Not following through on calls like this will likely cost us Madden as well. If you aren't going to try back him now when we have no skin in the game then when will you back him...

Not following through on what call? And who cares if whatever you are talking about costs us Madden.

Dropping Brooks

I think the media just made the story up to make us look like a basket case

So Brooks wont get dropped now lol

Why am I not surprised?😕
Support of a mediocre, non performing players continue, endlessly?? 🙁

Who actually said Brooks had been dropped anyway , i thought that was the job of the coach and i heard nothing from the coach saying that

It was a "report" by James Hooper saying Brooks was to be dropped. To no one's surprise, James Hooper to be wrong once again.

Doubt few if any players will leave the Sharks to follow Morris unless they are discards. It seems like a very settled club, camped around the 8 consistently and gives the juniors some belief that their is scope to succeed
We really need to stop pretending that a change of coach will suddenly attract the type of talent that was not interested before. Discards and mercenaries - until who ever is in charge of recruitment and retention works out which of our own we need to keep and give them something to play for.

There will be a few who we can offer more $$$ to in positions that Sharks have good depth - Nikora/Wilton, Ramien/Talakai, Hunt/Pele. I think we'd stand a good chance of 1 of the 2 in each of those positions.

Who made the call that he would be dropped? There was none

I can't see any of them leaving unless the Sharks dont want them, and then if we want them they will probably also have options. Wilton being related may be a chance but it also may be more of a deterrent as well - not every player has the desire to be coached by a family member.
Missed out on too many to allow myself to believe JM can change that. The club needs to provide players a belief that we are going to be successful and we are already sending a message that it's 3 years away. Happy to be proven wrong.

Tilldeman’s pommy mate pranked him and the professional media types who read this forum for intelligence wrote an article on it the next day. I think that’s how it happens.

The word out of Yorkshire was that the drop was definitely coming.
