NRL 2021: Penrith Panthers sign Scott Sorensen from Cronulla

Penrith have added some much-needed depth to their forward stocks following the departures of James Tamou and Zane Tetevano.

Penrith have replenished their forward stocks with the signing of former Sharks forward Scott Sorensen.

Without a club for 2021 after failing to be re-signed by the Sharks last season, the strong ball-runner has received a lifeline from the Panthers.

Sorensen met with Penrith coach Ivan Cleary on Friday before agreeing to the 12-month contract.

An edge or middle forward, the 27-year-old will add NRL quality depth to the Panthers forward pack following the departure of James Tamou to the Tigers and Zane Tetevano to the UK Super League.

Sorensen, the nephew of former Kiwi Test forwards Dane and Kurt, played 37 games for the Sharks and also appeared twice for the Raiders in 2017.

Yep, from the detail provided by Bob, a 12 month minimum contract is decent business by the club.

Brings a few years of experience. It is why I rate the 2021 squad as a whole better. Not sure the top 17 is but as a whole we are well placed to back up last season

Sorensen is a solid pick up. Big motor, good first contact and can mix it up in the middle or on the edge. Has an error or two but I can live with that.

I respect the f**k out of the club for not announcing pissy little signings to build hype. The club finally looks like they know their worth, lets win comps not be nice losers
