Still the best recruitment for years. Sad as that is. Ramien would stay at the Sharks. Hard to get players from the top teams.

Fair bet he will stay at sharks. Didn’t last out his last move to knights

Go to junior reps 2023 thread 2nd last page has a thing on our juniors and he’s in it looks solid. I reckon he can use the heavy roller.

The Cubs of 2023 and beyond

This time of the year, everyone writes up the same type of previews on players, players to watch and season predictions.To save you reading the same piece that’s just cut in a different way, I thou…

Thanks Buttface. That's a really excellent summary of what looks to be a very deep and talented junior ranks. Feledy looks like a tank and more like a second rower than a centre!

I think you're right Sean T. The Sharks are a strong club with a popular coach. Can't see him leaving either unless we pay him megabucks........

I am not worried about our depth on depth.

The problem is our two "halves" are Brooks and AD. We need to solve that problem by bringing someone in. Filling up on Fringe grade halves who are only good for the occasional reserve appearance is wrong.

Forwards, different situation. The more aggressive our pre-games and training is the better our first grade.

Depth means your next halves talent will look at us and not get a start at First grade. Keep the "reserve" space open and look for a person who is blocked in another club that would upgrade Broooks/AD.

That is the problem. There is no one putting pressure on our halves which means one of 2 things - either inadequate hales in the backup or no potential halves to pressure....Will Smith is not a halves solution and that is the problem when i look at our recruitment . Not to say we are the only ones either. Across the board apart from Dragon's, Roosters, South's, Canberra and Bronco's there seems to be a lack depth of backup halves.
I will always stand corrected but this is a massive weakness in our depth both in NRL and NSWRL.

Well he is a Sharks junior to be fair. If that's where he feels at home with his footy then not much we can do.

Pensini is off contract at the end of 2023. Defiantly one to be putting pressure on the Eels with all the $ they are throw at their halves.

Penisini and ramien in the centres would be good

 

[Jedi_Tiger]

Regarding Ramien and Bulldog Ritchie's article, we are closer to signing him that Ritchie is making out we are. His Management came to the Tigers he does have some interest, my contact at the Sharks was pretty confident last week he won't be with them in 2024.
I guess however does not mean a cashed up dolphins won't make a play for him either

Nah.....I'm hoping he's the next Bradman Best, but without the time spent on the sidelines.

Yeah it was a long read but worth it.

Big increase in the Salary Cap to $11.45 mil, & Dev Players now $650,000, this will help Dogs & Eels no end.

Yup that'll help the flavours of the month....

 

[jadtiger]

AD will probably up his asking price to over 1 million now,if he does he will probably get a nasty shock

 

[Westsboi2019]

Finally, the salary cap is settled
