Been posted that we have 4 remaining from 2011.Should/lf they are sanctioned, sure looks like we could field a great side anyhow.Crap load of players contracts run out in 2014 in the nrl.Should we keep the brass for some of them and negotiate before june 2014?

I was thinking about this.

People have been going on about how ASADA could ruin the Sharks season, but really it would only damage our backrow and we've got good depth in that department. Ideally I would rather us lose no players to suspension, but even if we do I think we'll still make the top 8.

We could potentially lose:

Gallen
Tupou
Graham
Gardner
Leutele
J. Morris
Tagatease
Stapleton
Vave

That would ruin our season.

This is what the Telegraph reckons (grain of salt)

Kennedy's fate is set to be announced before that of the 14 players who participated in Cronulla's controversial 2011 supplement program: Paul Gallen, John Morris, Ben Pomeroy, Wade Graham, Nathan Gardner, Nathan Stapleton, Stewart Mills, Jayson Bukuya, Anthony Tupou, Matt Wright, Jeremy Smith, Kade Snowden, Luke Douglas and Albert Kelly.

So there are a few that don't seem to be a concern, for what ever reason. If we don't have a horror run with injuries we'll be weakened, but ok from a team point of view. only 4 of those players make our best squad. But knowing us, we'll have half the remaining team topple over with season ending injuries in week 2.

I recall Leutele and Tagatese being cleared as Leutele spent most of that period in the lower grades and Taga came to us mid season.

Well if we lost all those players we'd replace them with some players. LOD just announced his retirement, so we could get him for starters. try and lure him out

Backs: Grothe, Ayshford, Gagan and Simona (when fit)

Halfs: Holdsworth, Walsh

Props: D.Fifita, Robinson, Coates, Roqica

Our depth wouldn't be too bad, we would just be extremely thin with second rowers.

Didn't someone say a few weeks ago that Manumalealli signed elsewhere?

ask your sources... or you could check the sharks website...

I don't think Roqica played centre?

He's played prop I' sure of it as he usually subbed for Fifita/Taufua

pays you not to think. he was a centre at the tigers, and a 2nd rower with us, and fiji in the world cup

Yeah but these players would more than likely be the dregs.
