Mansour should be our number one target on the wing.has a few errors in his game but has raw talent and the only person on our roster with raw talent is holmes.
Mansour on a long deal will be a perfect because he can improve heaps more and at the stage he is now he is better than our back 5

With those two this could be our backline:

Gordon
Feki
Mansour
Leutele
Korobeite
Carney
Robson

No room for Beau.

Yep Snowman, everyone here is looking for something to talk about, but it's still a dumb idea for Gallen to be shooting his mouth off, and even worse if it was made up on the spot. It would smack of selfishness to be inventing **** about his team on the fly to fill his quota of airtime. Kind of in the same way as at the start of the season, where he decided to switch training regimes and get fit for the ring instead of preparing to play NRL...

I'm not saying he doesn't deserve his Sharks hero status for what he's done for the club over the years, but you don't see a lot of current players treating their team or even their sporting profession the way Gallen is at the moment.

How would you feel if it were Todd Carney acting the same way?

**** you ****s read way into things... i dount gallen believes anything that comes out of his mouth in that instance

they put him on the spot and said how do you fix it, he gave an example, probably one of many that he could of said

i dont think he does, like, he isn't a must in the team

but still, it would be nice to sign those 2 and then have a problem to deal with.

I would take Mansour but personally other then being really quick Koro does not have a lot going for him IMO. Dodgy under the high ball, bad defender and he is often not where he should be in attack.

koroibete is ruthless on his kick returns, he is uate like running back

dodgy under the high ball, yeh sure, no worse than our backs though. he got hammered by carney one night but thats as bad as it gets.

put it this way, if we had the choice of koroibete or jono wright on our wing for the rest of the year, i would take koro in a heart beat

i would also like him for a few more years to see how he develops

Hanging around tigers fans can cloud my judgement on their players. If he comes and brings 2012/13 form with him sweet but he is not that player atm but yes he is better then Stapo,Jono,Blake.

Toddy Payten seemed to be able to get him to work hard and had him firing in the 20's it might be a coach thing?

If he's only going to cost what S14 said (I think ~130?) then I don't think we have anything to lose by taking a punt on him and showing someone like Stapo the door.

Worst backline in the comp. Beggars can't be choosers. Sign him up. Hopefully Simona recovers well and has his brothers talent.

Simona is not his brother, will be a good back but he doesn't have the same footwork or speed.

sounds good because really mansours hands are his biggest problem, could become a great centre. as to your comment about koro over wright its a no contest but prefer stappo in reserve grade over Wright just so I never see him

gordon
koro
leutele
mansour
ryan
Carney
brown

as first graders next year and reserves

holmes
gagan
feki
ayshford
stappo
penani
Holdsworth

id be very happy with that . This way we are grooming feki into a centre and our depth are actual genuines first grand contenders
