Say the Sharks have around 1.275M to spend on 4 marquee signings for next season. Who do you sign? One catch, you must sign the 4 players in these divided categories.
1 player in the 400k+ bracket
1 player in the 250k-350k bracket
2 players in the 200-250k bracket
Who would you sign? Note, only off-contract players are avaliable and all storm players. Also, you cannot go over the 1.25M limit on your 4 signings. Here are my choices:
400k+ brackets- Cooper Cronk @ 600k a season for 4 years.
Cooper brings exactly what the Sharks have lacked during the last 2 seasons, a consistent leader in the halves that can carry his team and create opportunities easily. Rather than loving to take the line on like Barrett, he is more about creating the chances.
250k-350K bracket Michael Gordon @ 275K a season for 3 years.
Great goal kicker, very quick on his feet (see him gain ground when chasing Hayne.) and is entering his prime as a winger. Versatile in the fact that he can play centre.
200k-250k bracket Sika Manu @ 200K a season for 3 years & Dane Neilson @ 200K a season for 3 years.
Sika brings that impact and more grunt in the pact that is needed. He is a great metre gainer and gives 100% in every hit-up/tackle.
Neilson is a defensive specialist centre that is big and tall. Still very young and has a handy fend that has seen him gain extra meters this season.
My team for the 2011 season would then read:
1. Gardner
2. M.Gordon
3. Neilson
4. Collis
5. I.Gordon
6. Kelly
7. Cronk
8. Snowden
9. Morris
10. Douglas
11. Millington
12. Tupou
13. Gallen
14. Vave
15. Mannah
16. Sika Manu (As an impact 2nd rower to bring off Millington & Tupou)
17. Aiton
That team would reach the top 8 I think. Other names that I thought of were the likes of Adam Blair, Wade Graham, Steve Matai but I feel this is the best mix of players avaliable.
Who do you choose?
Note: We are able to spend that amount of money due to players being let go such as Baz, Ferguson, R.Williams, Covell, Bukuya, Cuthbo etc. Not to mention, the cost cutting measures should allow the club to spend a little more cash on players.
