I wouldn't argue in we got DCE just I'd prefer Foran more for consistency

elaborate?

 

[CrankyShark]

I cant understand sharks fans wanting to pick up a 5/8... not having a go, just wondering why you would want a 5/8 when we have barba?

Barba back to fullback when Gordon retires. Aside from anything, can Barba kick? I reckon Foran will likely be better value for money than DCE. DCE sounds like he is going to break the bank.

and what of valentine holmes then?

 

[CrankyShark]

and what of valentine holmes then?

yes he is hot stuff, but unproven compared with Barba as yet.

 

[HaroldBishop]

Lunacy.

 

[ABshark]

DCE and anyone for what its worth. I like Napa and so does Gal - reckon we will have a dabble.

But I'm eager to see how Tracey develops next year too.

In the few games I watched manly play this year, seems to me DCE want missing and foran was the dominant player

DCE was the top half back in the nrl and has been for 2 years now, I think that is consistent enough but each to their own

I hope we don't spend money on another 5/8

You want to base our recruitment decision of one marquee player over another based on an opinion gathered from only a 'few games'?

As I said iv got no problems if we get him was just answering the question on who I would like here

 

[sharks4ever]

From the lurker so take it as a grain of salt

@DingoErnie are sharks announcing new signings and if they are who? Heard SKD maybe be one of them?

The Lurker: They still have a little money to spend and have several players in their sights - with SKD at the top of the list. Roosters will release him - if they get Ferguson.

 

[Great_White_Shark]

I would take DCE and JWH

 

[Gards]

Ruptured Achilles is like 6 months if nothing goes wrong during recovery. Better to do it now than at the start of next season I guess, might return back-half of next season.

They reckon 9 months and pretty much his season is gone

I don't wish serious injury upon any player but I LOLed when I heard of Darius injury. Eat **** bennet

 

[vicsharkfan]

To darius's credit just watched fox sports, and if ever he could have been a dick with a camera stuffed in front of him, he wasn't answered all the questions asked, hopefully he has grown up

9 months from now worse case. Should be back mid season

 

[Western Sharkie]

9 mths from now is August.
Then he needs to get match fit before he can play.
I'd be very surprised to see him next year.

Carney did his achillies in september 2012 and was back march 2013

Darius should be back for Origin

And kicked a 40-20 with his first touch of the ball didnt he?

 

[SharkShocked]

Just depends on severity and how the rehab goes.

Took Hodges 12 months....

 

[Long Suffering Sharkie]

I must admit...I got some pleasure in a schadenfreude sort of way when I read about Boyd - but it wasn't about Boyd himself - more about Wayne Bennett as I always felt that he was over-rated when he was coaching the Broncos the first time round. He had the whole of Queensland to choose from to win his 6 premierships and the Broncos' salary cap was rorted big time back then.

Now he is almost regarded by the Brisbane club as the Messiah who will bring the Broncos another premiership - getting rid of Hoffman and Barba to use Boyd has backfired on him big time.
