Michael Gordon not wanted at Panthers

[Guest]

Forget about Inglis at 17.. That no longer exists.. It is now fat bloated Inglis at 23... If he came to the Roosters he would just get fatter and bludge like most of our highly paid recruits.

Ha ha the same inglis that gets called fat every year and then proceeds to tear NZ. NSW etc a new one. Watch out in Qld if we get a dry track.

Graham will top off our pack, make it MUCH better IMO.

Ryles, Friend, Graham, Symonds, Aubusson, Myles...Cherrington, Hargreaves, Nuuausala, and Jones/Jorbs/Foran.

Massive props, mobile backrowers, high workrates in the starting pack, great impact off the bench. Looks promising. Graham is a player who I rate higher than most NRL props - he is probably not as good as Petero or Price, but he is better than Hannant, Weyman, Shillington, Scott, Kite, etc.

Mack, how many times have you actually seen Graham play?

Rugby League World Cup - every match

4 Nations - every match

A good dozen Super League matches too.

Every time I have seen him play, he has impressed me. Massive motor, runs hard, and is an angry bastard.

Mickey Gordon won't be joining the chooks.
Lea (his Nan - re: Talkin Sport) hates us with a passion and I think any move from the Panthers would have to be approved by her.

I agree. James Graham is the best prop in the Super League IMO, along with Jamie Peacock and Earl Crabtree.

id be just as content with either snowden or douglas - a fraction of the price, already proven at first grade level in australia and both starting to peak now but i am by no means against the graham move he has impressed me just as much

These guys are massivley rated, maybe not by the media but Snowden is in massive demand being off contract this season. A fraction of the price might not be as small as you think...

I'm not 100% sure but he seems to be appearing in a lot of off contract lists...

Only thing I could find about his original contract...

SHARKS SIGN YOUNG NEWCASTLE PROP
sharks.com

In a continuation of Ricky Stuart’s drive to build a squad of talented young players, the Sharks have signed Newcastle front rower Kade Snowden to a two-year contract.

The 20-year-old Snowden, who has played 15 NRL games for the Knights, debuting in round one of the 2005 season as an 18-year-old, will join the Sharks at the end of the current season.

Standing 190cm tall and tipping the scales at 112kgs, Snowden has an outstanding football pedigree, having played for the Australian Schoolboys and being a former winner of the Brian Carlson medal for the best under-17 player in the Newcastle District. Snowden hails from Belmont and the Lakes United club, the same junior club as Sharks skipper Brett Kimmorley who is also a past winner of the Carlson medal

"I’m excited about the opportunity at the Sharks and am looking forward to cementing a spot in their NRL squad and to playing under the Australian coach in Ricky Stuart," Snowden said.

Snowden joins Blake Green from Parramatta and Karl McNichol of the Bulldogs as youngsters with big futures who are being brought into the fold at the Cronulla club.

They will join the likes of Reece Williams, Paul Gallen, Greg Bird, Luke Douglas and David Simmons who are tied to the Sharks on long-term contracts.
