Bullemor is good.

The best on that list on a budget deal is Joe Ofahengaue. I think he'd do an outstanding job off the bench for us. Just depends if we need to middle depth.

TMM won't ever come back
Kepaoa I would be putting in NRL side, he is leading try scorer in Cup

 

[IcemanCleary]

I'd 100% take Bullemor on the right deal

This is probably irrelevant but bullemor actually grew up in the same town as me. He is basically a legend here

 

[Chins]

I've always thought he was good enough to lock down a spot in the right side

 

[Iamback]

Depends if Sorro takes the UK deal

I didn’t realise he was so young. Would have sworn late 20s…

 

[maple_69]

Yeah I've always been keen on Bullemor. He's been raw for a while but always looked to have the tools to be a really dominant forward. He's starting to put it together. Croker also looks the goods for a no frills, hard working bench forward that could thrive at Penrith. If Sexton isn't re-signed by the Dogs he'd be a brilliant back up for Cleary.

Would absolutely be happy to ship Tago off and Sorenson as well (no hard feelings, he's a club legend) and move towards a 21 along the lines of below for next season.

Edwards, McLean, McLean, Alamoti/Talagi, Edgar/Alamoti, Cole/Talagi, Cleary, Smith, Kenny, Henry, Papali'i, Martin, Yeo, Cole/Laurie, Leota, Bullemor/Croker, Garner, Patea, Edgar, Sexton, Sommerton

What about Brian To'o. You forgot the most important player (apart from Nathan and Yeo) in our premiership years. Shame on you...

 

[maple_69]

Haha yep very fair point...Alamoti/To'o right edge is simple then. Talagi will likely either win the 6 or leave.

 

[West Nowra Panther]

Haha yep very fair point...Alamoti/To'o right edge is simple then. Talagi will likely either win the 6 or leave.

I don't know about leave for Talagi, he will be getting a fair pay cheque to learn in the premier system.

Maybe he's already learnt patience! Waiting for his time!

His next contract will be relevant to his learning in this contract.

[Black Panther]

Pahulu, Vaalepu , Moale good Prop options. Hoeter, Talau, Fifita and Wilson could be good targets too.

O'Neill

 

[IcemanCleary]

O'Neill

Mitchell

 

[BossleyPanther]

Blake Taafe would be a great pick up.
Be a good utility and replacement for an aging Edwards in the future.

 

[Black Panther]

How bout Shaq?

He is a big useless plod
