Now that it's open markt season in the NRL....

Who has your club signed so far, and are you happy with the purchases, or would you have rathered spend up on others?

So far, the Sharks have signed 2 players, both Kiwi internationals:

Nigel Vagana for 3 years
Andrew Lomu for 3 years

I am feeling alot more optimistic for 2004 than I am for the remainder of 2003. We will have a great centre pairing of Phil Bailey and Nigel Vagana... Unless Bailey is shifted back to the Second Row, in which case we bring Paul Franze in to the centres, which is probably an even better move. Franze is the best centre at the club and was going great untill he dod his knee early in the season.

I would like the club to sign one more prob or backrower or a decent winger who can finnish off plays. We have Matt Reick and Loloa Milford on the wings at the moment, and both are fringe first graders, although Reick does have a shitload of speed on him.

so far manly don't have either charman or a coach.

 

[Spruce Goose]

Any word on who will replace Peter Sharp as coach?

They need a top coach, not a rookie like Des Hasler, but I reckon he will get the job

 

[KoichCPA]

I hope dessy gets it, he was my favorite player for so long.

Grahme Lowe was gunna do it, but then decided today he didn't want to.

I hope Penrith stays the same and it looks like they will pretty much!

 

[KoichCPA]

They should get rid of girdler, he's overated.

The Warriors only have two players who are yet to be resigned, Logan Swann and John Carlaw. I'm guessing Swann will probably leave for more money although I hope he doesn't, and Carlaw... meh. He can go if he likes.

They're also said to be looking for another outside back or two.
