Rumoured and Confirmed signings - Part 4

[MrBlack]

Bring back Latu and Cartwright.

Latu - not Cartwright.

 

[OldPanther]

Latu - not Cartwright.

I'd take the opposite lol

 

[age.s]

What happened to Latu this year? I know he had an injury early on, but he just spent the whole year in Q Cup from what I can tell.

He has his issues as a player, but the Titans pack was hardly setting the world on fire. He either fell out with the coach or performed really poorly to not make the team up there.

Speculation over

 

[Panther_Daz]

Personally I would've preferred a 2 year extension. Just to see how his development continues.

We all know contracts don't mean anything (especially at the Panthers). If he's playing like ass, Gus will find a way to move him on.

 

[Westernised Panther]

You already have a speedhump in Maloney,why would you want a second one in "jimmy the jet" ...both cant tackle to save themselves

Not James Roberts you moron

This is great news, and reading between the lines is also good news for Ciraldo, as I assume him continuing on as coach would have helped.

I hope the twitter-based rumoured person is Latu.

Even better, the 2016 version of Latu! I believe he's our answer to Fifita. Big body, good offload and some skill of a half.

Never wanted him gone in the first place.

Sounds like Nathan wanted Ciraldo as coach. Wouldn't be surprised if that's why Griffin was sacked.

If not for Jimmy and his big mouth.

The list of reasons is very long with the fact that he's a shit coach right at the top

Don’t count your chickens yet re. Nathan Cleary, will wait until the club announces it, that click bait article headlines that it’s done, but then goes on that he’s expected to sign within the next 48 hours....

1. Shit coach
2. Not a very good coach
3. Shockingly bad coach
4. Nathan wants Ciraldo
Etc.

Saw that. Dodgy buggers.

We certainly need a strong middle forward, and this could be the man. The price would be right, too.

58% over three season in the toughest competition the sport has anywhere in the world. If being a poor coach is top of the list the others below it must be sad indeed.

I'm sticking with not getting along with the Fuhrer.

Michael Chammas is a good journo, and has a great record with this stuff.
Pretty sure he broke the news of Griffin being sacked on NRL.com 24 hours before the club did too.

I haven't seen Chammas and @Panther_Daz in the same room just saying.

 

[Buzzard Breath]

There’s a rumour on Twitter today saying an ex player wants to come back on a reduced deal, hint was he had a bad year at his new club, I’m thinking Carty

I am thinking Latu. He had a poor year. The Titans are stacked for middle forwards.
I don't believe he was too keen to go up to Qld in the first place. There was rumours of him wanting to come back to a Sydney club a month ago.
Carty could come home or more likely he could link up with his Uncle at Manly.
