Firstly, on Hilder, I would rate him higher than Young! Hilder realistically is being hampered by having to play hooker because he simply isnt one, hes a second rower! So any stats he has would be way better if he didnt hav to be played out of position. Hilder is also WAY more consistant than Young and is better defensively IMO (although this year hasnt been his best with limited game time!!)
Hilder is a ledg and I agree with you 100%.

As for Albert being signed, its interesting. He recently resigned with his ESL club and their site said it was all rumours, but in the local newspaper some weeks back it had Steve Rogers saying some talks had occured and that they were confident they might get him......... yet Albert denies this. Who knows
though, there are some issues with Albert and his club, they are trying to retain him and some other gun player, Im just hoping that maybe they decide to take the other dude and not Albert! Also of interest is Peachey, if the club hes going to (cant remember name - maybe Widnes or something) get relegated his contract would be void because its conditional, if this did occur I would HOPE that after his red hot form in the last weeks the sharkies would come to their senses and sign him!!!!!!!!!!!
Dream on about Albert, he'll never come. As for Peach, if Widnes get relegated, I dont think the Peach will re-sign. He'll probably go off to another English team. I really want him to stay, but I dont think he'll stay.

My team for 06'
1. Brown 2.Simmons 3.Vagana 4.Pomeroy 5.Albert 6.Dykes 7.Noddy 13.Gallen 12.Bails 11.Hilder 10.Ross 9.Latu 8.Nutley
Bench : Williams, Leulawai, Bird, Hutch
IMO thats a very strong site, that pack especially would be VERY good with blokes like Hutch and Williams coming off the bench, and more over Mapp in PL as quality depth. The backline would be alittle under done, with Brown havin to debut but from what Ive seen of him, hes an up and coming start! If we get Albert as well this would mean we have virtually two of the fastest wingers in the comp! (Albert is currently the fastest in ESL and Simmo is prity quick - refer to him chasing down Bowen this year)
Bookie, I saw you forgot Hutch mate, he is surely a must.
In place of Albert if we dont get him I would have maybe Beau Scott or some PL player like Goodwin, I dont rate Covell he is just to slow for a winger whos job is to support etc and unfortunately we have an abundance of quality second rowers. This would create a goal kicking problem but I think Hilder showed in 04 that he can kick and with work in the off season he could become a 70%+ kicker.
Wont disagree with the team for next year (btw, I did forget Hutch) - except that Albert wont come, where we put in Covell (he made Country, he couldnt be THAT bad, although I wouldnt mind blooding Goodwin up. That'd be awesome - hes porbably the best player in JF competition.) As for Hilder starting - I suppose hes more of a starter than a benchie, so I wuld start him ahead of Williams - bloody hell, we have the best squad of (possible) backrowers in the world [Gallen, Bailey, Nutley, Hilder, R Williams, Stosic, Leuleuai, Isemonger, Bird, Mellars - add to that the released Galloway and Lomu] , but no backs!

I think you'll find the sharkies have already picked their fullback for next year and its simmons. They've been keen for him to play there from the begiining and that's why they didn't bother to much with lettin Peach go. The way Simmons plays you can tell he's a very good fullback and the sharks would be stupid not to use him their.
I think you've been paying too much attention to the media wraps of Simmons (anyone see that filthy RLW article?)

News out to, Sharks have officially signed Latu!! Not bad going, hes an international - unfortunately hampered by illness and coach Kemp! Hopefuly hes in line to be an 80 min hooker, something we need to free up the bench. Now the loss of Sullivan isnt to bad
Sullivans creativity is like no other in the NRL. Hes the biggest defensive fuckup, but man can he create. Latu will be good, dont mind him.

He will definetely make himself at home, the sharks have recruited alot of non-aussies recently:
Hutch
Mellars
Manua
Leulawai
Stosic
to Name a few.
Naming a few, how about that Nigel something or the other? Always thought he was a decent player..
