Rumoured and Confirmed signings - Part 4

[franklin2323]

Heard a whisper we may have been interested in Hymel Hunt. Not gonna happen now given the developments with Ramien.

Ramien has the higher ceiling if we can get him for $300k then good deal. For me we should use Maloney's money on:

Ramien keep in NSW Cup if he struggles. Tackle breaking ability, played finals footy and is only 22

Peachey to fill Luai role off the bench.

Sam Williams. Experienced, played finals games, currently in NSW Cup so wouldn't complain if he wasn't in FG

 

[age.s]

Completely agree on Williams in particular. He's just on the cusp of being good enough to run a NRL team but still at the level where he won't spit the dummy if left in CC. Good depth option.

If he left Canberra it would be more likey to somewhere like the dogs where he'd see first grade imo

 

[herbert henry1908]

Lol. From manly beach to the nepean river? Lol

“I know it’s ridiculously unlikely”

of course but that is the style players I'd target. given the likely squad

We could have a lot more money to play with soon. None of those players will command a big salary here at Penrith. We need to be thinking about a marquee signing to add to the players you've listed.

As for Williams, I'd be looking at him as a hooker. Or any half for that matter. It worked with Wallace for a time and we don't look likely to sign a decent 9 so maybe try and manufacture one.

Nothing after this year

I find that hard to believe.

Hopefully we do. No RCG would really give us a warchest to play with

How often does marquee players leave though? Better odds of one of the next group behind To'o becoming a star than a marquee player come our way

Getting kerighan or Harris tavita from NZ as a 9 or backup would also be good

Well its the goal we should set. Unlikely we get a Trbojevic but stranger things have happened. I'd be over the moon if we managed to sign Big Jake.

Haven't totally given up on Korisau either. Tigers/Dogs/Warriors will offer more money, but we are the more successful club. Always a chance with that in mind.

I think Cleary wanted him over Segy as well but Gus overruled him? So I would assume they still have a solid relationship.

Wouldn't mind us having a crack at Josh Kerr from the Dragons. Another big body, doesnt get much time at all for them.

Both great for depth. Though again the marquee player should be the first target. We have lost one in Maloney and RCG is on marquee money (Even though he isn't playing like that).

Add in losing strike power in DWZ and Blake. Depth signings have to be our second consideration right now.

No idea about Seg/Korisau.

But I like Josh Kerr.

If we do let RCG go, I wonder if we have a sniff at an elite outside back like Mitchell.

Or maybe we aim for someone a bit below like Scott or Ramien or Isaako.

I doubt Ivan's mate will be making any purchases. He's a business man and thinks like one. Increase profit by cutting costs. Lost sight of the fact that it's a sporting team that has fans that see success on the field as more important than an increase in profits. I also think he's rewriting the history books re Gus too.

Lol every team has to spend their cap you lunatic.

Not the whole cap, I think it’s something like 90% minimum.

marquee players are tough to sign, but at minimum you make the current club pay more. So it’s worth making an offer.

If they like Mt Druitt by the sea they'll be in love with the real thing.

Have the Panthers ever managed to sign a genuine marquee signing though? I struggle to think of any. Maloney and Petero probably the most profile.
