Confirmed Signings - 2012/13

[Sean18]

Gus has gone mad :lol: :lol:

 

[Big Mick]

Phew. Been told...purely depth signings.

Thank christ. Be spewing if they were signed as regular first graders.

Actually not that upset with the signings. Both will provide decent depth and will do their job when called upon.

unless there are more signings they are more than depth signings considering how many are leaving

 

[Big Pete]

Still a few players capable of stepping up at Penrith.

I rate Armit as a handy depth signing, will fill in for Bell nicely. Ciraldo though...why even bother?

 

[The Joker]

When is Glenn Hall off contract? As an honest toiling journeyman, there's a Panther's jersey with his name on it

He's still got another year to run on his contract.

 

[Charlie124]

If he keeps up the form he's shown this year id be happy to offer him another contract to be honest.

 

[franklin2323]

FFS Chris Armit and Cameron Ciraldo.
FMD Gus.

Yep. The spoon is coming! from our ft squad pack we lost: Petero, Bell, Waterhouse, Paulo, Laurie & have added these 2 hopeless clowns.

Great work gus. Stop writing stupid articles predicting the death of league & sign some players

To be fair 2 of those players you mentioned are also certified hopeless clowns so it's pretty much a straight swap. Bit harsh on Armit though tbf. I don't think he'll let us down.

Obviously would like to see more on the recruitment front before next year.

 

[Tizzun]

Gould will have something in mind for the Panthers from a signings perspective. Maybe Cleary will bring a few Warriors players with him?

 

[franklin2323]

Mainly our forward pack. Without signings this is our full strength pack:

Grant, kingston, McKendry, Smith, Plum, Lewis.

That is the worst pack in the comp. No aggression, no offloads. So far no signings improve that team??

 

[Packy]

Armit comes cheap, is durable and trains hard. I reckon it's a good pickup for you guys.

 

[>zuzu<]

Being a die hard dogs supporter, its sad to see Armit go. He has been playing with us since 2005, and really gets the job done when called upon. Is a consummate professional when it comes to work both on and off the pitch, does a lot for the community, and really helped us when our depth was tested.

Absolute champion bloke too. He wont let you down, I can tell you that much. Its just a shame about all the signings of Graham, Tolman and emergence of Kas and Taupau. He was well below the pecking order.

Of course. Given our 3 props are Grant, McKendry and Weston. He adds valuable experience. He doesn't add aggression or offloads. We need that to move up the table.

Our squad this year wasn't good enough. As yet we have only replaced what we lost not improved our squad. Just 1 year I would like a signing before August

Disagree with you there mate.

You had the experience of last years wonderful run, talisman players in Lewis and Civo, a halves pairing really starting to understand their game, and the ever underrated fullbacks in Coote and Gordon.

Injuries have been your biggest demise this year. Could of easily been at the very least, fighting it out with the Rabbits and Knights for 8th spot. And up until 2 weeks ago, you were.

Agree, with no injuries we should of been top 8 easy. Losing Gordon, Coote, Jennings and Lewis for extended periods as well as all the fringe players that have been injured has ruined our season as well as the off field bullshit.

Our front row for next season will still be better then most IMO, we are set at hooker and have one of the best backrower/lock in the game in Lewis. One good backrower signed would make our pack look pretty good but i dont think we'll get that. There is some talent floating around the club in NYC and NSW cup as well.

 

[Goldthorpe]

Panthers likely line-up for 2012?

01. Lachlan Coote
02. Michael Gordon
03. Brad Tighe
04. Michael Jennings
05. David Simmons
06. Travis Burns
07. Luke Walsh
08. Tim Grant
09. Kevin Kingston
10. Sam McKendry
11. Nathan Smith
12. Nigel Plum
13. Luke Lewis [c]

14. Chris Armit
15. Cameron Ciraldo
16. Dayne Weston
17. Nafe Seluni

With coach Cleary on board you might see Brad Tighe and Michael Jennings in the Second Row replaced by Nathan Smith and Nigel Plum?

 

[>zuzu<]

Whats Buddy Gordon like at Penwiff?

It seems he has a bit of a trend with his last 2 clubs. Hit the straps early on, makes grade and rips in for a season. Then just gets lazy.

Has he even been cited yet in FG for the Panthers yet?

3 games off the bench in Rounds 08, 10 and 11. He went ordinary.

 

[>zuzu<]

Such a waste of talent.

He and Eastwood were epic off the bench for us in 09. Now they both just seem fat and lazy
