Really hope Gagan holds the wing spot, showed great strength and awareness for the try line.

i think the problem here is todd.
carney begged robbo to stay. he had his bags packed. sharks offered him a small deal compared. Robbo wanted to finish up his career in the nrl but wanted the $ too. in the end stayed on a small deal. todd wanted him for his 'calming'. now todds gone and robbo is 2 years older i dont think jeff will see another yellow envelope with cronullas stamp on it.
there is that light at the end of the tunnel. its a shame we almost have a premiership worthy side right now

Am i the only one that thinks we're all jumping the gun here a bit?
I can't help but be excited for what potentially could be but i think deep down we are all fearing that
1. There will be no Holmes (not necessarily the worst case, however) or Gagan (should be handed the 5 jersey for life imo) come round one
2. M.Brown will be in the run on squad in round one
3. We don't have a decent no.7

Cronulla Sharks set to offer Daly Cherry-Evans richest pay day in NRL history
Cronulla is in the process of putting forward a mammoth offer for Daly Cherry-Evans which would make the star halfback the highest-paid player in NRL history.
Having just secured the services of Ben Barba from Brisbane, the Sharks are now attempting to prise his close mate from Manly on a seven-figure-per-season deal. Some of the cash Cronulla freed up from sacking Todd Carney has been spent on securing Barba, although the Broncos will continue to pay part of the former Canterbury fullback's wages as part of his release. However, there are still funds available for a marquee player and the war chest is likely to grow should the wooden spooners opt against re-signing a number of players coming off contract at the end of 2015.
Barba and Cherry-Evans are close mates from their days playing junior football in Mackay and the signing of the former increases the chances of the latter following suit. It was even reported that Barba stayed with 'DCE' in Sydney when he was nutting out the final details of his Cronulla contract.
Cherry-Evans and Sea Eagles halves partner Kieran Foran are off contract at the end of next year and will be the most sought-after players on the open market. The Gold Coast are keen to tempt Cherry-Evans back to Queensland, while Parramatta, Canterbury and the Roosters are the clubs most likely to shift Foran from Brookvale. Sea Eagles chairman Scott Penn has stated his intention to secure their services long term before Christmas but few clubs will be able to compete with the financial package the Sharks are offering Cherry-Evans.
The Maroons star is tipped as a future captain of his club and country and the Sharks believe a scrumbase pairing with Barba would be one of the most lethal in the game. Jeff Robson, also off contract at the end of the year, has been a solid performer for the Sharks in recent times. However, he will turn 33 next year and may struggle to gain another NRL deal.
Manly coach Geoff Toovey hoped his international halves pairing would remain at Brookvale. "As you can see here, it's a great environment to play and train away from the field as well," Toovey said. "The continued success we've had over the last few years adds to that as well.
"I am sure the club is active in securing them going forward. They are a great two players and I'm sure there will be plenty of clubs going after them."
Toovey hoped the fact there was now one controlling owner at the club would increase the chances of the Foran and Cherry-Evans staying. "I think it doesn't do any harm, that's for sure," Toovey said. "Players these days, particularly those younger superstars coming through, are very educated when it comes to those sorts of things. They know the best they can do for themselves is perform and that's what we've done here. I think every person, whether he be working on the council down the road, wants to make sure his job is secure. It's a good thing if we can do that going forward"
Sea Eagles skipper Jamie Lyon was also hopeful the halves would stay put. "With those two guys, it's going to be hard to keep them," he said. "There's going to be a lot of clubs trying to get them and rightly so, they have put in some good years with their footy for Manly in the last couple. It will be hard to keep them but I'm sure the club will do everything they can to keep them here."

Yep, wait for the warm fuzzy feel good story that they will both accept less money to stay with their mates.. Nudge nudge wink wink. Look for brown paper bag sales to go through the roof in manly.

I won't believe DCE is coming here until I see him signing on the dotted line and being paraded around in Sharks colours. To me this is another attempt by the media to sell more papers and create drama.
Yes we're probably tabling an offer, we'd be mad not to, but I think the chances are extremely slim.

Holmes has to be in the side. Kid scores 3 tries in 5 games beside the worst team we could put on the park. This would roughly equate to 15 tries for the season if he played that long. How many backs have scored 15 tries in Sharks colours over the last 10 years?
