?

I’d go 2nd row and prop

Yep.

Same and if anything leftover a journeyman centre

 

[glenmoresharkie]

Surely we can pick up somebody like Shaun Fesnom who was released by the cowboys

Tackles all day and would come cheap as chips

I’d say a winger and a good forward or a hooker

I'm surprised we haven't yet picked up a journey man player like that yet. Wtf is happening with recruitment.

Oh man.. fensom is so far past it.

 

[Differ To The Coifed]

Give me a flanno journeyman type signing....

Here is one.... Joel “bulldog” Monaghan

 

[cb4]

That’s already 30 so I don’t believe all these will be in the final top 30.

Correct you are, Frenzy.
Some of the following will be development players, the ones in bold I know are for sure.

Blake Brailey
Daniel Vasquez
Cruz Topai
Toby Rudolph
Briton Nikora
Bronson Xerri
Brandon Trindall
Billy Magoulias
Jackson Ferris

 

[cb4]

Teig Wilton and Josh Carr are two others on development contracts.

There’s only 6 so it’s leave 1 more. I’d hazard a guess at Cruz

 

[Weaponhead]

Really need a quality edge backrower with Lewis gone and Graham out for half the season. Capewell did quite well in the latter part of the season. Bakuya is more a middle player these days and Sorensen really did not step up.

Nikora has potential bit not sure he is ready. Wilton and Carr a couple of years off. Jack Williams looked promising.

We need an elite signing. Can’t stay in the top 4 by signing journeyman.

 

[Craigshark]

Need either TPJ or Taupau or both (wishful thinking) and a winger or centre. Bird?

 

[Weaponhead]

We need an elite signing. Can’t stay in the top 4 by signing journeyman.

We lose an elite (If ageing) backrower and some solid first graders. Need a quality signing or three to stay competitive with the good sides. Loots is replaced by Morris but other spots need to be filled.

 

[Defer to the coifed]

buy elite? or create elite?
Who we have?
Fifita
Gallen
Graham
Moylan
Townsend
Morris
Bakuya
Woods
Dugan
Pryor

These guys will become elite
Xerri
Brailey
Williams

Throw into that, our fullback, whoever that might be.

Pretty good roll call

With our recent success we should have no trouble attracting players. No excuse not to be picking up a legit replacement for Lewy at least.

 

[Stake Removed]

Trindall impresses, he has deep kicking game, good bombs, even touch finders, plenty of metres.

If we are looking for a backup forward for 1 season, David Gower is that type of Flanno player no thrills does his work, and gives more experience on the bench and would cover any injuries
