Other Sharks Front Row Forum . Creditable Source
We have been in touch with 4 forwards, with the intension of adding 3 into our pack next year.
This is to counter the Loss of Fifita and most probably Gibbs, and also to add more to our pack.
Paul Gallen will NOT be moving to the front row.
Q: Are any of these snorks any good? Any that would be considered marquee or even pseudo marquee?
A: Yes. I rate all 4. Highly.
Q: Any backs on the whiteboards ?
A:Zero. I posted in another thread we are yet to open any talks with NRL backs.
We have approached Josh Charnley on stupid money, but that seems to have died off. (i personaly didn't see that post on this forum)
Q:following dessies lead - buy forwards
A: Not quite. Obviously the gapping hole has been left by Fifita.
With our fan base, and unfortunately, how we bring media scrutiny on ourself, I can tell you that if we signed 2 wingers, we would get hammered for not filling the Fifita void.
We will fill Fifita's position comfortably, and then move into backline territory.
We have cap space, good cap space, and everyone has a price.
1 is unlucky with injuries. I don't use the term injury prone. Just unlucky. (???)
Q: With Lichaa going and Morris likely to retire will the club see Brown as a 9 and shift him to play there to gain more experience in the position?
A: IMO, I can see Brown on the bench next year, and then take Robson's spot the year after.
I have heard the club is targetting Srama as the starting hooker, so Brown could be our utility.
