I refuse to get excited about this, this article seems to be a "re hashed" article w/ slight or suttle changes to cetain words, it happens all the time.
Most recently at the end of last season when Damien Irvine was either being quoted in print or on radio getting interviewed saying the sharks were after some "big fish/ origin/ test players" & our prospects were looking good getting them over the line to the Sharks.
Reality was we got one player & that was Jeremy Smith who I was quite happy with, what gives me the s*#*s is we only got the one player when I (& I'm thinking others as well) were led to believe there was more than just Jeremy coming.
I am probably being paranoid but I believe the Sharks Club have a history of doing this (getting the fans excited believing things are happening with us getting some new gun players).
Again reality is we got J. Smith, W.Graham, C.Best & J.Williams as our "major" off season recruits. While I think our squad is stronger in 2011 than 2010 it pisses me off to think that the Sharks Club hierachy wont think that we the fans dont remember what they had us leading to believe when they told us we are right in there with a good chance as any club in securing some gun rep players.
I probably sound negative which I dont want to but as I said earlier it gives me the craps that we are being fed the same sort of thing year after year.
I would be so much happier if they had of just said late last yr we have so much money & with that money we are after or can afford one quality player with either origin or test experiance (J Smith) & the rest of our signings will be a good up & coming junior (Wade) & a couple of first grade experiance journey men (C Best & J Williams).
Just be honest Sharkies hierachy, we the fans would much prefer this.
Time will tell in the season leading up to 2012 whether or not any of these "world class players" will be arriving at the Sharks for the start of season 2012?
