Please no!

I know what you mean. Starts to sound like dads army! lol. Anyway its just bulldog banter now they signed Ennis they know Hughes is gone for sure

 

[Smile Ricky...]

The talk in the Kennel is that Corey Hughes is coming to the Sharks

Ahhhhh! No f*cking way! This guy would be just as bad a beau scott, if not worse. I heard he was going to sign with the dragons anyway

 

[SHARKSTER]

Hope so

Not sure if anyone has been reading the telegraph website today

http://www.news.com.au/dailytelegraph/sport/nrl/story/0,26799,23817141-5006066,00.html

Nathan Smith is trying to get out of his deal to go to Canberra the same as Luke Lewis did to Souths.

Is there a chance De Gois can get out of going to Newcastle? Or thats a done deal?

See this thread for a discussion of that issue.

 

[UpUpCronulla]

Thanks, sorry new here.

 

[Megashark]

No worries mate, welcome to the site.

Just adding again I emailed Burraston and it wont be the case.

Also on the Mullen topic, he laughed at suggestions of that saying Mullen extended his contract by his own choice in the off season.

 

[Megashark]

Thanks for clearing that up for us D.G.D.K. Any chance you guys want Dustin Cooper back?

 

[DeGoisDeKnight]

Ha, to be honest... he wasn't that bad of a player back then. He played in the backs and some might remember, he used to be a great player in the Melbourne backline.

Played in our 2005 season towards the end of the year (when we were winning) and was awesome!

I think the biggest problem with him is that his similiar to Ciraldo.

Got potential but needs a boot up the rear end. Cooper needs to head back to the outside backs.

Thurston

old john isnt getting along with his team up north, so its time to move on.
and as from the 1st of next month he will be a shark.
yay team

 

[jedman1]

maybe u should have started this off with,
"A long time ago in a Shire far, far away......."
some facts to back it up would be good. or at least,
"I know a guy who knows a guy who knows ricky......."

 

[KELPIE]

I don't want him now more than ever actually.

It took us till now for us to move away from being a one trick pony (Noddy controling everything) and I like what I see. To go back to a one man show would be terrible.

Seymour/Bird would loose any chance at developing into better players and with Barrett, Seymour would probably even get pushed out.

(Fancy has had some good calls in the past - Ross for Ryals springs to mind)

Thurston, mate your dreaming we already have signed barrett and topou and hughes

6. barrett
7. thurston
9.hughes

...

What the? seymour???

so about thurston rumours that right he wants out from cowboys or false ? i dont know what to read half these forums are well misleading.

<EDIT - Sharkiiies original post can be found here (Post #2). We felt that a subject he brought up deserved it's own thread>

 

[brad]

do we have a spare $500k?

 

[Capital_Shark]

I've been happy to sit back and see how all these Thurston rumours panned out. I've gotta say now though that I really cannot see it happening. The signing of Barrett had to put it beyond the realm of possibility. If anyone within the club honestly thought the Sharks were a hope of securing Thurston's services within the next 24 months I really can't see them bringing in Barrett for 2 years.

Lets be realistic. No matter how much Thurston wanted to play in the black, white and blue, or any club's colours for that matter, he wouldn't do it for unders. He's not on the outer with selectors or the media, in any major form slump or hitting the wrong side of his peak, which means he'll continue to demand top dollar. If anything he'd be looking for a bit more incentive to leave a club where he's skipper, and a town where he and his family are well established, to move South and start over.

 

[Sharkiiies]

well i was thinking that too ( Capital_Shark ) , i mean thurston is with cowboys steady and has a deal with them i think till 2010 ?, and well i doubt sharks can snatch him we already have seymour and barrett im happy with that

 

[sharktastic]

thurston can leave whenever he wants cause they sacked murray. he had a get out clause. so i have heard anyway,, anyone able to back that story up???

i really cant see us being able to afford him anyway... do we really want him?

seymour to be qld half next year.. he is a queenslander?
