Officially signed. Didn't see this coming. Happy, not overly happy though.

[deano the p]

I'm happy with the signing but could be happier. Hopefully he lives up to his potential here.

 

[shark 101]

was very good in 2011 but has been average every other year. a decent signing

 

[snowman]

crap signing. we already have jono wright

 

[shark 101]

he is an upgrade on pom, all marquee outside backs managers are going to tell their players not to come here with robson at halfback for the next two years and our park football gameplan

Do managers really do that?

 

[Gow's Scissors]

Awful signing. No way he wanted to come here. He has been sold off. Fk

 

[hamsy44]

meh may go better here may not. Hoping more signings to come.

This is my thoughts exactly. We already have a #2 centre, we need a #1 centre. Unfortunately I don't ever see Ayshford being this.

Though with that said, it's better to have 2 #2 centres rather then a #2 and a reserve grade centre.

You're a twat

You seem to have a fetish for #2's

So what you are really saying is, they are all ****!

 

[rahnos]

I hope that tigers are paying a truckload of his contract so he is effectively being bought at a reserve grader price, if not **** signing

How do you know he wasn't signed on the cheap?

 

[mattaus]

Disappointed we signed him.

Will be much more diappointed if this allows them to keep Simona

 

[SJTB]

I think he could be good, remember, tigers are all over the place at the moment.

Its hard to play in that team when benji is misfiring. Look at the form of the tigers drop. A centre isnt going to change that.

I reakon he will go better than ok with TC and co.

 

[slide rule]

Was he on the market for next year or was this done by negotiation with the Tigers?

 

[rahnos]

How do you know he wasn't signed on the cheap?

Do you not understand what I said? If tigers are paying most of his contract good signing, if we are paying near what the tigers had him on, bad signing

 

[ET19]

Would have preferred Sam Williams

 

[Ibanez]

I'm alright with this signing. I haven't seen enough of Simona to be convinced he's the player everyone makes him out to be, but I've watched Ayshford play since his U20 days and I know what he's capable of. He's struggled in form over the past couple years, though I'll say a big contributing factor to that is how sporadic the Tigers have been on and off the field.

We needed a centre. Ayshford is a good centre, and an obvious upgrade on what we already have. I highly doubt we're paying big money for him, so I don't see the need for doom and gloom.

Welcome to the Sharks, Blake!
