Ryan Cross. Yay or nay?

[A.Snowden]

the question should be can cross solve our center problems

he is old
hasnt played league in yonks
sucked at yawion
wasnt that good at league anyway

id rather see mills wright feki leutele best taga and pom get a crack

Exactly. Pretty hard to argue those points

 

[A.Snowden]

There are some union highlights on youtube that make him out to be a top player. But his age is what points me to no.

If we can get him for say 75k I'm fine with it. If we pay say 150k for him I think it's a waste. He could end up doing well running off carney so it could well be a bargain buy

Looks like a common consensus that if we sign cross we give him 75 k

So with stapo most likely goooooorne for the year wonder what this means for mr cross

 

[snowman]

id rather give mr briscoe a call

 

[Tatus]

It's a yes from me. Watched him a little bit playing union, wasn't too bad. Would be better then our current centre selections.

Any more news on a possible signing in our backline? All has been quiet for a while. Flanno mentioned he still would like an extra back to help our attack. If we aren't going to sign anyone else, what are our thoughts of maybe playing Taga as a centre. God knows we have plenty of back rowers and we could sure do with some of his tough defense.

I'd only want Taga in the centres as a last resort. It's handy to have that flexibility but whilst he hits hard he has been caught out laterally by the pacy centres in the past. Friz would be a better option in the centres IMO.

Sounds good pops, go for it!

Sounds good pops, go for it!

yeah why not - how could anyone damage this head any worse?

 

[A.Snowden]

hahaha better than Sharksters poor effort!

Yep - I've never forgiven him for missing those tackles on the fence lol

 

[Mr Ryan]

I just read he's signed with Balmain Rugby Union.

 

[Special K]

Shows the type of money he would of cost.. Still I am not upset about missing out on him. I'd rather use the money should someone be cut by their team/front load a contract

 

[ABshark]

Doubt we "missed" him... Flano obviously didn't want him. That's cool. Rather see Feki and Wright get a go anyway tbh.

So does that mean he's not even playing Sydney first grade?

 

[gosharkies]

totally agree no point in signing a average player who may block the path to first grade of some talented younger players.

I wanted him as it couldn't really hurt us at all but hopefully wright gets first crack.
