Confirmed Signings

[Rhino_NQ]

ouch, would have been good seeing him partner morgs in a few years time.

I'm guessing there is a pretty solid plan for JT's retirement when it happens

Brandon Smith signed from the Cowboys to become Cam Smith's apprentice is a good story, although a Kiwi the youngster is boxing trained and apparently eligible to play for Qld

But is he wrestling trained?

Surely he wasnt that bad.. What happened to this guy?

I know he played for London before and really enjoyed it so maybe he is keen to go back there. With Soward playing for them there chances of being promoted just went up by heaps. However if London can't get promoted I wouldn't be surprised if he jumps to a super league team next year

Jamie Soward released by Panthers

Thu 30 Jun, 2016, 2:26pm

The Penrith Panthers have released playmaker Jamie Soward from the remainder of his contract with the club, effective immediately.

The 31-year-old played 53 games for the Panthers after joining the club ahead of the 2014 season, and will now link up with the London Broncos.

"Jamie feels the time is now right to pursue an opportunity to finish his career in England," Panthers executive general manager Phil Gould said.

"How playing careers begin and end is not an exact science but he has recognised there are a number of emerging talents at the club who deserve the chance to progress.

"Jamie has been wonderful for the Panthers and has done everything we have ever asked of him. He has been a leader, on and off the field, and played a key role in the development of our younger players.

"If Jamie sees a future for himself in coaching, once his playing days have come to an end, it is my intention that he will begin that coaching career here at the Panthers."

If only there were a thread.... fully dedicated to Confirming Signings of players year by year...

We could call it "Confirmed Signings 2015-2016" and it could be stuck on the front page of the forums all year round.


If only.

Still thought he had 1 year left in him in the NRL.

 

[Rabbit toes]

screw a thread, this deserves its own forum.

 

[Penrose Warrior]

Hope his mrs is going, judging on his insta and twitter feeds he is reasonably fond of her...

screw a thread, this deserves its own forum.

Only if its moderated by Catweasel

Eels sign Jeff Robson... Do they plan to lose every game from here?

He's reliable. Will just be a foil for Norman. Considering our back ups Cornish and Kelly (yuk) are injured it's not a bad signing

 

[Snappy]

perhaps they expect Norman to be sitting out some games too in the near future

 

[McLovin]

He's not solid or reliable... Robson is done at this point. After watching him plod around every week while he was at the Sharks i'm convinced he will offer nothing at this stage of his career. Better off playing Wicks at halfback tbh...

He's more likely just to play for Wenty, and Cornish play FG when he's back fit. We're playing Cameron King at 7 for Wenty at the moment. And we've got a back-rower at six and also at reserve hooker in the top side.

I really feel like there's some sort of halves/grams drug dealer joke in there somewhere

Have you watched any Warriors games this year? Sure, he's no world beater but is a very reliable backup and is a big part of why the reserve grade Warriors are doing well.
Very solid depth signing.

Storm poach Leuluia from Roosters, most promising young prop who debuted for Robbo showing good promise, early this year then was injured, Poachin caaarnts..
