Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

[Cobarcats]

A great club man for the Sharks. Like Tamou, both achieved a lot in their respective careers, both the same age, both looking to bump up their super then return to their clubs where they have bonded. We are like a hot vindaloo, tasty until you wake up the next day.

He's the same age as JWH too. I dont think in this day and age that he's too old. He has overcome injuries which if anything has extended his playing days.
I'm hearing he is fit and punching out some good stats.
He can rise to the occasion in rep games and remember he scored that amazing try to clinch the Sharks Grand Final.

If Fifita can bring Royce Hunt with him, I'm all for it.

I think the Sharks have signed all the props they want to keep.

Players can't rule themselves out!!

He's not Ben Simmons!!

Ken does seem to have ongoing injuries which is a bit of a concern-he does need to take time off then who do we put in his place, so I'd say in hindsight letting Nofa go was a mistake

credit to the tigers for throwing their hat in the ring with Munster. $1.4m is enough for him to certainly take notice and consider it. I honestly think that given the state of our squad and the salary cap increase that it's actually bang on the money in terms of what we should offer too. let's see what happens eh?

All this will do is upset the other players knowing we won’t get him but are offering $ 1.4 million per year for him , then tell our current guys we don’t pay overs any more. Stupid stuff he won’t come near the joint , not even for $ 1.6 mill

For 5yrs he might, would be 33 I think last season of the deal. Be surprised if anyone else would offer close to that for 5yrs.

At least we are targeting a big fish, in the right position and is the best in his position.

Doubt anything will come of it but geez if we pulled Munster signing off it would be a huge get for us. The best backrower, hooker and 5/8th in the comp not many teams have done that.

 

[Long Term Fan]

I think Munster will stay with the Storm.

WT need to land some more big fish so great they are trying something. Hope it does not back fire like the Lattrell saga.

Not worth wasting our time while he has Braith as a manager. No chance it happens, if it is even true. Hooper is usually good for a rubbish rumour.

I've read Braith has a very high regard for Tim Sheens.

it also puts the bait out there for rep level mercanarys

I

Fox reporting we offered cam Munster $7m deal

I thought you were not allowed to offer deal until Nov 1 and that says to me Fox are just making it up again on the run.. Anything for click baits

Good ol Glebe mate. Did you have anything to do with them Tommy?

Why is Fitzy moving him on?

Yeah I agree we shouldn't go after Munster, it might get Pauga, Madden and To'a offside.

The leaks continue.

 

[Tommy_the_Tiger]

Good ol Glebe mate. Did you gave anything to do with them Tommy?

My partners family live in Glebe, and due to the lack of success at the tigers, we've all jumped on board supporting the Dirty Reds this year! Even bought myself an old jersey. They're into the Ron Massey Cup grand final in a couple weeks.

The article is by the guy who wrote Maguire was safe the day before he got boned

 

[pawsandclaws1]

Maybe it's the cynic in me but when big dollars are on the table, it is not only the players who becomes interested. I'm sure the commission of a player manager is on a pro-rata basis.

 

[Tcat]

Dont understand why Hooper says "possibly" Paps is coming next year. Pretty sure his management has put this to bed and said he's coming next year. Wish these journos would just accept he is honouring his contract. I like the offer made to Munster, however, we throw the offer to him but dont wait around for too long for him to make his decision. We don't offer $7M and wait around looking like chumps while he negotiates with other clubs for less. We gauge his interest and waste no time pulling the offer and look elsewhere.

If he's interested great, if he's not, we advertise this through our media team and control the narrative before the scum journos get a hold and shit can us again.

I've read Braith has a very high regard for Tim Sheens.

Braith joined us because he wanted to play under Tim then Tim got punted. He has been open on 360 about it. Thinks Sheens is a great coach.
