Luke Lewis

Luke Lewis to Cronulla was a done deal. He was set to put pen to paper the next day, until that night while watching television with wife Sonia, an episode of The Shire came on. Luke was compelled to see what life was like in The Shire. Nekk minute he had signed for Wests Tigers.
 
Again people, plenty of posts have been deleted in this thread. I strongly advise everyone to not post crap for the sake of it, because the next post that is spam or trolling, and this thread closes until an OFFICIAL announcement is made.

If you don't have anything CONSTRUCTIVE to post, then don't post at all. Some of the dribble that has been posted in here has been nothing short of embarrassing.
 
I hope he does sign but we have already signed Anasta, pettybourne, B Thompson amongst others, who you would expect to play in the back row. Throw in current back rowers and something has to give

If we get him i think Heigno will be as good as gone. Just a gut feeling

I was thinking the same thing. Mind you the UK isn't as an attractive option as it used to be

Would be great to have him any position if not back row you could throw him in the centres

Cronulla coach Shane Flanagan said last night that, as far as he was aware, Luke Lewis still hadn't made a decision on which club he would play for next season.

Lewis was last night shown in a Channel Nine news report house-hunting in the Cronulla district yesterday, which strengthened speculation the NSW and Australian forward will join the Sharks when his time at Penrith runs out.

But, according to Flanagan, the Sharks are still waiting to find out what Lewis is going to do.

''I would love to have something to say about Luke and our club,'' Flanagan said. ''But he hasn't done anything with us at this stage and we haven't been informed that he has done anything anywhere else. I'm sure we would be informed out of courtesy if Luke had made a decision to join a different club.

''As far as I know, he is still making up his mind.''

Lewis rocked the league world this month when he applied for - and was granted - a release from the final year of his contract with the Panthers. He is playing out the rest of this season with Penrith before moving on.

The player's manager, Greg Willett, said in the Herald on Monday he hoped a decision would be made by yesterday, but it is obviously taking longer than expected.

Cronulla, Wests Tigers, Parramatta, Newcastle and Canberra were the clubs considered to be in the running to get the prized signature, with the Sharks and Tigers favourites. Lewis has good friends at both clubs.

There are suggestions Lewis is planning to live in Cronulla even if he doesn't join the Sharks, but the sight of him looking at houses is bound to get Cronulla fans excited

This ^^^ is exactly my thoughts… If I need to relocate my family to Sydney, I would most likely head down into the shire and still commute to the CBD every day. Considering how prominant he is out Penrith, I'm sure plenty of supporters know where he lives. I'd be moving my family too if I jumped ship and went to the opposition.

The whole thing that has me slightly confused Isn't he is building a house as we speak

I don't know my way around Sydney real well , but isn't Cronulla much further away than where he is currently building ??

Then again I have preferred to live further away from work than I do

Gives you time to get work out of your system before you get home
 
Wouldn't that be a slap in the face. ''I'll live here, but i won't play here. Thanks for showing me the area Sharkies''

not in todays day and age… The Shire is a great place for a lifestyle change. I know Humpty lives down there, and I wouldnt be surprised if a few of the Tigers also live within its proximity.

Is today the day?
Come on Luke put us all out of our misery.

….press conference comes out stating Luke has signed with the NZ Warriors :roll

This could drag out a little bit longer as Lewis' manager had a death in the family.

Ryan Motzen & Highno live in the gong so its not to bad that he would relocate to the shire but it would be a hike for his wife Sonia who works at a bank in blacktown but then again it wouldnt take much to get a tranfer i suppose
