Rumoured and Confirmed signings - Part 4

[Westernised Panther]

I think Kenny has plenty of improvement in him, I’m confident he’ll lock down the bench hooker spot.

Plus he could fill in at lock

You're probably right but if Egan can get his running game going again like when he was playing 20s he could be very damaging in the final 20 of games

The fact Gus didn't know who Sivo was in the trial is a sign that it was more then one person

Or his eyes are f**ked and he couldnt recognise him in an Eels jersey. Or he was trying to be funny. Or embarrassed that it was a Panther we failed to keep scoring against us.

There's no way he didnt know who he was when he was with us. He watched too many lower grade games and Sivo scored too many tries to go unnoticed.

At any rate we lost him when we shouldn't have. Hook was the guy who didnt want him in the NRL. Picking Philips and Crichton.

No guarantee Ivan would have rated him either. But he has sure as hell given just about every wing option he could a run.

If that's true than Griffin deserved to go for that alone.

Gus only took notice of those we developed. If Gus wanted someone we kept them. What other wingers did we have to play instead of those 2?

From what you have seen and heard about Gus. Do you honestly think if he rates someone he gets rid of that player? The issue with Jed this year proves Gus did what he wanted

 

[10Grand]

Gus has a great vision in what a successful club should be all about,His a motivator in the Anthony Robbins class and then life happens and his personality clouds his judgement,it becomes his way or the highway.
Just watch what happens with Dragons now that they have invited him to the fold.He will make so much sense and after 3 years he will leave it no better then he found it..

He ran the club as a fan not a hard nosed Administrator

Panthers is far better off now than before Gus.

I hope he does! He showed heaps of potential, he just hasn’t been able produce it in the NRL.

Long term yes. Short term no we have some bad contracts to offload

 

[franklin2323]

Perfect way to put it. Overstepped his mark plenty as a result

The club shouldn't have played him and Yeo this year. Should have got themselves right physically and had a good pre-season.

When the option is Katoa......Egan had to play

 

[OldPanther]

When the option is Katoa......Egan had to play

I'll admit that's a pretty compelling argument.

 

[Panfa]

Rather than buy hargraves or prior just throw kikau to prop thats what he used to play before we moved him to edge backrower and grab a graham.

 

[MugaB]

/\This /\ we got depth to cover 2nd rowers, kikau thru the middle will tire their fwds out, enough for the little guys to cut through

Yep he struggles with the full 80 so going to the middle could work well.

Then you lose how he is best trampling over guys half his size

 

[herbert henry1908]

No harm in trying Kikau at prop, might even see our outside backs get more ball.

He could still occasionally stand a bit wider for an attacking play.
