What was that Parra/dogs dud that was supposed to be the next SBW?
BAHAHAHA Karl Filiga


Cronulla forked out a whopping $600,000 deal over three years.

The prodigious New Zealand-born talent managed to play only one game for the Sharks in three years.

It was estimated that Filiga’s 11-minute NRL career cost Cronulla $20,000 a minute.

similar prototype to Cameron Murray might also mean he's pretty small for a forward. Big disadvantage

The next Brad Fittler - Anasta
The next Alfie Langer - Sandow
The next Gorden Tallis - Thaiday
The Next SBW - Filliga Filiga
The next Andrew Johns - Brooks

These players never go close to the player that they're being compared too...
No the next SBW wasn’t Filliga Filliga he was a small outside back… the player you are thinking of is Karl McNicol who changed his name to Karl Filliga when he signed with the Sharks after they poached him from us back in the mid 2000s.

Hopefully we haven't lost Mitchell Woods to the Swans. But generally AFL clubs offer more for junior players and he obviously excels in Aussie Rules and likes it so good luck to him if that's where he ends up..

Going off his socials suggests differ tbh. It’s all league and union posts and stories and a lot of dogs plus family also supports the bulldogs. Not a single post about AFL.

I hate to break it to you, I got told recently he is more passionate towards AFL, and most likely a deal close or is done to the swans,

Yeah I'm resigned to that. Hope it's not true as he looks more skilful and has better vision and instincts than most young halves

I can confirm that he is regarded as our next superstar halfback, it would be a shame if we lose him :(

Wouldn’t he be better to crack it at league then get his manager to go to the AFL and launch a raid on Rugby League and sign for a lot more. Sort of like Israel
