Why the hell aren’t WE doing this !!!

Because Broncos are getting rid of virtually their entire team are so desperate to turn their club around immediately they'd be willing to spend well over 2 million dollars on 2 players to do it.

And? Why aren’t WE doing that!!!

Alright boys you heard siro, time to get rid of our entire team, doesn't matter if they have contracts kick em to the curb and sign mitch moses and kalyn ponga on 1.5mil a year each on 10 year deals.

Oh here we go. One more form warrior with no ambition and no sense of humour

You really want Mitchell Moses back? ?

Jesus Christ it’s a snapchat filter...

Seems like majority of the people that have commented on his baldy head are the ones probably spreading crap about us, or possibly that you’ve posted it on here and the media comes and looks at this trash about a baldy head.

Soon the media will say:

Roberts shaves head because he’s mentally unwell by not receiving any ball...

The snap bald filter makes you look like a barbie doll. If that pic is him with a filter on its the best damn filter i've seen thats some photoshop quality.

I’m hoping it’s not true lol...


Were is the pic?

I'd definitely extend Liddle. He offers excellent depth, and if he does want to leave, we can potentially use him as a bargaining chip just like the storm and panthers

Yes but would he agree to terms like that?

They wouldn't be the terms...

So you would pay overs for someone as a backup? I thought we were past that.

He is a certain starter at clubs going better than us, so I completely see why he would agree to whatever terms at a club at the bottom of the table that he has to fight for a starting position...

Who said anything about overs? All I said was it would be great to sign both. Liddle would be a great backup or alternatively, a great bargaining chip...

Isn't Brandon Smith a certain starter at most clubs? Aren't we allowed to follow the storm blueprint? If there was any club in the comp I'd want to mimic, it's the storm.


You are right it would be good, but its a pipe dream

We aren't a multi premiership winning constant top 8 and grand final making team.

Sharks are closing in on landing the signature of Adam Reynolds with incoming coach Craig Fitzgibbon meeting with Adam in the last 48 hours worth $2.4m for 3 yrs.

Very good signing for the Sharks. We can only dream.

After week of turmoil the Wests Tigers are making enquiries about respected Wigan and Great Britain centre Oliver Gildart. Coach Michael Maguire is an admirer of his ability.

So we're looking at second tier players again.

he is off contract 2021 so no bargaining chip he can sign wherever he likes nothing to do with the club

But as I said, if we extend him, he's not off contract

James Roberts has shaved his head so expect about 75-80% more aerodynamics this weekend.


He should get the same haircut as LL - might get the ball passed to him then

Eh Reynolds will fall off a cliff soon. He's very damaged. Souths aren't run by idiots. There's a reason they weren't willing to give him long term money. The Sharks are desperate for a win. How many broken down spine players have the Sharks signed in the last 5 years? All of them? Moylan, Dugan, Johnson and now Reynolds.

Meh meh and double meh.
 
Current squad and whether we should re-sign.

Tom Amone - Sure whatever he's on nothing and is a squaddie who cares.
Shawn Blore - We have him til the end of 2023. That's good for now. Happy with that.
Luke Brooks - We have him til the end of 2023. That's pretty lame but oh well.
MCK - Off contract. Bye MCK. (if nobody wants him and he takes min wage to be a squaddie maybe we keep him).
Zac Cini - Off contract. No brainer to re-sign. We're nuts not to have already frankly. Should offer him 2 years further and start playing him in first grade.
Adam Douehi - Signed til 2023. Fine.
Luke Garner - Signed til end of next year. Probs just keep an eye on his development.
Jackson Hastings - Signed til end of 2023. Ok.
Asu Kepaoa - Signed til end of next year. Meh. Would need big improvement next year to be re-signed imo.
Daine Laurie - Signed til end of 2023. Fine.
Joey Leilua - Signed til end of next year with reported get out clause for us. Exercise it. We need his money elsewhere.
Luciano Leilua - Also signed til end of next year. Extend now.
Jacob Liddle - Off contract this year. We appear to have put Simpkin as a priority. Some other club (Bulldogs probs) will outbid us and offer him a starting spot imo. Short odds to be the next in line to be added to the "how'd the Tigers let him go" list.
Jock Madden - Off contract at end of next year. Would look to extend tbh. He's looked great in reserve grade.
Moses Mbye - Off contract end of next year. $950k a year good lord how. Cleary needs to go to prison for theft.
Thomas Mikaele - Off contract. Jeez we better re-sign him cuz if we don't you just know he'll be next year's Isiah Papali'i.
Zane Musgrove - LOL we have him til the end of 2024. Better get used to it fam.
David Nofoaluma - Also end of 2024. No comment.
Joe Ofahengaue - Signed til end of 2023. *blows raspberries*.
Russell Packer - Off contract. Maybe he can find a contract with the Tabulam Turtle Divers or something. Get gone.
James Roberts - Off contract. Buhbye.
Alex Seyfarth - Off contract. Re-sign him. We won't find better at his price point. He has improvement to come.
Jake Simpkin - Re-signed til end of 2024. Good.
Tukimihia Simpkins - Signed til end of 2023. We shall see.
Tommy Talau - Off contract at end of next year. Needs improvement or I let him walk. By the time he'll be gone we'll have some pretty gun outside backs coming through like William Kei, Israel Ogden et al.
James Tamou - Off contract next year. Cents on the dollar to retire.
Alex Twal - Off contract next year. Probs re-sign him. Kinda meh on it though.
Stefano Utoikamanu - Signed til 2023. Probs should extend him to 2026 now. The big lad is a fiend.
Billy Walters - Gone soon.

So this year we'll be saying goodbye to Packer, Walters, Roberts and hopefully Joey Leilua. Possibly MCK, Mikaele Liddle, Cini and Amone. That's a fair chunk of cap tbh. Joey and Packer are both on hefty contracts.
