Those of the Kimmorley haters on here, well, well well, the chickens are coming home to roost. As far as I am concerned getting rid of Kimmorley, letting De Gois go, and releasing Bird were major mistakes. The proof is in the results. Differential -54 what a joke. Do you think we would be -54 and 1 win with those players in our team? NO. I am filthy with Cronulla for all of this. Talk about an unprofessional approach. We were 1 game from a Grand Final last year and we get rid of KEY players. Do you think a side like Chelsea or Liverpool will get rid of Frank Lampard or Steven Gerrard this year if they don't win the EPL. It is a joke as far as player management goes, and someone should start admitting that they made fuc king BIG mistakes.

dont miss kimmorley one bit-our problems aren't in the halves.

1-5 and handling top my list of problems.

you're dead right about degois though-if the club had it's time over i'm sure he'd be still with us.

I honestly think Barrett will cancel out Kimmorley BUT the loss of Bird and DeGois is really hurting us. It really is starting to get to the blame naming game and Zappia is right up there in my opinion.

Kimmorley is a far better player than Trent Barrett, furthermore we did not gain anything by signing Barrett. In Kimmorley we lost a player that is a good organiser, tackles his heart out, and a good kicker who had good understanding with other players. We wouldn't be in the sh*it today if Kimmorley was still at Cronulla. No gain in signing Barrett, at best get 1 or 2 years out of him.

Kimmorley can thank Cronulla for cutting him as look at his achievements at Canterbury ALREADY. They will make the 8, and he can tell all the haters to go and get f'd and laugh till his heart is content.

I dont disagree with you mate, I was a big fan of Kimmorley. But I dont think that we lose that much with the Barrett/Seymour combination.

i never hated kimmorley but up until last year he'd been a 50/50 prospect.

much happier with the baz/buster show-it's still got a way to go but it's just started to show what it's capable of.

now we need to hang onto the pill.

also with Reni added you did not lose much from loss of Bird either IMO


Listen here if you have something worthwhile to say it by all means, but don't compare Maitua and Bird there is no comparison, not even in the same ballpark. You can have him back and Hughes back, useless signings.

Cronulla need to explain why they let De Gois go to sign him.

Who was the captain today ? If Kimmorley was still with us he would have been questioning all of our dud calls. Not once did Barrett approach the ref and ask a question. Gallen is a little guilty of it too. Thats also where we miis Kimmorley, no one in our side does that much on field talking. Fix the problems Ricky.

Your right Gummy. Unless the captain speaks up the refs go on thinking everything is sunshine and lollipops. Payne was getting away with murder with his passes from dummy half but nothing was said or done about it.

We had a winning team last year, we dont this year, i said it before, sticky and Zappia have some questions to answer, normally you improve or be about the same on the previous year, we have gone so far backwards its not funny.

What did we do to try and keep Fraser Anderson? In my books they could have paid him some more money. If we had money to sign Donnelly could have paid it to Anderson. I am pi$$ed off severely with the players Cronulla lost, and it is the very reason alone we are minus 54 points differential and favs for wooden spoon.

I do agree that letting DeGois was one of the most monumental **** ups of all time. Listening to Brian Smith blow DeGois trumpet in the paper today had me reaching for the razor blades. How on earth they came up with the decision that he was not worth the money defies logic.

That might be a bit of a stretch mate. Reading an article about Fraser the other day only confirmed to me that he was going regardless of what the Sharks come up with and realistically would you be paying him the 400k or so Japan rugby offered? I doubt it.
