Kasiona shed some kgs last off season.

With our history of props we could make somethin of him.

As for the wade/roosters rumour. If they want him bad enough they could get him. Roosters denied any interest in fifita due to his ridiculous price tag, i doubt theyll put it all out for Wade. Theyll offer him a solid contract that we could match

Its not really. Its clubs seeing a team with quality players off contract and not much room to move cap wise. I would assume there was a bit of 3rd party sponsor money towards fifita offer.

In reality id say i wish we didnt sign Lewis or Heighno. That was a stacked position already.

Lewis was a great pick up, he and Carney are high enough profile to start building a new team around if we have to.

I just wish he hadn't crashed into that fence in England as we really need him on the field at the moment.

Gal won't have a choice where he plays.

ASADA will make sure of that :)

It's like crows picking at a carcass at the moment.
It's starting to feel like a stock crash or a run on a bank. A couple jump ship, panic sets in and the rest go when really if they'd say tight the world wouldn't have ended. Sit right Wade! Please!

Stock crashes almost always happen for a reason. It's just a matter of time til the pop.

Although I wouldn't say that we are experiencing a run at the moment. We have just failed to plan for the inevitable aging of our squad. And we stacked the squad with unnecessary old signings.

No i agree he is a good buy. But any of these veterans are costing us opportunities. Lewis is my second favourite Sharks player, but being a second rower we didnt 'need' him at the time. We do right now because of injury.

Would hate to see Wade leave.

If we can keep wade, todd, lewis, gordon together we have a good starting point for a rebuild. Then lewis retires.

Will have plenty of money when Gal gets done by ASADA.......

Speculation of course :) But I'm sure they'd have contingency plans in order in case any player in the squad does get done. They'd have to right?

Oh wait... 'Born with it'.... maybe not.

Although Heighno has battled hard for us I definitely agree that he was surplus to requirements. Flanno just loves a bargain forward when he sees one, can't help himself.

Wonder how much it costed them to feed jerseys to great white sharks. Must confess that I haven't even watched the video.
