Nikora set to stay at cronulla on a 1.7 million dollar deal

In other news daddy dolphin Wayne Bennett is set to meet with Jock Madden and Tommy Talau

At Least we help increase his salary with Sharks to give them more pressure...

 

[hank37w]

Aiken will come crawling back in a few months.....by then our offer price should be no more than $300k...hate how players use our club to leverage more money either here or elsewhere

At no more than 300K he is probably okay as a depth/back up player.

Hamlin-Uele still unsigned for next year

 

[batboy]

He'd be the one I'd be hammering for....
Cronulla got plenty tied up the middle!!

Cousins with Aloiai though I believe - That may not bide well....

 

[Lee's fedora]

Our main focus now is Angus with the club keeping an eye on Kevin Proctor and Raymond Faitala Mariners recovery

Sharks have 10 off contract that we know of it's a lot of cash to throw around

Surely not Proctor
- His attitude and output are absolute garbage for years now...

RFM seems to be having repeat trouble with his injury....
Gus tweets about it often.

Market is dry for back rowers unless we wanna make Tommy T into one gotta go into the market

RFM is a good option and a kiwi which my assist.

Understood....
I'd try other Markets than to go to that one....

Jackson Topine is also on the radar don't know what he has done to baz but he is off him kid is ready for first grade

 

[earl]

How does Dykes fit in if we already have Laurie?

Laurie hasn't been that good. We need more options.

 

[pawsandclaws1]

So there a quite a few options around and having money means we are in a strong position. Cash talks and the fact we are looking at players like Topine and Hopgood strengthens my belief the club's future will be assured by signing these players on the cusp of the NRL. Dykes as well seems an inspired selection.

Yeah its a foot injury they tend to suck

What's he like with a lawn mower?

So in summary from the past week of posts, our backrow targets are:

Angus Crichton
Aitken (if he comes back with reduced price)
Jackson Topine
Faitala Mariner
Proctor
Doorey
Any others???

God I hope we don't resort to taking anything i.e. Faitala Mariner, Proctor. I'd rather invest in someone like Kayal Iro who has been biding his time in NSW Cup for Sharks & can play Centre/2nd Row.

No surprises from hooper twisting like we are losing 1.7 million

 

[Lee's fedora]

Sharks might have just shot themselves in the foot signing Nikora for that they have a lot of solid players off contract the next 2 years that 1.7 mill is gonna haunt them down the line

Having all that extra cash hasn't amounted to much for us in the last few. We have jagged maybe 2 targets out of 20?
We need to get rid of the taint associated with us.
Better coach maybe?
