Never heard of Gagan but with him and Simona I'm glad we're gettign some younger backs into our squad, sounds like from Flannos comments that he's certainly going to be considered for a spot.

Anyone know much about him ?

Jacob Gagan is just the sort of winger/centre we need. Fast and elusive. Our backs are looking a lot better for the future just need a gun now to challenge in 2014/2015 but between Gagan, Simona, Brown and Holmes the future is looking better.

CRONULLA Sharks have brought back the old and introduced the new for their outside backs in 2014 with the signings of former Origin star Eric Grothe jnr and Manly’s promising Jacob Gagan.

Sharks coach Shane Flanagan seemed as excited about nabbing the tall Gagan as he is about the comeback of the guitar-playing Grothe after three years out of the game.


On Gagan, Flanagan said the youngster had ‘‘unlimited potential’’.
‘‘He is an Australian Schoolboys representative still eligible for Under 20s ... but he’s too good for that group,’’ he said of Gagan, an Eel junior, who will train with the Sharks NRL squad.

I know nothing about him but this sounds encouraging.

I don't think he will be an instant superstar like a Simona or TVS but he will be a really good back and can improve a lot.

good signing, very highly rated the last five years
wing or fullback extremely quick
flanno is incorrect he is too old for 20s next season
wouldn't surprise me at all if he beats feki and grothe for that left wing spot

Probably sees a better opportunity with us. He's still an under 20's player at this stage though. Wouldn't have been signed for the top squad but says will train there as the sharks do each year with a few of the rated u20's players.

Article says he is still eligible but just had a look on eagles website. Says born 1993 so yeah is too old next year. Articles wrong.
