Arona's gunna have a tough time getting back his 80 min bench warming position after this signing

Arona is never really going to make any real impact as a first grader, maybe time for both parties to look elsewhere

he's not but he's a capable bench player and won't let you down if he's called upon every now and then.

People need to realise you need depth in your squad to go well. Every signing can't be a super star so players like arona are good to have as depth. Of course you wouldn't want him to be a top 17 player every week but if he gets a fist full of games of the bench due to injury it's not the end of the world

 

[HaroldBishop]

Still a rumour but it's being talked about as a done deal, and let's face it, who wouldn't want out of that club?

I ran past Tapau a few weeks ago at North Sydney. Wanted to ask him about the rumours but he was with I'm assuming his partner and kid so didn't bother him. He's a bloody big unit though.

The great teams dont lose anything with their bench forwards but we would be losing abit with him as a bench player. If he was a reserve grader and called upon when injuries occur then maybe he is worth that.

 

[D.D]

Good signing! This guy absolutely fired up against us in our last match against the sea bogans. Absolutely hated him!! always a good sign for a signing when you hate them for destroying your own team!

He is a monster, and he runs like a back. Watching him last year made me think we should play Fifita at 13.

Don't tell flanno that he will put him in the centres

 

[Western Sharkie]

What's the G O?
Injured or suspended?
Not named to play again this weekend, but can't find anything about him being injured and I don't recall him being on report round 1

 

[sharks2010]

He warmed up with the team on sunday

 

[Proud Shark]

He warmed up with the team on sunday

I'd wondered if that was just incase there may have been an injury, but with him not named again this week it has to be something more.
Starting to look like he can't get a start in either side. Is there anywhere else he can play beneath reserves or does it drop to 1st grade park?
Would be nice to know a bit more regarding whats going on there.

 

[sharks2010]

He can play in the local a grade competition but if it was something more he wouldn't be warming up with the first grade squad. Just cause he isn't named in either side this week doesn't mean he won't play

Who knows with flanno maybe he had all intentions to play him last Sunday but a niggling injury to a back forced him to keep beale on the bench, who bloody knows with him hahaha

 

[snowman]

its pointless not naming him and only having him warm up

loses match fitness, doesnt get the muscle memory fatigue provides ect

he should be named to play for newtown and should play for newtown

 

[Tank]

Thought this bloke was purchased to add some oomf to our pack and some x factor etc. Hard to do that when you don't get a start in 1s or reggies. Let him play FFS

who does he replace paulo or bukuya?

 

[Tank]

Mate id just be happy at this point if he played reggies just so he gets a run and keeps some match fitness up. If he had to play 1st then id say Paulo. (although he wasn't awful last week)

 

[deano the p]

Yep it's stupid to not have him playing any grade.

 

[vicsharkfan]

If he didn't get a run with no gal or heino I wonder when his time will come, probably if Ricky starts to tank it, weird if it's a outside back keeping him out of the team.

 

[Sir Chadley]

Relax guys, I've emailed Flanno to ask him so I should have the answer soon for you all.

 

[ABshark]

Pretty obvious that he was 18th man and the Jets played before firsts so didn't play either grade. Will probably play reggies this week.
