Rumoured and Confirmed signings - Part 4

[herbert henry1908]

The Penrith development players named for 2020 are Shannon Harris, Daine Laurie and Glenn McGrady.

Good to see Laurie in the squad. Hopefully gets some game time in FG after June 30.

Burton still not named in the main squad, nor as a development player.

Laurie needs to put on some muscle for FG, he’s tiny.

Don’t see him getting much bigger tbh, he will end up like a Cody walker or Luke Leary type lightweight. Whether or not he is good enough to make it work remains to be seen.

Damn it! Why am I always late to the "Coastal goes full tard" party?

Might mean he has to move to the halves, he’ll get run over too easily at FB.

Ha, obnoxious little specimen hey?, reminds me of the Bubble boy.

I am sure it will happen soon enough

Wow..I'm totally shattered.
Back on topic, when does the "MAGIC" signing procession start?

It doesn't. Everyone here pretty much knows it. If we sign anyone it would be the typical discards that the Panthers usually sign.

The funny thing is that's much better than signing Latrell

 

[The Realist]

Id take todd Carney in a heartbeat if it came down to Hayne, Falou and Carney

No way. Hayne would be the pick. Reasonable price and can cover any position in the outside backs and 5/8th at a pinch.

Long term yep. I think Latrell is just after the next pay cheque. I'd be shocked if he has any kind of form

Its already started, we have signed Soni Luke!

 

[John Hamblin]

Speaking seriously whats happening with Charlie Staines I was hoping he would be named as one of the development player HEAPS of pace and potential.!!!!!!!!!

I’ve heard it all now.

He'd also cover the bathroom stall position when it comes to training, seriously, he is too far gone, and wouldn't contribute even in the lower grades,
But with Todd Carney atleast his on field attack, and training wouldn't suffer around the team, plus being a country boy who is a premiership winning 5/8th, much like maloney, just seems a better fit in the team environment, than the elitist hayne, who would demand terms, would just have to keep Carneys beer glass light of piss

You'd give a lazy centre with weight issues 1m+ a year?

I'd be happy if latrell went 5/8th and would train hard, on/off the field, otherwise he'd end up as similar to milford at the bronx

He will be one. Not sure why we aren't naming the squads properly

$600k for me is his worth on overs big time

If the tigers sign him as a fb McGuire might sort him out and get great value out of a genuine superstar, that is definitely possible but there have been rumours McGuire doesn't want him for the price and the cub is pursuing him anyway, if this is true and Latrell doesn't kick the laziness in his game then he is going to get exposed a lot more then he did at the roosters, a lot more. McGuire wont like him walking and bludging, its a shit fight waiting to happen.

I think it's a huge risk. McGuire is (I'm told) are hard task masters especially with training. This is really going to work out well for both parties (not). The fullback position requires huge amounts of running. Look at Edwards and his fitness levels.

This has got the possibility of being a car crash with similar outcomes to 90 day fiance.
