Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

I've been watching Newtown in the KOE Cup. What's the contract status of Connor Tracey? He looks good at fullback but he's played all over the backline for the Sharks, including the halves. Can't get a look in in First Grade. Is he worth chasing and is there realistic chance we could snare him for five eighth? I've always thought he was a talented player. No sign of Brayden Trindall though. Is he injured?

18th man

As a young player, Tracey did the ACL in his left knee THREE times, before the age of 21.
Miracle he's still playing.

Yea that's the one I think is the best. Looks athletic and willing to do the dirty work.

Solo was a Prop growing up, he's transformed to Centre

Which is why he appears to be such a focussed, hard working and humble player.

Braydon Trindall as 18th man not playing either grade. Their nsw cup halves are good and they have Tracey. Surely we could sign Trindall to be out starting half and lead a team around.

Was watching Sheens interview where he was questioning where all the hype for Bula has come from, I'm pretty sure it was from all the talk Sheens was doing about him in the preseason.

We’ve hit a new low
Our rumours are from our U/15s

Who do “TBA” play for ATM?
I haven’t seen them play.😂

Good chance you won't see them play here either.

trindall obvious replacement for hynes at origin they will not be letting trindall go. Sharks will move moylan on before trindall

I don’t think it did come directly from Sheens.
More so, it was from some dipshits on here big noting themselves after attending preseason training sessions.

If we could sign Trindall and Tracey as the halves, straight away, we look better.

 

[Tucker]

We’d be winning pretty much straight away.

What I find interesting -
Every off contract player gets some media hype around their future.

Past few days it's been Jack Wighton, before that we've had Moses, Munster and Brandon Smith speculation for ages about what they may or may not do.

There is no hype around Brooks future.
No reports that... will he go here or will he go there?
It's crickets.

There's no "Brooks was seen at Canberra airport today, or meeting with Ricky at a Woden coffee shop"

Nothing.

He has been playing like a guy who knows his future is sorted - doesn't need to impress or aim up, as there is no uncertainty.

It feels like the club has already got the paperwork sorted and Brooksy isn't going anywhere, set for life - one club legend.

Just how it appears to me on the surface - I hope I am wrong.

Or just that he's so average that absolutely no one wants to touch him with a 20 foot pole.
He's been free to sign anywhere for a while yet there's no interest...

Are you talking about Camroux? If so your very wrong about slow. He has always been one of the fastest in any competition he has played. Melinda Gainsford didn't want to personally coach for no reason. You may be right about the other stuff, I'm not sure, but I do know he has speed.

Well if he has speed it seems odd he's never shown it, never made a break or scored a try of note.

Really? That's very interesting

He has it mate. Melinda Gainsford personally wanted to train him believing he was an Olympic prospect.
I can't comment on his ability as a half outside that though. That's for people who have seen more of him.

Is that right? Sheens was actually questioning where the hype has come from????? OMG, the imbecile has forgotten he created the hype.

We have to sack this guy asap. Even if it's the inexperience of Benji that takes over, I don't care. It's like having Joe Biden as our coach with Tim. Tim Sheens must go now.

He is craving living in England, so just piss off and go back.

I don’t think it did come directly from Sheens.

What a pathetic statement.

Sheens literally said Bula was super impressive and was putting pressure on Laurie all offseason and was a superstar in the making.

No one even knew who he was until Sheens started telling anyone who would listen about how good this young fullback is

 

[balmain boy]

He played fullback, centre, wing prope and second row for Westfield

No one here ever heard of him until Sheens started telling all and sundry he is a gun.
