I think we need Gillett and Lowe, to replace Lewis and Heighno

I'd also give Gal one more year

That would be boss...massive upgrade

while that would be amazing to get those two, that's a considerable amount of increase in salaries that would be used to swap those two players out for gillett and lowe

 

[Sutty]

$750k wtf. He's not a half.

 

[goodbyepenrithhellosharks]

$750k wtf. He's not a half.

how much are we paying lewy and gal .....they would not be cheap. most contracts will rise 50 to 100k this year you would think with bigger salary caps kicking in

 

[sharks2010]

$750k wtf. He's not a half.

that's why he isn't get paid 1+ million a year

 

[Sutty]

If we're willing to put up those figures, I wonder how much the Titans could offer assuming the NRL foots the bill.

They still have to operate within the cap.

 

[Sutty]

Yeah but look at their list, how much of the cap are they actually spending on those numpties. :No:

Pretty interesting though, least we are targetting a go-er and not a bludger.

 

[hitman124]

Broncos will offer him 400 on the books, plus another 350 in third party.

Gillet or Lowe + segy= sexy recruiting
We all prefer gillet but possibly more chance Lowe.. Great not being the black sheep of league anymore.

 

[Sutty]

Yeah absolutely. I'd be stoked with Lowe as well. He's a real good player, him and Cooper are like the dynamic duo up there.

We will end up with rochow and mitch rein haha

So weird hearing Gal speculate on the Club's signings/salary cap etc. Especially the bit about the Club not being able to keep both him and Lewy.

On Gillett: get him if we at all can. He's a wonderful player and would suit our style as well as anyone in the game.

 

[ABshark]

Also - Gillett and Lowe play the same position. Both could play tight but it would be a waste. One or the other IMO.

 

[Sutty]

I'm not sure, Gillett can probably play lock. Wasn't that whole thing about playing Parker in the props for that season because they wanted Gillett in the middle?

Not a lock imo, not these days anyway.

 

[Sutty]

Yeah you are probably right. Both are workhorses that can probably handle the defense in the middle (Lowe basically defends at lock to compensate for Taumalolo bludging) but you'd want both on the right edge in offense.

could play graham tight with lowe and gillett on the edges

Can't see us getting both though

Yeah he can, has done for Qld. But as I said, it would be a waste.

IIRC the Parker to prop thing was to fit all the backrowers in Thaiday, Glenn, Gillett and possibly Te'o.

 

[CrazyMatt]

Do we have any young back rowers coming through? Maybe we only need one of them, preferably Gillett. Gillett replaces Lewis, promote from within to replace Heino. Maybe JFS onto the bench? Paulo? Moratis?
