But I believe he only got the origin gig because of his Bulldogs half partner. He didn't demand the 7

Ha perhaps. But he was still there and he played fine.

He's no supastar and I'm not particularly sold on him being our best option but this nonsense about he and Robson being the equivalent at the same age... its that, nonsense. Bias and exaggeration leading to more bias and exaggerated views.

That's a forum I suppose.

Robbo offered more in his 20's .

So we could have kept Chad for what, 250-300k and flicked Robbo? But no, we let him go and try and get him back for 400k. Good work, Sharks.

So what? We re-sign him 2 years ago for that, then this time around if he was anygood we'd still be paying 400k again.

Yeah probably. Who do you think would have been more useful to us though? Chad isn't the answer but at least he can kick.

100% HB .
My 90 year old aunty can kick .
But like Chad slow as a wet week ..
They had a sprint off between Chad and Robbo for the first grade spot .
Robbo stayed at half .

I have heard not sure how reliable the "sauce" is but Stacey Jones has really mentored Chad over the off season. Maybe that is why we are seeing improvements.

If that is the case then I doubt he would have improved much if at all here .

I also don't think hodkinson is the answer and I think coming here would highlight the short comings in his game.
We need a half that can create. Ennis can direct from 9 but a player with flair such as sezer or sandow would take that 'big play' pressure off barba and allow him to unlock his game.
For what it would take to get him here he is not worth it. I'd rather throw a mil at sezer than 800 at hodkinson.

I really like what I've seen of elgey also, looks to have all the skills just a few nerves stopping him from unlocking them In the top grade. Hopefully he sees a bit longer in first grade to show his worth.

Sezer is the one boys.

If we were to go after a rookie again I'd put the Cornish name forward, he's the one with the boot that we'd need. But Sezer has to be the one we look to sign, surely.
