No wonder they call it the off season..
All our players are off, the "reporting" continues to be off, the administration is off the planet.
Somebody wake me up when the footy season starts...
 
Would be easier if they just link him and Foz to every club. Will probably end up that way before the season starts anyway.
 
These reporters love their fantasy lol.

They base all of this on the fact that DCE and Barba are pals.

If the fishies have that sort of coin, I wonder if they have a cap either? surely Fifita, Gallen and Lewis already chew up a fair bit of that.

I like the rest of you want the silly season to end and lets hope we get a decision one way or another ASAP

Don't stop there Dowdz. By the new season kick-off I'll expect them to be linked to every sport imaginable...can than play cricket..'course they can...sign 'em up:p
 
I heard that north Sydney also want Cherry.

He has as much chance of winning a premiership with norths as he does with the sharks
 
Serious question.

If the Sharks are as poor as they've been claiming over the past few years, how can they afford to pay Ben Barba a reported 600 grand per year plus offer Cherry a million dollar contract? One day they are in the press moaning and groaning about being almost broke, can't find sponsors, then they go and offer contracts in the vicinity of a million dollars. Doesn't make sense to me unless they've suddenly convinced Bill Gates or Richard Branson to back them.

Do we actually have a salary cap these days?

He'd be better off playing for the Narrabeen Sharks

Ah the memories, I played 14 seasons with the Narrabeen Sharks. Good old Lake Park was like playing on concrete.
 
I just cant see him leaving Manly, sorry lads / laddettes. We have far too many positive things going for us top to bottom, and he has a small famiky on the beaches, and.is established.

I've wondered this for some time. They have also signed more players from Illawarra.
 
The NRL grant covers the Salary Cap so that isn't a problem for the Sharks. Add the Broncos paying half of Barba's salary over the next two years, and there is clearly room to build the squad up.

Considering the DCE rumour against this is simply a hypothetical.

I'll second that. Oh... Hang on. You already did.
