Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

I agree that no club should ever dare to buy a player that Tom Shines' lord and master has deemed unacceptable.
No club should ever trust their own opinions once his holiness Criag Bellamy has deemed them surplus.
This is the Gospel according to Shines.
So sayeth the shepherd . So sayeth the flock.

Like him or not I know Ivan Cleary was at lidcombe oval watching nsw cup player's

Probably there to make sure none of his players got arrested.

Todd…. Didn’t think you were this easy to wind up 😂

 

[BAGNF05]

tell me where you want to play him?

I’ll take Munster, Hughes and Paps thanks …

Don’t worry about the flock .,just saying Bellamy > Todd

Wishart > Hynes right now

my left nut > Hynes after missing that field goal

Don’t give your ball bag a blue jersey

Funny that there is no criticism for the Sharks overpaying for Hynes. His reported figure is around 1.2m which is very similar to Luai’s salary for for us.

I know who I’d rather have.

His kicking game lets him down. Moses and Luai are at a much higher level imo, Cleary as well.

Doubt god could get a team into the top four as often as Bellamy does. I realise that’s a roster thing too but someone’s gotta be identifying them.

I think the other factor is cap management. As Penrith has found, if you’re successful, you can’t keep them all.
Perhaps the decision wasn’t necessarily all based on skill and potential etc. Contract upgrades and other club’s offers meant he couldn’t keep them and remain within the cap. E.g. Maybe Dolphins had a war chest to throw at Bromwichs and they wanted to maximise their incomes at the end of their careers.
I think there is more that needs to be considered when analysing talent retention.

So Ivan was at Lidcombe. Says a lot.

Moses in career best form of late … he is really playing at the level of one of the best players in the comp…

Luai is playing well… but not as much talent as the likes of Moses and say Hughes … but really glad he is coming next year though …

 

[AmericanHistoryX]

Moses is on fire.

Bellamy has shown many times over he’s happy for his veterans to leave and secure a big pay day once they’ve earned that right.

Buzz has come down ill 🤧

I’d rather Benji be focused on the Roosters. There’s a reason we signed Aaron Payne.

Moses is playing fantastic individual footy but his team is last and the origin series is 1-1. Hold the praise until he’s won something.

I think what sets Romy above Hynes is all mindset. It looks like Nicho doubts himself and Romy knows he can do it which is probably half the battle at their level.

Origin jerseys give him PTSD.

Origin jerseys give him PTSD.

I reckon Semi final series do too. Maybe the Sharks need to get that Wehbe bloke in that Teddy used to love to get his head right 😜

I actually think Nicho is a better player than Romy but let’s himself down in the bigger moments / games
