Good that young Geyer is staying, would’ve been sad to see him debuting for another club. I haven’t seen a lot of him but if Bellamy was chasing him like that it’s a pretty good sign. Spencer and now Geyer have knocked back the storm the last two years, very good signs for us, it would be hard to knock back Bellamy given his standing in the game.

Not a signing, Hayden Knowles head of performance is leaving at the end of the year to take up a role with Newcastle next year, big loss

Not penrith related but I read that the dogs have signed cheese, personal terms and all that agreed to except no official announcement until season completion.

Easy to believe with Gus. Cheese is so whole hearted and competitive he might be the first guy Gus has signed to see out a 5 year contract. I just hope it isn't too much for their sake. Probably an 800K contract knowing Gus.

Word around the young guys here in Canberra who know Geyer, he has one of the best work ethics around. Good signs we were able to retain him.

I think Gus goes on about this. The new generation of footballers that know they want to professional footballers as a real profession from a young and some of them are training from a young age to do it. IIRC When Hass told his dad he wanted to be a footballler his dad made him run laps up and down a hill every day from a young age and look at his stamina now. I'm not saying this guy's going to be close to Hass or anything I've never watched him play and I don't know if it's comparable to that what Hass did when he was a kid. But a consistent work ethic in training from a young age is different from guys that get serious about their football when they're 18/19 in regards to athleticism at least.

Any serious young boxer who wants to go be a world champion has to do stuff like brushing mates and parties to train as a kid/teen at a minimum. Rugby League isn't like that but it's closer with each generation.

I thought Spencer knocked back the Bulldogs? I had no idea that the Storm approached him as well?

Theres been a few knocking spencer in the different chats over last few days..

People need to remember hes only 20yo. Most props dont hit there straps till after 26ish.

I have no doubt in the next 2 to 3 years we will be seeing jason Tuamolo like performances from him regularly.

He has all the skills, power, leg speed. Just needs to work on his conditioning, match awareness, discipline and defence.

Im sure its been a frustrating year for him being in and out if the team, especially with no cup. He needs to really look up to fish and yeo over the off season and learn as much as he can from them.

Im sure this time next year he will be a regular and we will be seeing more consistent performances from him.

I not sure people have been knocking him so much, as frustrated for him and perhaps a little disappointed we haven’t seen him develop further. I agree he is young and with his attributes he should develop in leaps and bounds in the next few seasons. We need him to.

Maverik Geyer, John Sagaga and a few other forwards in our juniors are coming thru. I don’t know what happened to the kid we recruited from Manly, Tyreece Tonga, he figured in our early Jersey Flegg games this season up until Round 8 or so and then wasn’t sighted again. Seriously big boy, mobile, athletic and looked really good. Obviously, these kids are a few years away from progressing to the NRL if they are good enough so I would expect our recruitment team would be looking at brining in at least one establised middle in the off season. There was a bit of mail mid season we may have been looking at the Titans Herman Ese Ese who has barely figured for the Titans this season but that went no where. I’m sure we’ll have someone in mind.

He will develop as much as Ivan lets him. Getting very limited minutes off the bench won't do it. He Needs more whether that is FG or NSW Cup, It doesn't matter

I think it was Girds who made a comparison to Jason Taumalolo I’m not sure he is going to reach that level but with proper coaching and development who knows.

The last game Tonga played he was injured, maybe it has put him out for a while, but it made me wonder as well.
