Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

Quick Update:

Coaching:
Club had a zoom meeting with Kristian Woolf a couple days ago to purely gage his interest in being our coach, wasn't a lengthy meeting but all round positive response from both sides. John Morris has also been directly spoken on 2 occasions.
The club has had to applications put to the club via the Walker Brothers Management & Dean Pay's Management, neither of these are looking to be explored.
In relation to Shane Flanagan he's not entirely out of the equation but his aggressive background media push has made the club extremely cautious not to mention his previous indiscretions.
A left field name that has been discussed is Jason Ryles, but doubt he'll leave the Roosters.

Recruitment:

Charlies Staines - all the noise about him is purely from his management & we are just being used to get his name out there to see if any other takers will come into the fold.

Kade Dykes - As you can imagine everything went sideways with this, he hasn't committed to the Sharks at this stage, management waiting to see where we land with a coach.

Jordan Miller - We seem to have done enough to keep this young man with us for the future. 3 Year deal will development next year & top 30 in 2024

Brandon Tumeth - Well into discussions to keep him around, almost certain to be in top 30 in 2023.

Hastings & Doueihi - Sheens has been in constant contact with these 2 & made it very clear to the both of them that they are future leaders of this club, had lengthy 1 on 1 with them & cleared the air over recent events.

In relation to filling remaining spots for this years roster by August 1, we only need to fill 2 out of the 3 available, as Luciano was released in June under NRL rules we aren't required to fill his spot & don't have to allocate his money for the 2022 season, this can be rolled over into next years salary cap.

Thanks mate any guess on time frame for them to announce a coach?

Is it true sheens is keen to get more hands on with coaching?

Is Kimmorley a chance?

If you had to put money on who our next coach would be who would you put it on? We all seem to think it will be John Morris
 
Have not heard anything on Royce Hunt.
Nathan Brown would only be considered if the new coach wanted them.
Tim Sheens will NOT be getting more hands on with coaching & continue to do what he is currently.

I believe it's down to Woolf or Morris, personally I think Morris will get the job, biggest issue is the talk of him struggling to attract talent when he was at the Sharks, but some believe that was just a media tag line.

Club wants a new coach sooner rather than later. I'm expecting an announcement within a fortnight.

Why would we roll his money into next year? Are we over the cap?

Did we manage to keep most of the players from the undefeated Harold Mathews team that we wanted?

Thanks for the update and it's good to hear that Sheens is being kept away from the coaching position,at least the club realises that he is well past it.
