Still chasing Hannay

[Nuffs]

my reports last year were that Mapp was given $220K a year

and ross - $330K a year

wasn't a very happy camp at the end of last year. especially for our props. especially the young ones.

hannay very very close to signing .......with the RAIDERS. As reported in todays tele.,

Sheesh, another slipped thru the net ???

F&*k I hope so.

 

[PHaTMaN]

Im not bothered by him not coming, but if we cant sign someone like Hannay then getting a good player will be difficult.

Unless of course we dont want him that badly and are therefore offering a lot less than what he wants.

hannay confirmed late yesterday to be a shark.

reported in todays tele as :-

Cronulla officials last night thanked former international Mark Coyne after snaring QLD centre josh hannay for the next 2 years.

The 26 year old cowboys star chose the sharks over the gold coast and the raiders late yesterday , signing on for an estimated $150,000 per season.

" I understand Mark Coyne had a chat to josh and sad cronulla would be a great place for him to go" Sharks chief executive greg Pierce said.

"It's not often you sign a player and have him ring you and tell you how grateful he is for your interest. Josh is jumping out of his skin, he's like a kid in a candy store"

hannays signing comes as the sharks prepare to lose international centres phil bailey and Nigel Vagana.

The goal kicking three quarter is the last origin III player to finalise plans for 2007.

Raiders general manager don Furner said missing out on Hannay was NOT a major blow.

Luke has done nothing wrong so you would hope he does continue to hold the kicking duties - in saying that Hannay would be a fair back up.

 

[coolumsharkie]

Wouldn't it be nice to see him break the record Friday night.

Not out of the realms of possibiity.

 

[Special K]

Hannay isn't a great kicker any more. Covell will keep the boots.

That quote from Greg makes me cringe!!

 

[beekershark]

I'm a little concerned that it took words of persuasion from an ex dragon with nothing to do with the sharks club to get him here.

I think the money we are paying him is great, a bargain for an origin centre, but I do worry about how unattractive we appear to be to off contract players.

THat can't be true Beeker, Greg told us players love to come to Cronulla:roll:

 

[beekershark]

The facts seem to indicate otherwise though mate, its not only this years recruiting season that has shown that either.

I would be grateful too if was saved from playing QLD cup next year! Pffft

Josh is jumping out of his skin, he's like a kid in a candy store"

Would u say he was jumping out of his skin to get to the airport the other week?:roll:

Incase u didn't know im not that stoked about this chump!

 

[The Dodger]

Wouldn't it be nice to see him break the record Friday night.

wouldnt they have to score 10 tries, or tries and penalties equivelant to 10 kicks?

isnt elmazri's record 36 in a row?

 

[PJ]

Yes Beeker, that is why I put the rolling eyes emoticon on it.
