Grothe a shark??

Posted by Craig on June 12, 2010 at 8:48am

tumbled on a rumour yesty that Sharks officials a interested in meeting with Eric Grothe in the near future. This source was correct about Gaznier returning when he told me in December last year so i did take notice. Luke Covell is off contract and the sharks new coach wants to boulster the line up with some size and speed, something that Luke just doesn't have. Eric and Ricky Stuart don't get on but now sticky is leaving the sharks have become an option

Think Grothe has a business over that way as well? anybody know?

Yeah that would be about 6 or 7 ex-parra players that would be playing for the Sharks

I think Johns should throw on a number 7 jersey and play the rest of the year with Parra for free to make up for whatever he said.

Hvurgo, wouldn't want him in the team anyway mate.

He's got a long commute from playing Japanese rugby to the Shire.

You could be right, I have heard from a very mutual friend who sees Grothe often. He might not go to Japan. either Cowboys or Sharks as he leaves in the area and now that Stuart is leaving ? and if they offer him what he wants he might grab that opportunty. I wish he didnt have to go?

I must say, this is getting a bit ridiculous!

Are we only looking at former/current Parramatta players for our future purchases, or is it just a coincidence?I'm starting to feel a tad embarrassed...

  I think it's one thing when your team recruits good players from another club. When most to all of your recruits are those who aren't considered good enough to be in the future plans at their current club you need to start wondering about your recruitment policy.
  
  The poor old Sharkies are struggling at the moment though. If the financial side of the operation was in better shape I'm sure you'd be more active in recruiting the better players. Now you've lost your top class coach I can't see things getting much better.

he is looking for staff for his cronulla shop, if any girls are looking for a job

Yes, all very valid concerns that I, myself have.

Ricky was the person responsible for recruiting so I guess I have to hope things will improve when he's gone.You can't really blame him though, as he didn't have much money to play with...Supposedly they will have more to spend for next year and maybe that's why we have been sniffing around so many players who come off contract after this year.

The Sharks signed Tim Smith....they have no idea!
