Rumoured Signings 2014

[851]

Josh Mansour in negotiations with Souths.

Would be a huge loss for Penrith,but they have bought a thousand players in the last 2 off seasons,so something has to give,but then again the dogs don't think that is the case.

 

[chrisD]

DWZ will be first grade material, Nabuli and K.Naiqama likely. If the Panthers forum is an indication most fans would like to see him tried in the back row before being moved on to another club, but moved out of the way of the faster guys all the same.

 

[mxlegend99]

We need to keep Mansour ahead of Simmons and Moylan. He's not as gifted as Nabouli, Naiqama, DWZ, Jennings etc. but he is consistant and nearly always leads our metres gained and offloads.

 

[billypilgrimnz]

Yeah, Mansour > Simmons, easily.

 

[Big Mick]

If Souths want to make a huge offer to Mansour I'm happy to see him go. I like the guy and like how hard he runs etc but imo wingers are easiest position to replace and we have a stack of guys capable of filling in next year including DWZ, Moss, G.Jennings, Blake, Naiqama, Nabuli.

If we can keep Mansour at a reasonable rate then that would be awesome but re-signing him for only 1 year last season should give you an indication of his future I'd imagine.

I'll be upset if he goes but if it is for a huge sum then I wont be throwing the toys out of the cot like others would. But if he goes for a reasonable amount then I'll probably have some questions.

 

[Different kind of Rabbit]

Mansour should never have been released by Souths in the first place. John Lang let him go because he had to chose between Mansour and Sean Corrigan. Lang thought Corrigan was the better footballer. Just about every Souths fan at the time was left scratching our heads. We had been singing Mansours praises and waiting for him to debut for a good 12 months.

 

[Packy]

Oi Penny chuck a couple of wingers at the Dogs plz. Fullback too. Whare or Kevie N will do.

Whare is an amazingly talented footballer, but he is an awful fullback. It's centre or nothing for him. You can have David Simmons... he'll cover fullback or wing for you. ;-)

Backs seem to be growing on trees out your way. Looks like Robert Jennings will be in the mix soon too.

 

[maple_69]

Yep we're flush atm. Not a peep heard out of Penrith fans when the very talented Roberts was let go. Losing a guy that talented a few years ago would been a big setback.

 

[POPEYE]

Mansour back to Souths shouldn't be classified as poaching, more like regaining senses. The bloke is more than a winger, he's a threat anywhere he decides to run . . . Origin material

 

[Tommy Smith]

Strong mail apparently that Tedesco is heading to the Roosters.

I'm not sure why we need him given we have RTS. Maybe he'd play centre.

Quite frankly I think this would be sad for the competition.

But ultimately clubs can only blame themselves for managing their caps so poorly.

Oh I lol'd.
I lol'd hard.
I think I shat myself.

 

[Tommy Smith]

Oh ... so you think the Panthers managed their cap well before Gould came on board?

It was smart for Parra to spend 500k on Sandow? And the Tigers 500k on Blair?

 

[bottle]

Can't read, tears in eyes, still lol'ing.

 

[tumbidragon]

:lol:

 

[soc123_au]

I have a bit of man love for Mansour. It would be sad to see him go. If he does then Souths would be a fair cop. Too slow as a winger, but too much ticker not to be in the 17.

 

[Vic Mackey]

I'd be surprised if he went to the roosters considering they've been grooming RTS to replace mini for like 3 years now. But then again it is the roosters, they're run more like a business then any other club.

if tedesco ends up at the roosters il give it away.

As would I, possibly sign him with the intention of playing at centre but I doubt there's many fullbacks who'd give up the fullback spot to go play in the centres at another club.

Sounds like his manager is just doing a good job to me.

Rumours that the Roosters are spending SBW's salary on player X, Y & Z will be coming thick and fast all season.
