Rumoured & Confirmed Signings - Part 5

[maple_69]

Well I can't say I love Taylan as a bloke but he's clearly bloody talented and, Kenny aside, locks up a formidable starting side for the next 3 odd years. Surely curtains for Tito and makes for an interesting year for Alamoti. I wonder if we get Jesse onto that wing next year, Casey into Tago's centre role the year after (Tago to edge) and then a guy like Sielaff-Burns slots in for May.

You would have to think we lose Tito now, which is a shame. I hope he gets some good bank wherever he ends up. Got a few rings already so would be mad not to cash out

You'd think he'd want to play fullback at some point.

 

[Chins get the wins]

He is a fullback

yeah but like May, Short deal here and sets him up longer term, Finishing in particular still needs some work

 

[BossleyPanther]

If I was in my 20s I'd take the bigger pay cheque and live in Bondi over Penrith

That seems to be our Achilles heel, Penrith beach don't cut the mustard.

Think Tito may stay but I dont think we will miss him to much if he does go besides personality.

Just read May is staying till 2026?

I assumed he was staying when people said his cryptic tweets where a sign he was leaving. I just doubt he would of posted them if he was leaving.

Is Tito Turuava? I think he's a good player but if had to lose someone of who's left it would be him. Unless he was taking Edwards spot. Dylan however looks like he has another 3 or 4 yrs left.

What can you tell me about Longi? He looks decent.

 

[WestyLife]

Exactly and pretty good at it.

That'd make the most sense.

 

[Fangs]

Bit of a surprise. He is a good player and ideal to keep him and Tago with Crichton gone. Both offer versatility as they can play centre and wing just like Crichton could.

Iongi is excellent. Better FB prospect than Tito imo. I hate to say it but im not sure the timing will work out for Iongi with Edwards and he may have to go elsewhere to get his shot at regular FG.

How old is he? Gutherson hasn't much left. His contract finishes in 2025

20 or 21 this year. Been the reggies fullback for a number of years now, kept Tito out of FB last time Tito played reserve grade. I think we have signed for a number of years though. Can play a bit of 6 also.

 

[hindy111]

I think Penrith will do this in 2025/2026-

Tago ends up 2nd row
Backline will be

Dylan
Too
May
C.Mclean
J.Mclean

They will let Tito go

Jaxen Edgar will jump him as well, and at the moment he looks like Edwards long term replacement.

Timing works out well for Jaxson but its a long way from SG ball to FG for a kid his size. Big talent though so with luck he will be the one. Hasnt played since the first week of sg ball this year.

Nice to get this off our back, May can be be as good as he wants to be, I’m glad he is staying.

On reflection It is amazing how a few articles and rumours can hurt players.
A lot of us went from he is awesome to I don’t care if he stays based on not much at all.

 

[Hooked]

Surprising news about May. I thought he was going. Something changed. He had a 3-year offer and now looks like he is settling for a 2- year. Same as Terrell's deal.
Both will be a package deal next time.
