Rumoured & Confirmed Signings (2025 Season)

[hindy111]

Jesse McLean is 100% closer to Christian Crichton than he is to Stephen Crichton. C’mon man.

The fact he hasn't made it by now suggests he probably isn't going to be much more then an average NRL player at best

What a load of crud. Most players need arounf 30 games before they can be considered NRL level.

We have a lot of edge forwards but plenty of them could be let go without too much regret.

Marto & Garner should be our starters with Papali’i the bench edge/middle. Lipowicz is then next up and Clarke moving closer.

Sorro could be moved on if he can get a longer deal elsewhere and go out a club legend. Hassett/Mav may be late bloomers but it’s unlikely, if they get a shot elsewhere they should take it.

Don't forget we got harry Armstrong too, he's got a lot of potential

He is still only 20. I thought he was 21/22 now.
In general backs if good will make NRL by around the age of 20. I hope he makes it.
Casey,Alamoti,Balize are examples of young backs who are ahead of him.

Maybe you should stick to the Parra forum. Your knowledge of Penrith juniors seems a bit off the mark.

Jesse tries hard but I’m not sure he is quite NRL level.

His pathway with us is tough, but with two new sides in the near future perhaps he may get an opportunity there.

The guys in Jersey Flegg will jump over his spot by end of next season if not earlier.

After his last outing i think Papali is the Fish replacement in the frontrow .
He ran hard with a fast play the ball being low built to the ground making him harder to hold up and dance with then say Lindsay .

I keep hoping Jesse does well, l can recall everyone talking up Waddell, Waqa and Jimmy Roberts but nobody was getting a woodie over Yeo, Martin or TO’O. Hope he takes his opportunities. Nothing wrong with being stock standard first grade not everyone can be Nathan.

I was hard for the great man very early on.

 

[Kilkenny]

Jesse will have to move on in order to find a spot somewhere in another side. Well down the pecking order here and unlikely to change.

Bryce Cartwright signs with St Marys... Interesting

Loved the Carty Party back in the day, but that shipped sailed a long time ago.

That 2023 year he had was amazing and your probably right he peaked, but I'm sure he would do better job then some of the dead wood we have if he moved to Panthers top30

Very talented, but didn't match the talent with hard work.
