Tim Robinson signs with Sharks (ex Sea Eagle)

[puma1355]

He is the younger brother of former NRL player Chad Robinson. Ex club is Manly and previously Parramatta. Tim has played 13 games in 2011 and 5 games in 2012. I'mnot sure why we need another forward !!!

 

[Mr Ryan]

and we signed some young hooker from the Tigers.

He might turn out to be a superstar, but seriously, you would of thought we have hooker pretty much covered.

 

[Thresher]

It's probably because I said that we were a bit thin on props and Flanno would have read it

 

[puma1355]

Yeah the hooker is Pat Poliniti from Tigers. Played 1 game. He is a kiwi, my mate works with his brother at the casino. He goes ok but wont be 1st grade. Very similar to Stuart Flanagan

 

[puma1355]

Thresher Shark I think you are on the money bro !

He would only be a depth player. No harm in having depth.

I think you are right deano he is an ex Parra Junior transfered to Manly last year and was /is off contrack with them, initially used as a wide running BACK ROWER but has been playing up front he seems to be big enough around 106 ks, turns 25 this year.

We seem to be carrying a lot of fringe Frontrowers John Green, San Tagga, Mark Taufa . I hope this new fella develops we really need more quality depth in our frontrow, some one who has a bit of mongrel and can stand up to and take it to the tougher frontrowers.


I remember watching our home game against the chooks last year and Hargreaves really intimidated our pack and got away with it(Gal was not on the park)

Aiden Tolman 2014. Let's get it done.

I think he was referring to Politini.

 

[Gow's Scissors]

we do have him, liccha morris and degwah so he has a point.

Mongrel isn't the word to describe him. Tough yes, but not an enforcer.

Tamou was the one but he's gone. Scott and Packer are the two who could make an impact for us. One's a pipe dream... the other may not be.

 

[sharks2010]

Would rather packer over tolman
Hope we can get him over here

 

[Spanner shark]

Maybe we can get a pommie prop they seem to have or have had a bit of mongrel in them. Has Graham got a brother like the burgess clan

 

[Mark^Bastard]

we do have him, liccha morris and degwah so he has a point.

Liccha is in the NYC squad, Morris and De Gois are barely adequate cover for the NRL, and we still needed someone for NSW Cup (hence needing Politini).

What's the point then exactly?

 

[deano the p]

If we were looking to get a high quality prop I think Packer would be best value for money by along way.

 

[sharksfan4321]

watched quite a lot of manly games over last 2 years and can't remember robinson whatsoever is he any good??

 

[deano the p]

He really is just a handy fringe first grader. Nothing special.

Does anyone know why...... we keep buying fringe talent Props, I agree Packer would, could be a great buy. But at this stage our front row does not stack up well against most teams who will challenge for the top 4 or 5 this year.

Get with it. This is a second tier signing. He's been bought to play NSW cup. Probably wont even be training with the top squad.
