They made it on 2 games.
Hunt and Talakai both had disrupted pre seasons last year and this.

So Talakai's full season of being a standout on the Jets and his performance/attitude/work-rate in the 4+ months of pre-season had nothing to do with it? Just the trial games?

Anyone else get a sharks email yesterday afternoon titled "new sharks signing" or something of the like?. It had nothing to do with a signing in the actual email however.


Read it just a minute go. Figured if there was a new signing it'd be here so closed their confusing **** & here I am.

I thought it was pretty engaging. I haven’t been a member for a couple of years now but I reckon I will this year. The clubs been kicking ass lately, may as well reward them with a couple of bucks.

If they just said every new member's cash would go straight to the Bellamy fund, I think we'd see record numbers

Story in the Tele this arvo saying Jahrome Hughes was going to Warriors but the interesting bit was that Sharks offered him more than $700K. WTF?

Sharks making an announcement at 9:15 on Feb 26
Pretty sure Craig Bellamy goes to Feb 26 every year, sounds like we should lock it in

That’s interesting. Would that mean that Hamlin could play for us without us offering him a contract?

Theoretically
ATM sounds like he has a contract with Jets and train and trial with us* so it would fit with that but how it works with approval, salary etc remains to be seen.

*it looks like possibly train and trial with us may have been in place prior to the trial, based off Eels not having enough eligible players for their trial so they got exemption for three ineligible players.

Not surprised he's getting those kind of offers. Played well last year at 7 for Storm and has played decent there at fullback too.
Young, Storm system, spine player
Gotta pay a bit more to pry him away from Storm.

Who knows what the 'interest' from us looked like? Kinda seems like we are dropping a call to any half decent players off contract and maybe that's all it is. Manager said 700k a year and he's yours and we said 'oh, 700k?... nah'

Article also suggests his preference may be to stay in the halves which would mean retaining him means either not keeping SJ or perhaps looking at an SJ/Hughes combo and hoping we could move on Chad.
We can't really tie up 1.2 million in Hughes and Chad at halfback.
Can't say at 700k I'm super interested in him as a fullback either.

Good player, what we need ,but at $400k. Just hope we not!

No harm in trying but let’s be honest there’s not a great deal of halfbacks around and he’s come off a very good season and won a comp. Easily worth more than 400k imo

I like the Sharks going after him but for what position? Who misses out or do we want him at fullback?
