Did Sheen say in an interview at the start of the season that he expects to have a few players extended during the bye round. I have been trying to find that interview but no luck, or was i imagining it.

He said he was going to start talking with guys about extension's, specifically mentioned Brooks, but said there were others aswell

I thought his comment was more they will wait to the bye round and then commence discussions with players to extend. If that is the case won’t hear anything for another 6-8weeks at best

Anyone got an option of Tedesco this year he is not the same is it the way he has played over the years caught up or something else does not look the same to me

Imo not as sharp, maybe age, I’m not sure. Don’t think it’s injury, I think Robinson has probably noticed it as well.
If he’s looking for a change of pace then please come home Teddy, we could certainly use you !

God no. Tedesco will decline quickly. He has no ball playing ability and no kicking game. So as soon as he slows up he is finished. The signs are starting already.

You could be right there KS but his organisation skills good and he is the current Australian captain, let’s not forget that. I’m sure we wouldn’t mind a couple of seasons.

Yea I'm not sure mate. I've watched him pretty closely and the only thing he's good at organising is the defensive line. He is often getting in the way of attacking plays these days. He has lost his finesse. Plenty of heart and effort and has been a great player. But I truly believe if he came to us he would offer nothing.

Kepoa and Naden should be our centres heading forward with Tupou and Toa on the wings. They have shown enough to warrant these spots for the rest of the year. Talau played five eight as a junior and couldve been an option there whilst Douehi is out. He is a way better option than Laurie as some have suggested.

Sorry but if toa is your winger moving forward. We are in big trouble. I’d be signing iro from the sharks. Make it a double and we take their reserve grade half back.

You may well be right, as usual I’m talking about the past not the future, like most older fellas.

I have no idea how the Sharks are under the cap

Whatever the market value is for the players that they have re-signed, that’s what they are getting paid. Looking at who’s still off contract for them, I don’t think any of them will be kept for 24. Maybe Teig Wilton may get an extension if its on a real cheap deal.

I’m sure Fitzgibbon learnt many things at the Rorters !!!

He probably did but I still don’t think they are cheating the cap. While the Sharks do have a good team, a lot of their players aren’t as high profile like the Roosters are. The real big name at the Sharks is Hynes but some of their other players like Kennedy, Talakai, Brailey, Mulitano etc aren’t as big as compared to Teddy, Manu, Smith and Tupou.

They'd all be on good money and their second tier players like trindall, dykes still better than out first grade squad. WT looks like nsw state cup in comparison. Good on sharks because they've developed a lot but they're all getting paid well.

Except a big price tag that he would expect from us,no one is going to offer us depreciation from our position at the moment

Not every player at the Sharks would be on decent coin. But regardless, I don’t they are cheating the cap. I can see why you’re questioning it though but I don’t think they are.

Just so we are clear my comment about Fitzgibbon was not about cheating the cap, but rather him learning the ways and means of maximising your roster without a blown out budget. These are skills that Easts have and I’m sure he’s utilised some at the Sharks.
Not everything Easts do is illegal, but they do have some very savvy businessmen associated with the club, none more so than Nick Politis.

Ahh ok my bad I assumed that you thought they were cheating the cap. But I do agree that Easts have certainly cheated the cap at one point or another. Don’t know if they are still doing so but they would have at some point.
