The Ayshford appreciation thread.

[SharkShocked]

Whilst I think we can all agree that Ayshford is an upgrade over Pom (although the exact nature of the upgrade can be debated in my view)... I still am disappointed about this purely because I believe it will probably mean we don't get Simona.

And I was looking forward to having a player of his ability & potential in our backline.

Slow and steady in the NRL will never win the race.

I love it here. We could sign Billy Slater and someone (including myself), would have a whinge about it. Don't mean that disrespectfully to anyone, it's just an observation.

 

[Frenzy.]

Suicidal ideation and whinging at lotto wins. It's a Shark thing Feej.

 

[SharkShocked]

I don't really think it's us whinging at necessarily good news.

In this case we know that we were interested in Simona and if we end up with Ayshford it's like ending up with your second on the list to take to the dance!

That's the way i look at it anyway

 

[madunit]

Not half mad. He's played 11 of 16.

He's played injured for a few of those games ol chap ;-)

Given Sharks structure, Ayshford is more suited

Good point, but if you look at other 'signing' or 'rumored signing' threads, they all seem to be the same. Like I said, no one in particular, but just an observation.

Don't even start us on the way we play....

He still played 'em and even though I know injury affects form he is only one of about 100+ footballers who play injured each weeks.

I think the games he played injured he wasusedin the second row wasn't he? Not sure about that but he has played in the pigs

We play good. We twy weally, weally hard.

 

[Card Shark]

Not a bad signing in a position we are very skinny in.

Good signing in that case. If tigers are paying some, that's a bonus.

Anyone doubting Blake should view these links. The try when Carney was playing for the Roosters underlines high deceptive his is with the ball. Blake and Beau Ryan will continue their partnership on the same side.

[Surely]

I'd rather get simmo back

 

[chewsta]

Ahhhhhh now the signing makes sense... he can play second row. :lol:

Yeah, he played a similar position to that by Luke Lewis at the Sharks last weekend. A slightly wide running back rower.

 

[Special K]

Ayshford is a typical sharks back.... I thought we were trying to change our thinking by going after the Simonas, Wightons etc

A few years ago I would of been stoked with this signing. It is an improvement on what we have but still... Without Simona, Lafai, SKD or Wighton I can't be that happy with it.

 

[carinashark]

And Pom , can he play second row instead,,,,,,,,,please. Ayshford has to be better than Pom , right?

 

[Quigs]

I'd rather get simmo back

I know a bloke that would bar up if we got the Limmo back.

Narhhhh I think fairs fair. We should just let the Pennies rebuild their club around the foundation that is the Limmo.

 

[The Fruit Pickers]

Good signing in that case. If tigers are paying some, that's a bonus.

Sorry no bonus, Blake requested a release, Sharks are footing the entire bill for his services.

You just can't fap off over him :lol:
