Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

No to all of that. No to Flanno the cheat, his son who is next to useless, no to the idea that Flanagan could convince players to leave the Sharks so many years after his own departure, no to the idea that we can buy a protector who would reliably help a weak halfback.

Our CEO was suspended for cheating, why can't we hire a Coach with a shady past? Legit question

McLean eating up a heap of it. Off contract and not being retained.

Mate - I would almost bet my bottom dollar they're intending to spend any money they save on Taumalolo on keeping him...
Despite what they say, I don't believe they want JT at the club on 1 mil a year for another 5 years.
Seems to me Payten has been given the agenda to get him off the books.
 

For what it is worth the Mole stated the following today:​

Tigers could nab Sharks lock​

Long-suffering Tigers fans could use some good news right now - and I have some.

A couple of weeks ago, I wrote that the club was interested in signing talented Sharks lock Briton Nikora.

The Sharks want to keep the Kiwi Test forward - and several other clubs are also keen on the 24-year-old.

But in an encouraging sign for the Tigers, one of my spies spotted Nikora sharing a quiet coffee with under-siege Tigers coach Michael Maguire last week.

It's not quite over the line just yet - but the Tigers at this stage are the favourites to sign the long-striding back-rower.

We seriously need some fire power in the engine room .. poor Utoikamanu is the only forward that makes meters every week, he's out there busting his gut .. !! Out hooker issue is fixed with Api (we'll keep either Liddle or Simpkin) .. please release Ofahengaue, Tamou, already going Leilua, Tuilagi .. and get some fair dinkum players who want to be here .. who will turn up every games

Our backs .. well good bye Brooks .. do we go after a number 7 or do we try one of our juniors like Joseph Taipari .. Michael Tannous .. Tyronne Roberts .. ??

Good call. I would promote the 4 of best of our juniors to top 30. Let Hastings and Douehi run the side. Find some outside backs and a experienced fullback or move Douehi nack to fullback
Next years spine of 1. Douehi, 6. One of our young players. 7
Hastings
9 Api is a thousand times better then what we have now.

Because Pascoe was suspended on a technicality for an action that never actually occurred (Farah never became a club ambassador), and for which other clubs do all the time, except they get their ducks in a row and don't disclose it to the public (Cronk coaching gig at Easts, Greg Inglis ambassador role at Souths, BMoz training gig at Roosters, Sam Burgess consulting role at Souths etc.)

Pascoe is a businessperson - not directly involved with the health and wellbeing of players or employees. He was fined due to errors in the bookkeeping.

Shane Flanagan presided over a systematic doping strategy and put club success ahead of the wellbeing of his players. He was present during confirmed systematic salary cap rorting. He was penalised and breached the terms of his ban by engaging in club activities. So not only is he a danger to player health and wellbeing, he's a recidivist.
