Lets not forget Packer also pissed his pants on the field. None of his "mates" leaked the photo or anything, he was front and centre on Monday night footy. The bloke is a goose, a grub, a criminal, and should sit out a season. If he gets a start in 2015 he is lucky as f**k.

No it was only a rumour, and like I said, it didn't make sense. Watmough and Wicks are both rumours too, but they make very good sense.

The 2 wingers playing in the Under 20's team yesterday look a better prospect than the ones running around in NSW cup....

But of course we are all happy Manu mau is playing for us....
How long did Manu have to wait to before he returned??? This bloke will be getting out of jail and straight into over 100k a year paid job. Wicks had to serve his time as well. I think Packer should definitely miss at least next season the NRL should make a stand.

Packer was lucky he didn't kill someone, his sentence was severely light in the first place.

I believe BA said in a radio interview that Wicks is definitely signed. I'm guessing he has to wait until the end of his WADA ban before they can actually sign something and announce it.

Apparently Russell Packer has signed a 2 year deal with Penrith.

http://www.news.com.au/national/pen...twoyear-contract/story-e6frfkp9-1227072525934

I will be interested to see what happens here, given that he is not an Australian citizen and he is currently serving a 2 year prison sentence for an indictable criminal offence. I understand it to be standard practice of the Department of Immigration to immediately deport non-citizens upon their release from prison after an indictable criminal offence.

SMH is reporting he has signed with the dragons

It doesn't say that the NRL are happy to have him play. In fact, the article states that the apparent signing (which is contradicted by the SMH) is risk coz the NRL may refuse to register his contract.

Back in the early 80s, the NSWRL were happy for a bloke who robbed my grandfather at knifepoint to play for Newtown on weekend release from prison.

Amazing that something like that was allowed Bazza, and by already signing him Gus is putting pressure on the NRL to allow the contract. I really hope they don't, the bloke needs to sit out at least a season and realise what his actions have done for him and his family.

Weidler reckons that Hayne is contemplating a switch to the NFL. He has my blessing if he seriously wants to give it a go.

Different world then I guess.....and the bloke has gone on to straighten himself out and contribute significantly to the community...so I guess some good came from it. Didn't do my pop much good though, but he bore him no malice.

Good win by penrith in the NSW cup..

They have alot of talent in their ranks.

Gus should get the NRL to bring in a tranfer fee make some money out of the players too good for NSW cup but wont get a start in their first grade team..
