Message: [QUOTE="Broncoman, post: 2575824, member: 7803"] Not related to this rounds discussion but that score line shows the situation Cronulla have got themselves in. They have a team just for now not for tommorow while most clubs are building towards the future. The players they bought at the end of 2012 are in the twilight of their careers. Gordon, Lewis and Heighington are all good players while Lewis is one of the best in the game but they are in their 30's and Gordon is injury prone and Lewis spends time out injured. Gallen's body is starting to wear down and has suffered 3 injuries in the last year and a bit that has kept him out of action for periods of time plus his rep commitments. Their backline apart from Gordon, Ryan, Carney and Wright are mainly reserve graders. Ayshford isn't going to set the world on fire, Leutele, Robson, Holdsworth and Stapleton would struggle to make the starting side for most other clubs at full strength. The forwards are Cronulla's strength but Morris, Tagatese and most of the others aren't world beaters and they have lost their flagship front rower Andrew Fifita to Canterbury while Gallen, Lewis and Gibbs are out for periods at a time for reasons already mentioned. If they don't focus in development of junior players urgently ASAP or go on the market and pickup anything on offer the Sharks can slip back to the cellar in the near future. [/QUOTE]
