There is a reason VH isn't Sharks first choice fullback... I'll bank on Latrell.

To sign this player and potentially lose juniors that Im excited to watch in thee coming years, it would be fair to say Id be pissed. Even if we do lose SKD I dont think we need to replace just yet. Id like to know what we are doing with Pearce first.

What makes you think we are going to lose juniors if we sign him? Have we guaranteed Mitchell the fullback position? I doubt it. Mitchell could easily end up in the centres

Weve got some of the exciting young backs in the comp coming through. Id be surprised if the club went out and purchased a back now. It all depends on whether they are willing to wait and be patient with them and success in general.
Im not so sure we should even make a play for Hayne now should he become available. Latrell and Niko arent gun shy albeit one match into it and so who should make way. Remember it would probably take him a season to find his feet again.
Personally id rather spend the money on a backrower.Exonerate the West Memphis Three - www.wm3.org

Robbo and POS have both been very vocal that they see his future as a centre or fullback. Given he has come through the lower grades as a fullback only, there is obviously strong suggestions that they see him as a centre. Add to that the constant links to Tedesco, Hayne and now Holmes.
When we lost RTS Trent Robinson came out and said it'll be Latrell Mitchell who replaces him, but only when he's ready.
There has been support & faith put into this kid being our fullback for a very, very long time.

Inglis has destroyed NSW at centre in almost every game he's played.
At fullback he can go stretches of one whole month without being sighted. He was bog average last year for Souffs, even when fit.
Even in 2014 he was quiet for large stretches and it was the monster that is Sam Burgess that dragged them home on the back of the penalty-a-thon.
GI is easily the best centre I've ever seen. But he'd probably be the 6th best fullback I've seen behind Slater, Mini, Lockyer, Hayne and Stewart. RTS and Tedesco will also surpass him as a fullback.
They have infinitely higher involvement on a week to week basis.
