(Archive) Depth, Development and T&T Players

Billy Burns is rubbish - he was very poor for the Dragons.
Don't get too excited.

 

[Sharkfox]

Good back up for Nikora

Min wage depth guy where we desperately needed depth. No offence to Burns I think he was a good signing and I hope we don’t see him play NRL.
If we do we’ll be glad we have him.

Not last year he wasn’t.

 

[CHOGM]

At least not entirely

If true we got him on min wage then that’s a very handy signing. Good depth with a bit of flexibility if required too.

I dunno why you would spend anything more than minimum wage when your two starters are guns. This signing also stops us having to put a middle forward there… although Hazleton hasn’t let us down yet.

Could have been partly to do with his fractured foot.

Hopefully he comes good for us.

It’s a depth signing on minimum wage. For what he offers and what we’re expecting him to be it’s a smart pick up.

 

[Sparkles]

I seem to remember him not being terrible. Think he'll surprise a few people by how well he plays for Newtown.

Gotta love when people rubbish minimum wage signings. The salary cap rules say they must sign someone, and they couldn’t have paid him any less. If he plays 3 games next year and isn’t a complete turnstile he’ll have earned his money.

Yeah pretty funny. All 30 players should be SOO standard.

Our assistants should be getting interviewed for head coaching roles every week as well apparently

I've merged the Burns and Gabrael threads in to this one.

Let's use this thread as a place to discuss guys who are part of the Sharks squad and over 21, but are yet to play an NRL game in the Black, White and Blue. Anyone still eligible for Flegg or SG Ball let's talk about in the pathways thread.

I reckon once guys get named in the 17 or take the field they can have their own thread (e.g. Atkinson's 2 minutes counts)

Here's a quick list.

Puru
Berrell
Stonestreet
Burns
Hau Tapuha
Waitere
Hosking
O'Kane
Healey
Gibbons
Rodwell

...and so on.

Yes please.

20 current SOO players, then 10 of the best juniors in the country… all promised a jersey the next season

Isn’t that the Kangaroos side?

They are at the Roosters somehow

He’s a depth signing on **** all. Not the worst player though.
