Rumoured and Confirmed signings - Part 4

[Panther Mick]

I thought Tim Grant retired?

In the paper a month ago he stated he was open for offers for next year.

Shitballs get him the fk back

 

[herbert henry1908]

November 1st is here, may the signings be great & numerous. Although not too numerous as to impact their greatness.

 

[OldPanther]

No worries Frankfurter2323, i thought it might be either Matterson or Capewell

Your name makes me think of this:

 

[MugaB]

Your name makes me think of this:

But there's 2 of us!

 

[BxTom]

But there's 2 of us!

That's called schizophrenia, it's only optional for a Panther's supporter, but it helps.

I am surprised Danny Fualao hasn't been picked up by another club. A decent bench prop who would be a handy 4th or 5th prop option in someone's squad. Cheap too.
He averaged about 87 metres off the bench this year - more than our props off the bench. Averaged over 90 last year.
A good defender and I saw a bit of him this year he seems to charge into the defensive line with vigour. All he needs is to develop his off load more. Still young enough to improve. Surprised someone hasn't thrown him a bone.

Alot of those guys I'd expect to get a start after the bigger names are sorted out

 

[age.s]

Plenty of good depth options there. Riley Jacks or Sam Williams would be great depth half options. Wouldn't mind seeing TMM back. Takairangi, Sorensen, Hunt, Field, Sailor and Perrett are decent players who wouldn't break the bank.

TMM I don't think is what we need. An organiser we need Williams would be ideal.

Assuming Walker and Glenn aren't available.

I'd go Takarangi. Williams. Capewell. Thompson. Fualalo

Of course depending what contracted players are available

 

[herbert henry1908]

TMM may never play again last I heard. But he’s the totally wrong 5/8 outside of Cleary.

 

[CCJohnC]

I think Lloyd Perrett may be useful buy.

Taka is a good player.

 

[franklin2323]

Taka is a good player.

Can play backrow if Naden and co develop faster then expected but a good solid centre in the meantime

I am so glad that you’re not in charge of recruitment,

 

[OldPanther]

Problem is the available list is actually pretty sad this year. Most will be injury cover etc.

 

[Bob]

Instead of someone else’s plodders we should be looking at young up and comers, for our much needed centre position I’d look at Zac Lomax, Enari Tualau, or even Euan Aitken, front rower I’d have a serious crack at Alex Twal and to a lesser extent I’d try to get Olly Clark back

I rate the top 17 moving forward. Just need to replace Winterstein etc so can ease the kids into it over the next couple of years

Those guys aren't off contract for 2020 though...

 

[Bob]

Those guys aren't off contract for 2020 though...

Twal, Clark, Aitken and Lomax end of next year, Tualau is off contract, cowboys didn’t renew him, former Australian schoolboys player, played all his junior football at right centre, right side player so green plays him left side wing, Lomax is talking to the tigers atm, Aitken has been told he is free to go
