Not sure thats telling us anything new , we knew both parties were happy , its just a matter of working out the details and signing.

They are paying Hastings a huge amount, Ponga too.

Re: Hohepa Puru exploring a move to Cronulla Sharks

Horse has to be in the prop rotation.

We used to play Havili off the bench in that lock/dummy half role.
Perfect way to play Puru.

Re: Hohepa Puru exploring a move to Cronulla Sharks

Looking at the stats he played 27 matches in NSW cup this year , so if he did get a head knock it wasn't likely to be Cat 1.
He also captained the majority of the matches he played.
