Apparently he had a meeting with Sludge a while ago. Sludge now says we're not in the player market. But is Dean "on the market"?

I dont know

Either way I think this topic has been dealt with at length.

Fair enough SS the only reason I ask is alot of people are including Deano in there 2004 line ups and I wasn't sure if he had come back or was coming back thats all. :D

It's yet another badly kept Sharks secret that Treister will return. I'm just waiting for an announcement from Sludge.

I got the impression he was highly regarded by his pommie club. Is he under contract?

They said nice things about him and then released him at the end of his contract. AFAIK he is a free agent at the moment.

From what I saw Deano played some very good games in the UK last season. But I believe Richard Swain has been signed in his place, albeit some fans would prefer Deano.

He'll only be back at Shark Park serving ice creams..............then again with this current board flip a coin. But how about we bring him back upset the current Australian halfback so he leaves and then we can buy that nuffie Sculthorpe. :lol:

dean treister has had passion for about 10 odd years and that has equalled to no premierships, so i say lets look at improving our current players and forget about the expired triester.

Anyone with a "gram" of intelligence knows Tresiter has two good years left in the top grade.
The pluses far outweigh the negatives.
Along with keeping him in the loop, his is the sort of drive that the club will need, when he moves to the next phase of his life.

Besides that, the talk is redundant.
He's already training with the squad.

So bag him all you like. He is a current player.

I agree with most people here. Bring him back, there's at least 2 years in the top grade, and a real future as a lower grade coach for 3-5 years after that. He has a bloody good football brain, and despite his 'knockabout' approach to life he is an incredibly intelligent bloke. Point is, he is already very well set up with many business contacts, so if the club doesn't sign him on as a coach, it will be our loss, not Deans.

Beyond his 40th birthday, I can see Dean being a damn fine NRL first grade coach.

And as for the people suggesting we'd be better off with some new guy at #9, consider these points:

1. We really don't have an established hooker. Bosnich did OK, but he's a bench/impact 2nd rower at best, he lacks the ability to read a game the way Dean does;

2. In Pat Gibson, we have a potentially very good hooker, but he is still very young and would benefit greatly from having a mentor like Dean helping him through;

3. A top-shelf NRL side MUST have at least 2 hookers to remain in the hunt all season. Injuries and bench rotations dictate this. Not many rakes (wasn't gonna use the word 'hooker' there! :shock: ) go 80 minutes each game, week in week out, anymore. Those that do it occasionally get away with it every now and then (Dean in 2002 semi), but no player in the comp is capable of putting in 100% 80 minute games all year at hooker in the modern era.

4. He's gonna cost us close to NOTHING. He's basically a freebie if we take him on for 2004. Whatever he gets will amount to pocket money. Now I ask you - When was the last time a bloke GENUINELY played for the love of his game and his club? Of course, the publicity machine and many sponsors will ensure that he is looked after (legitimately, within cap rules), so it may end up paying off.

I think Dean Treister was one of the best clubmen our club has ever had.

The day he left the club was a sad one of our great history, especially the way he had to leave considering the coach who forced him out is now gone too.

If only, two words that say alot but mean little.

Dean has played his last game for the club sadly, I think whoever reckons he was training with the side has him mistaken for Stu Raper.
