[BurgoShark]

Xerri's contract will be terminated. 4 Year suspension ending 25 November 2023

Hopefully this means Ferris will be promoted/upgraded very soon.

Where’s the pommy guy who got on the bag and has been playing for Newtown?
Thought he got promoted?

Nope. He didn’t. He’s on a Newtown contract. I think there was just some speculation from the forum that he looked OK in the first trial and might be worth a look.

Not a pom either btw. He’s an Aussie who was playing in the UK

Think snowman claimed he had something. Not beyond the realm of possibility as I think otherwise he’d be only guy at that trial without any kind of sharks contract and he was training with them in full kit in lead up, but hasn’t been anything to confirm and I’d have thought there would be by now

 

[BurgoShark]

Might have just been a short term train and trial. He hasn’t appeared in training pics since, but other T+T guys have (e.g. Monty)

Thanks for the info buddy. I thought he looked the goods in the trials.

Stick with the HazelNut, better player.

[Sir Chadley]

Burgo just a question here.

With the rumour of us signing Will Chambers does this mean we could still get him for this year and be in our Top 30 still?

 

[snowman]

Think snowman claimed he had something. Not beyond the realm of possibility as I think otherwise he’d be only guy at that trial without any kind of sharks contract and he was training with them in full kit in lead up, but hasn’t been anything to confirm and I’d have thought there would be by now

no claim, i wanted him to sign though

dont know if we can or get him on a dev deal, but he is a pretty handy player

We have 2 spots in our top 30, could def sign Chambers to one

Maybe be a bit more clear in how you word things then?

Also Gabe Hamlin has earnt a train and trial contract with us and will get a contract around seasons start

Wasnt told whether development or top 30

 

[snowman]

he did earn the t&t second part hasnt come off

 

[BurgoShark]

he did earn the t&t second part hasnt come off

Yeah - that's pretty much what I said above. Apparently has T&T but hasn't appeared in any training photos since the trials, so we'll leave him off the list for now. If he pops up at training one day in Sharks gear I'll throw him back onto the T&T list.

 

[BurgoShark]

Talakai re-signed until the end of 2023.
https://www.sharks.com.au/news/2021/04/16/sifa-signs-on-as-a-shark-for-2-more-seasons/

Will do a full update once the Chambers situation is sorted.

 

[Henchmann]

Xavier Coates off contract, only 20yrs old and Origin experience. Anyone think he would be value for us as a future Centre, or overpriced at $500-$600k per year?
Storm have chased him pretty hard and they’re usually good judges future talent.

 

[Tiger Shark]

Fair bit of money for a winger. Unless they plan to move him to centre.

Can he play halfback

I rate Coates. Thinking about it being Ramien money, he's that and some
