I heard 3 weeks ago that WT were circling around Collis putting the feelers out as to what his plans are.

Cronulla have been silent on whether Collis will be there next year or not.

A bloke who will be moving on from the WT organisation in 2012 told me that you can take it as Gospel that if he is not at the Sharks in 2012, the door is open for him to return to the WT in 2012.

Unless an English offer comes in.

This is all very confusing. BRET and Wests have some good three quarters. WT are yet to sign Brown and Utai. They have signed that Rugby bloke John Grant and Joel Reddy.

So whats doing with Collis ???
 
Is this club addicted to buying backs? We don't need anymore. There's enough junior backs coming through as well.

Anyway, aside from this - if we don't resign Brown and/or Utai than I wouldn't mind Collis. He reminds me a lot of Brown - he is a no fuss footballer who gets his job done. His defence and attack are adequate. He wouldn't be cost that much either so that's another positive!

Bug seeing we haven't yet signed Utai , Brown or Daniela they would be my priorities way before even thinking of Collis
 
Brown is signed for next season isn't he? I think you'll find he is.

I'd take collis back, still not convinced about our depth at center.
 
I never understood what exactly went wrong with Collis

He seemed to have all the potential in the world and was going to tear it up in the centres with Lawrence.

Hope he can pull it together because he's got the ability imo.
 
if they sign Collis they might aswell bring back John Morris.
Ayshford made more of a development in half a yr then Collis did in 5.

Brown is 10 times the player Collis will ever be
 
Brown would also cost more then collis given Brown has been a good first grader who at the tigers will be playing off the bench at the best and prob reserve grade while Collis has been mainly a reserve grader - the difference is money and what they are for
 
Show some loyalty to Brown if he isn't already signed, the bloke does his best when he gets a run and is a handy goal kicker. Unfortunately Collis just hasn't reached the potential he displayed in the early days.
 
Dean Collis had his days with wests tigers and i didnt see him go that well with us gud luck to him but were fine brown will stay and lets move on :smiley:😀
 
I rate Dene Collis as a decent player, he is very good at putting his outside man away, I cant believe he doesn't get a game at cronulla, Id take him back for sure. I think he is a much better centre than everyone we have outside the top2
 
He was way too injury prone also which although isn't his fault must come into consideration when deciding whether to resign him
Probably was the reason we let him go in the first place

Exactly rite,& the same goes for Daniella unfortunately.It mite be theyre both just too small for the rigours of 1st grade..dunno.
If were going to sign back up players,& that includes Brown & Utai,they have to be fairly robust so that theyre available when a run-on player isnt
 
He would only be signed as back up, which I don't have an issue with. Always had potential to be great but maybe didn't have the drive or arrogance to succeed
