He can be as frustrating as he wants as far as I'm concerned - was good enough to help us win (or at least, not bad enough to cause us to lose)Haha, obviously love that side, but I can't remember being as frustrated by a player. He was just simultaneously so big and such a pea heart at times.

Will be remembered for scoring the 7th tackle try against Cowboys in semifinal.Reni Maitua - was pretty crap for us on the park and turned out to be a shithead off the field
Even if Beau was a wanker he wasn't a terrible wing/centre and did ok for us and let's not lie alot of fans liked the Sharks getting some profile from Beau being at the club and initially at least it was mostly positive. There wasn't alot else going for the club brand wise around that time.

This. I had always hated Barrett (how could a Sharks fan not?) and the fact that we kicked Kimmorely out for him is icing on the cake.Barrett Springs to mind
I loved Barrett at the Steelers, not so much once they merged.This. I had always hated Barrett (how could a Sharks fan not?) and the fact that we kicked Kimmorely out for him is icing on the cake.
The next year, Kimmorely took the Dogs to the prem final. Cronulla finished second last, only dodging the wooden spoon thanks to for and against.

He was great before he came to us. Our contract was like a working retirement planI loved Barrett at the Steelers, not so much once they merged.

Another fair shout - throw in some extra scrutiny down the line with some preseason misbehaviour in NZ although not alone (by quite a bit) in that, still raised the profile of the bad pressThis ones easy for me. Matty Johns. Nothing against him personally or his legacy on the game but signing him indirectly cost us a Preston Campbell/Brett Kimmorley halves combination which I still feel would of been one of the best in competition. I know Noddy’s signing was the tipping point for Presto leaving but imagine if we hadn’t signed Johns first and just signed Noddy. Still a spot for Campbell in the team.
Again, I dont hate Matty and his Sharks stint being cut short by injury was a case of bad luck, but I just cant help but think what might of been if Campbell wasnt forced out.
Beau was okay, and like you say, had other value.Beau was a mediocre player at best, only managed to get first grade contracts due to his media profile.
He was signed with us for a reason, to give us some goodwill in the media during the ASADA shitstorm.
I guess off the field he helped, if you can stand him that is.
Didn’t he come across in a package with Heighno… or was it with Gibbs?Beau was a mediocre player at best, only managed to get first grade contracts due to his media profile.

Tigers needed to offload Gibbs (2012) so we fleeced them by getting them to throw in the young Tongan/Indigenous kid tooDidn’t he come across in a package with Heighno… or was it with Gibbs?
If he came with Heighno I reckon you just consider him a free set of steak knives.
