Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

@ said:
Channel 7 reported Gallen wants to play again next year, sharks are now under cap pressure, they never budgeted for Gallen. Also said Townsend not happy with Dugan signing because they told him they had no money left in the cap when he signed. Maloney also wants more, so AJ and Gray surely can't be going there, better for us though

Gallen thinking of himself and putting the Sharks under cap pressure? That wouldn't be like him.

Above is , what I believe is a guaranteed starting team.
Not sure if Fonua is going to play centre, wing or if he'll even start.
Or MWZ,..

So i believe we still have
1 x centre
1 x wing
1 x bench prop

I agree but, I think we could also use another back-rower.

For depth?
Lol…

Assuming the bench is,

14\. Liddle
15\. Sue
16\. Aloiai
17\. Avilable

Defo needs a prop there.

Here's what I was thinking:

11\. McQueen
12\. ??? (new signing)
13\. Taylor

14\. Liddle
15\. Aloiai
16\. Bench prop
17\. Lawrence

I'm not a big fan of Sue.

Sue will come good in 2018 with Packer and Matulino in the team.
Hes contracted too so he'll be in the 17 somewhere.

The team list i posted is accurate.

This is not a criticism to you because at this point i feel like this is a very realistic squad, but personally i think that is just about the worst bench i have seen in the nrl. At this stage Im praying packer and matulino play huge minutes lol

I hear ya but I feel this is very likely.
Defo need a decent signing…

17\. impact bench prop or something

16\. Aloiai - very solid. Can play second row, prop, lock. Versatile, strong, heavy hitter.

15\. Sue - again, can play lock, prop, second row. Has been a struggler this year but as mentioned, expecting to improve when surrounded by some of the kiwi big boys (as he was when we had Gavet, Taupau, etc)

14\. Liddle - game changer really.... will be a starting 80 minute hooker in 2019

Yes think sue needs to be given tap or reserve grade back up
 
Not sold on Sue either. Best in very short bursts . Is that worth a bench spot? Also a number of head knocks puts him under a cloud for mine.

Not a bad team but that would have to be the worst bench in the nrl,still need a few more players to be competative.

What do u think of this bench ?

14\. Albert Vete
15\. Agnatius Paasi
16\. Jeremy Latimore
17\. Joseph Paulo

…. There isnt a lot avilable.

Realistically our bench for next year is;
14\. Liddle
15\. Aloiai
16\. Sue
17\. Lovett / Felise / Tatola

Unless we sign some unwanted contract players.... like Eastwood
Or some off contract nuffies like Tony Williams and Jeremy Latimore.
 
Maybe we could bring back some duds we didnt want in the past?

14\. Cherrington
15\. Funaki
16\. Santi
17\. Akoaula

Or

14\. Heinington
15\. Ayshford
16\. Pettybourne
17\. Bodene
