Rumoured & Confirmed Signings - Part 5

[Luke Bowden]

I honestly thought Zac Cini would be they way the club would go? Either way it is great to see us getting one up on the tigers.

Mommers is miles ahead of Cini. He’s ready to go in 1st grade. Cini still has a fair bit of work to do and we wouldn’t have seen him in the NRL side this year.

This is 100% a better deal.

I really like the move. Works well for both clubs. Stoked we’ve leveraged our depth to improve our 17. I think creating a shootout at right centre between Momo and Naden is a no lose situation and it frees May and Burton up to focus on the back row/utility roles.

I’d be in favour of starting Capewell on the right, Martin being our second bench prop and May and Burton rounding out the bench. May can play second row to give the starters a spell and Burton can give Yeo a spell and play a roving lock when things are a bit more open. If a prop goes down Yeo would need to shoulder more straight hit ups with Burton/May taking his role. It’s lighter weight but that’s the way the game is going.

Edwards, To’o, Crichton, Momo/Naden, Staines, Luai, Cleary, Fish, Api, Leota, Kikau, Capewell, Yeo, Burton, May, Leniu, Martin.
I think we’ve strengthened our 17 from 2020 and our depth is quite sufficient short of horrific tolls.

I don't think you can prepare for horrific tolls but we go 1 or 2 deep in every position a very young starting side which will improve. Very happy with the outcome of this off season

Well guys, it’s been fun. Thank goodness this deal finally got done. We need a FB and you need a centre. Laurie wanted to come and Momirovski wanted to leave (as he was not going to start with us), shame he didn’t want to stay and fight. It’s so much better to have players that want to be at the club and deals that are the best tor the players concerned.Any idea on the finer details of the deal? Don’t forget the big difference between Momirovski and Naden is that Momo wants to get across the white line and Naden is just distracted by it! Okay, let’s now work on your FRF problem. Let’s do a swap with Packer for Crichton -both on very similar dollars. Sounds like a great idea? Good luck on winning the GF this year, we’ll see you there next year! Now I have to change my fantasy and Supercoach sides! This site is so much better than the Tigers one, congratulations and well done -especially that Silver Phantom guy!

Cheers DT, feel free to defect, all are welcome on the mighty Panthers band wagon.

Ivan said he played May at centre over Naden because of defence and attack

Naden was off the pace due to struggling with bubble life but Mom. Ticks both those boxes. The fact he was training at 5/8th was good. He goal kicks too and added bonus.

Laurie was develop squad and 4th FB option. This suits both sides very well

Get in on Laurie before his price goes up

I know the game is getting faster, but that’s too light a bench for mine. May, Burton and Martin as a prop is very light. We had enormous success with a big bench in 2020, I don’t see the game changing that much in one off season. Our best team was actually the one with 3 big props on the bench.

Not sure west’s would release him without some form of compensation

 

[betcats]

Mom seems like more of the style of centre Ivan wants with him playing a bit of half and if he is good defensively cleary will love that. Naden will play plenty of games as the next guy in line, he can play right or left and he’s a better winger than centre so he would be covering all four outside back spots. Having this quality depth gives us time to wait for Turuva or one of the others to really demand to be picked and even then they will have to wait for an injury.

 

[GongPanther]

Like many, he was a dickhead on the sauce. But yes, most definitely underrated as a player. I remember him giving Andrew Johns an absolute bath in Newcastle in 2003. Not many managed that. And still they won't give him his award.

May have been part of the Trade. We get Mommers and DT.

They get Laurie and Jane.

If Staines is a big hit and moves to Fullback, it’ll open up a wing spot for Naden, which is where he’s more suited. Although that would be very unlikely this year, unless there’s an big injury to Edwards.

You have lost me?

Momers is good, you’ll see, I’m sad to see him go. He’ll play more NRL then nsw cup for you. Wish him all the best

Really hope Laurie is worth it

He will be Vic. In fact, he'll be that kind of shining light that will make him the poster boy of WT. Better times ahead for your team.

How about we swap the entire squads and coaching staff?

After a few beers, Gowie got his lad out, and rotated it like a helicopter.

 

[GongPanther]

In FG, but I think Momirovksi might’ve played more centre throughout the grades.

In 2018 he played as centre for the Roosters in their prelim semi v Souths in which the Roosters won, and Momo scored. I think the score was 16-4.

Highly unlikely. The Panthers were in the box seat.

Google is your friend. Google Craig Gower helicopter and all will be made clear.

I googled it, and I was surprised, to be honest. Craig Gower was a very naughty little boy when on the piss.
