Sharks to offload backline player before season start?

Rumours are rife that Cronulla Sharks will try to offload a backline player to a rival NRL franchise before the season is too old.
Cronulla News believes talks between the Sharks and one other non-Sydney club began last week.

Loots to the Titans

Won't be Poly ET, he's one of Flanno's favourites. Better not be Beale.

 

[sharks2010]

Why offload anyone and if it's anyone but ricky it's ****ing laughable

Bet you its ****ing Beale haha

 

[sharks2010]

It's probably barba or feki

 

[HaroldBishop]

If it is Barba I hope he carves up at his new club.

 

[Harty]

Better not be anyone but poly et. Beale is all class, barba ****s on bird, feki has been our most consistent back for the past 2 seasons

Ricky is the only one I'd be keen to move but even then I'd rather have him as depth.

 

[Thresher]

I don't think it will be Ricky.

Better not be Barba.

 

[evertonshark]

Mitch brown hopefully

 

[deano the p]

Better not be any of:
1 Barba
2 Holmes
3 Bird
4 Beale
5 Feki

That's easily our best back line.

 

[Tiger Shark]

1 Barba

Tend to agree. The player I'd be most happy with would be Brown, then Leutele. Anyone else doesn't make sense, even then I'd want to keep Leutele for depth.

I hope they've ran the idea past Lyall...

 

[Tank]

Knowing Flanno its probably Maloney!

 

[HaroldBishop]

Mitch brown hopefully

Forgot about him. Good call.

 

[Sir Chadley]

Mitch brown hopefully

I wouldn't think any club would take him - has broken ribs as well.
As usual my thinking has me thinking the worst and it's probably Barba.

Yeah, I guess you'd think that the 3 most likely scenarios (if there's truth in the article) would be:

1. Club is making room in their cap and they are well covered for the position

2. Player is unhappy or has extraordinarily good offer

3. Club or coach don't like the player's ability or attitude.

If it is number 1 option you'd think it would be Barba because he'll be costing us quite a bit under the cap in the future. I'm not sure what sort of money Beale is on.
