i agree, people need to go back to being old school.

stay loyal, play with your mates. that kinda thing
This is a load of **** Snowman. Where has this got us in the Past ??? Its our turn to buy a comp. If we need to let Graham go to get at Jennings i say do it. Graham is a superstar in the making no denying that but to get a Centre of Jennings quality is once in a lifetime. What about this for a lineup next year

1/ Gordon
2/ Stapleton
3/ Jennings
4/ Best
5/ Gordon
6/ Carney
7/ Robson
13/ Smith
12/ Pomeroy
11/ Bukuya
10/ Gallen
9/ DeGois
8/ Gibbs

14/ Ross
15/ Fifita
16/ Tafua
17/ Peachey

I don't know whether to take you seriously or not. Are you tring to be a troll?? A few points.

a) Do you really want to buy a comp?? Sure we need to buy a little more talent/depth, but that's all part of recruitment. Somehow I'd prefer to see us win our first without having to resort to that extent.
b) What if we sign Jennings, lose Graham and then Jennings keeps up his current behaviour and get's the sack. Why risk that? You lose a future captain/star and sign a risk on a **** load more money. TBH I think we've got a very real crack at the premiership this year and next more so when we get Gordon.
c) Pomeroy to the back row? I definitely cannot take you seriously anymore.

For the type of coin Jennings is after I say forget about it.

Wade offers us way too much to even consider letting him go.

Loyalty is a two way street, how would you feel if Carney started shopping around?

So when we signed Carney that wasnt a risk ??? So if we signed Carney and he fell over that could of been the end of us all together. You do realise Pomeroy played more backrow at Penrith then he did at centre dont you ?? Im tipping wen they moved Fraser Anderson into the backrow in 2008 you werent happy with that either ???

I'm hoping that he wont after what the Sharks and Flano have done for him. If he does, than more people than I had originally thought have forgotten what loyalty means.

Loyalty falls back to the individual. It is gone from the game. If Carney shops around which i wouldnt blame him if he does it just would show what kind of man he is.

Carney was a risk but we weren't losing Graham for him were we. How stupid can you be... It's completely different circumstances.

Yes i was fully aware of that mate. But he's been one of the inform centres recently. Have you been watching the Shark's games? Why move him?

As for Fraser Anderson, once again, completely different circumstances. If somehow we purchased an improvement on Pom then by all means move him but at the moment there is no need to.

I do know what you mean but as a club I think we're probably more loyal towards our players than most, it's one of the things I have always liked about the sharks and I think it tends to work both ways.

Surprisingly enough I love that lineup. Pom could be the perfect replacement as a wide running backrower. No skill but could run lines.

So if we let Graham go to sign Jennings do people think we will magically be able to replace Gallen (almost 31) and Smith (33) with another quality backrower?

The mind boggles, we have a 21 year old star in the making yet people would happily get rid of him for a centre.

Crazy stuff.

I'd say in fairness if we hadn't had such a wretched time over the past few years in regards to finding a truly quality centre that people wouldn't be contemplating it.

In saying that, you are correct people are only thinking of the here and now and solving a centre issue, not the issue of when Gallen + Smith retire who takes their place.

But in fairness, how could you honestly predict who will take their spots. You only have to look at this years recruitment and the manner in which players have fallen into our lap to see how hard it is to future proof your side.

Your right but remember if this development doesnt get approved we may not be here after the next two years. In my opinion we have 85% of a premiership winning side. With the introduction of Jennings and Gordon it may be the recipe to win the premiership now.

I think it’s pretty easy to predict who will take one of their spots if we don’t let him go. This is why you buy players and develop them as we have done with Graham.

I’m not saying I don’t want Jennings. I’d take him if the price was right and we didn’t need to let Graham go.

You can’t go around recruiting with the mindset that we won’t be around in two years.
