Rumoured and Confirmed signings - Part 4

[GongPanther]

Someone should share this with Phil Slothfield, since it was him that couldn’t comprehend this.

Ben Ikin and Paul Kent went on record during an episode of NRL360 a couple of years ago and said that they scoured every media piece concerning the so-called 5 year plan and they could not find one piece of evidence that suggests that Gould has said that the 5-year plan was to win the premiership. Slothfield, to my knowledge, has not commented or responded since

I'm still waiting for NRL 360 to win a Logie for "Champagne Comedy Show Of The Year".

Tyrone May has agreed to a 1 year extension.

Aka Aidan Tolman.

or Russell Packer?

 

[MugaB]

or Russell Packer?

I wouldn't mind Russel at the foot of the mountains, he is very loose, but when Ivan got him to WT, he was their leader and basically owned every fwd pack for that year, until that last month of that season, too bad for packer that he is stuck at a batshit crazy club, he really hates Ivan now, i wonder if he would ever consider working with him again?
i meet packer that great year the tigers had where they beat up all the top teams and won by like a few points, and watched origin with him, hes a pretty funny guy, but very straight fwd, and myopic, your either with him or against him, that translates on the field with his agro

No thanks. Packer is a right out grub, and he is a coward.

 

[chrisD]

JFH, Leota, Tetavano, Leniu will be the first 17, and mong head Hetherington (unfortunately) will be depth, and we just need another near minimum depth journeyman signing, someone like Matagi.

Parker would be too expensive......On huge money.

not with a discount from the Tigers.

I’m not suggesting we should sign him by the way, I think he’s best years are behind him.

 

[martielang]

I'd probably looking at Aiden Guerra. He's playing on an edge at the moment but more than capable to play in the middle for a year or two.

 

[Tronald Crump]

No to Packer.

I run harder than him and I can be signed for a few bourbons and pies .Past his best no thanks

The same Matagi that played for us in 2014? Didn’t realise he was still running around.

He was good for us that year.

For all the talk around his ill discipline Jack Hetherington has more upside than almost anyone you could throw up to bring in as a recruit. If we can’t retain Tamou I think Jack steps straight into the job, offers the same as Tamou only younger and is yet to really hit his peak. For me it is a no brainer we just need to show faith in Hetherington and I have no doubt he will deliver even if there may be a risk of an unfortunate suspension along the way.

He is Penrith's 2021 MG.

100% agree

 

[John Hamblin]

100% agree

Jack has huge upside ORIGIN is not beyond him, He is off contract after 2021 so he will want to play well next year!!!!

If we can’t retain Tamou there’s no reason to think Hetherington will be playing regular first grade. He was sixth in the prop rotation this year, he’ll likely only get game time if there’s an injury.

 

[franklin2323]

Even if Tamou goes Hetherington is still 5th choice prop. Maybe 6 if Martin makes the move

 

[Blues Riff]

...he really hates Ivan now, i wonder if he would ever consider working with him again?

Ivan gave Packer his debut at the Warriors. He was also the one visting in gaol when he was public enemy #1. Got him a nice contract at the Tigpies. So packer hates him now? Why's that? Ah yes that's right, Ivan changed jobs.
Don't believe Hooper's drivel. Packer, or any of the other flogs in that team would be honoured to wear the Penrith jersey. We don't need them though.
