Anyone know which International forward Buzz is talking about as being in discussions with Sharks. He says it's not Finucane.

Andrew Fifita

Rumour is that its Burgess.

I may have started the rumour though.

I may have started the rumour though.

His playing days are long since gone and he didn’t play NRL.
Good stats man though and can analyse a game but I doubt we’re signing Burgo.

Not a rumour but hopefully Fitz is in the ear of Finnucane this week, he should tell him Nicho needs a surfing buddy in the Shire.

I read or seen a TV snippet last week where George Burgess is eyeing a return to the NRL, at the right price & have the contract incentivised he wouldn’t be a bad pick up to get.

Some other forums claiming Kikau?

**** I hope not. Epitome of flat track bully. Id be okay with Tapau for decent value but it would have to be closer to half the 800k he wanted earlier in the year.

At the risk of beating a dead horse, TPJ fits the bill. International and one year on contract. Please and thank you.

Is very good at passing a HIA though ….

I reckon I could handle a 6 minute stint in the middle: 3 each side of half time. I’d be a perfect fit in Hannay’s bench rotation system.

Tell Mooney I’m open to negotiations.

Mate that's 6 mins more than I would last. I would self HIA running out if the tunnel

How can anyone take “the mole” seriously when they make the most basic of errors?

Fifita MAY yet leave, so the mole MIGHT get lucky on that, but Townsend played in the 7 (halfback) not 6 (five-eighth).
Such a basic thing I know but just adds fuel to the fire that the mole has NFI so how do you consider anything else they write?

The Mole: Sharks circle Connor Watson as latest signing for new coach Craig Fitzgibbon
Cronulla are considering making talented Knights utility Connor Watson their next big-name signing for 2022.

When the Knights are at full strength, Watson is their No.14 and the former NRL Nines player of the tournament understandably wants a starting role.

Watson has a close relationship with incoming Sharks coach Craig Fitzgibbon - the pair were together at the Roosters for several seasons.

The versatile Watson can play almost anywhere in the backline and as well as hooker.

But his preferred position is in the halves and with Chad Townsend going to the Cowboys and question marks over the futures of Matt Moylan and Shaun Johnson, there could be a spot there for him under Fitzgibbon.

The Sharks have already signed two handy players in Nicho Hynes (Storm) and Cameron McInnes (Dragons) and will have plenty of money to spend for next year with Andrew Fifita, Josh Dugan, Townsend, Johnson and several other players set to leave the club.


TOWNSEND MAY JOIN COWBOYS EARLY

Still on Townsend, he may find himself in Townsville sooner rather than later.

His contract doesn't kick in until next year but he is currently playing for the Sharks' feeder club Newtown.

The Sharks are prepared to let him move early - if the Cowboys can arrange a suitable player swap.

The two clubs are currently looking at their options.

The Cowboys are struggling for direction in the halves and recently allowed the much-improved Jake Clifford to go to Newcastle.

Townsend is a premiership-winning five-eighth who would give coach Todd Payten leadership and a kicking game.

So Watson doesn't want to play from the bench but supposedly wants to come here. Rightio.
