They need props their bench is shit. And they need a gun centre, give them Whare and keep Peach LOL. But really they need to sure up their pack, there’s some really average forwards at 15,16 and 17. Carty has still been making the bench and refuses to tackle lol.

The titans have cultural problems tho, late and Carty both became much worse players there. Proctor is a nobody now.

Whare's kids go to my kids school. I doubt he'd be up for moving and actually found form.

Given how much depth we have I am sure there is a few guys they'd take to sweeten the deal

They don’t need a Hooker I think.
They have Peats until 2020 (who I think may have a shortish lifespan given the way he plays) and Rein is off-contract this year. Do they have hookers we don't know about?

From the Titans' perspective I think they'd definitely want a longer term hooker - even to come off the bench every game in 2019 behind Peats. And we just happen to have 2 young hookers that Brennan would know a fair bit about.

Even if not with us. You get some players for him it's the best thing for them
I think Peach will want to be at Penrith. Note that the club has only said we don't have cap space - not that we don't want him. I think this response from the club is to distance them from any claims of encouraging Peachey to renege - particularly on the back of the IC saga last month.

Yeah the wording was interesting. GC can't make him move we know this so they either sort a trade or they have holes in their roster. That trade will sort space

They need rep quality players and experience, they have plenty of young talent. Offer them Merrin.

He is single so is a good one to move on. For me as long as we keep:

Edwards
DWZ
Blake
Whare
Mansour
Maloney
Cleary
Leota
RCG
JFH
Yeo
Kikau
And one of our hookers

We have a top 4 riser next year. The rest depending on long term plans I can handle going.

To me, it's between Peachy and the Titans. Compensation my arse. If he gets out of his contract, then we can talk. He can stay for the original contract value (if it's still available). None of this "starting centre" business either. He is what he is - an odd job man.

Peachey won't be cheap so it won't be us. There is no upside for Panthers in this situation.

Why? He is joining late he takes what he can get or he goes elsewhere. Nothing has changed in the reasons we let him go. He knows that so either takes the terms or doesn't. If we get him for under $400k it is a win to us.

Point is though. French wants out of Parra I am sure Tigers would go for him. He has options outside of us that benefits GC as well

I see it more likely he'd go to another Sydney club before us. We won't get him for less because of the requirements around a contract having to meet market value. He also said himself this is all a beat ip and he's going to the Gold Coast.

There is no market value though. He can sign for what he wants anywhere. He said he wants to sort it during the offseason

The Titans offered $500k from what I've heard so there's your market value.

I don't buy the paper anymore. Journalists are morons. I didbpost the video with Peachey himself saying he's honoring the contract.

Neither do I normally, however, what I wrote was accurate, unfortunately I can't upload that article either.
