    2025 Hostplus Cup

    SC Falcons 28 def. PNG Hunters 6 Falcons: Sua Fa'alogo, Grand Anderson, Cody Hunter, Mitch Henderson, Josh Billing, Angus Hinchey, Nelson Asofa-Solomona Hunters: Morea Morea, Finley Glare, Zebedy Kip, Murray Connors Hunters were missing a bunch of regulars. Falcons dominated. NAS was great...

    2025 Hostplus Cup

    Round 2: Hostplus Cup 2025 - Standout Performers I'm going to pick a handful of players each week to highlight for those that want a little glimpse into what's going on the QLD Cup. It won't just be guys who killed it but also just inspecting how some of the NRL guys go when playing reggies...

    Rumoured / Confirmed Signings

    As much as I agree with the sentiment, this is his career. If the Dragons offer him the best deal and he convince him one of those wing spots is his next year, he'd be stupid to re-sign with Cronulla for less money and 2 rep stars ahead of him on the wings. Of course if it were up to me I'd...

    Rumoured Targets 3

    100% Agree with this. There's potential for sure for continued success, but if Burton & Sexton don't really go up a level, Tracey is getting old fast and they don't have a clearcut back-up there. Loss of Addo-Carr is legit, but their forward pack does appear to get better in pretty much every...

    Rumoured Targets 3

    I think the recent failures in the FA market are all about AOB. If I was a player and I listened to any of his press conferences, I'd put a red marker through Newcastle whilst he's coaching. He just does not seem to back his players unless they are absolutely bonafide superstars. His comments...

    Rumoured & Confirmed Signings (2025 Season)

    EDIT: I apologise, I see now that you mean Isaiah Scanlan. He was actually in the Panthers SG Ball squad in 2024, but injury kept him from appearing. I can see he did play a Sydney Shield game with St. Mary's this year, so not sure what the full story is there. He was very highly rated at Tweed...

    The Rumours Thread

    Adding a Matt Lodge-type player as many suggest to the Dragons current squad doesn't change anything. There aren't many middles that I think would be worth pursuing, but if Cronulla end up offloading Braden Hamlin-Uele, he could actually impact games. If both Molo & Ackers are write-offs, the...

    Rumoured Targets 3

    Outside of the guys that have been mentioned, its worth keeping a close eye on the Cowboys, Raiders & Bulldogs halfback situation. If the Cowboys don't hand the keys to Tom Duffy from the get go, he's off contract at the end of the year already and definitely would be an upgrade over current...

    Penrith Panthers lower grades 2024

    With a bit more time now but still now squad list, I think now we're looking at: 1. Daine Laurie 2 J. McLean 3. A. Kepoa 4. D. Fale 5. P. Hotere-Papalii 6. T.Toelau 7. B. Schneider 8. L. Patea 9. L. Sommerton 10. A. Dias 11. L. Garner 12. M. Geyer 13. R. Price 14. S. Luke 15. Z. Lipowicz 16...

    Rumoured & Confirmed Signings (2025 Season)

    My count is 28 Panthers contracted to Top 30, 4 Supplementary Deals, Harry Armstrong would be a 5th though obviously no confirmation as to what deal he is on. Tom Jenkins is going to play in the Ron Massey Cup so he won't take a spot yet. I can't figure out what kind of deal Zach Clarke is on...
