Rumoured & Confirmed Signings - Part 5

[Kilkenny]

On age alone he's getting to that point of having to consider his options.

Absolutely, I’m not arguing that, but at present, when need arises he just does his job. Yes his time is close to up, but this season, we may have to call up him from time to time.

 

[murraymob]

Absolutely f**k no to Maria. Can think of very few players I'd like less at my club. He's well past his best anyway.

I can Sharon woods he running around in reggies

Apparently if Uto doesn't play 2 Origin games this year or the Tigers don't make the 8 he's free to leave, man he would be a great replacement

does it count if he is selected in the squad as I am sure he will be

 

[age.s]

TPJ is a pretty decent shout actually. Shouldn't cost a mint and has the capacity to be extremely dynamic. We've gotten good footy out of him previously, if only for a limited period.

 

[The yak]

I can see Spencer coming back to the club one day. I really can.

 

[Red&BlackBear]

What if Panthers don’t go for anyone substantial in 2025 and instead go for Leo Thompson in 2026 he is off contract at the end of next season. He is 24 this year.

Use Leota as a lure to get him here.

I doubt Knights would be silly to let their 2nd best player go.

He won't leave the Knights, they've signed his twin brother for 2025.

 

[Hamstring awareness]

David Fifita?
Has a clause in his contract that makes him a free agent end of this year.
He would have to take a paycut.

Why would he take a pay cut?

 

[Fangs]

So would JFH.

We've let one of our most important players ago on mutual terms. He has done plenty for us and we are doing the same for him and his family in return. In a few years he might be the type of player we want back here if he wants to return to Sydney.

We have done a good job with player relationships the past few years. Success breeds happiness.

 

[Chins get the wins]

Playing prop for Penrith is one of the easier gigs in the NRL if we are being honest. Our backs almost completely carry them in attack. We just need to find or manufacture a nutter who likes to hit hmmmmmmm Marto fits that perfectly

 

[Hamstring awareness]

I love Fish but this is good news. I have been worried about his contract for some time. We can’t have 30 year old props on the coin he was on.

I’ve liked what Henry and Smith have done; tracking a lot better than what Moses and Fish were doing at the same age. We do need another solid front row option though; wouldn’t be adverse to going to the market but not sure throwing a lot of coin at Stefano is the right answer. I like some of the suggestions above about some of the Cronulla players or even @hindy111 ‘s suggestion about Greig. As a left field option, I wonder if JWH would do a cheap one year deal to come off the bench for 20-30 minutes a game?

Another reason why the Warriors will continue to be my second team.

Wow what a horrendous take

I like NAS because he is a big offloading prop and can put afew big shots on...he doesn't have a massive motor but like you said you don't need to do alot of work as a panthers prop. NAS would dominate in our team.

 

[Bred not Bought]

Why would he take a pay cut?

To win a premiership. He is going nowhere at the Tits.

 

[Kilkenny]

I just can’t see us recruiting a big name, it’s not going to happen.

I want a young first grade ready big backrower in the 500k range

Well all good. Not adverse to that at all. I just don’t see it. More than likely either young up and comer or current fringe front rower.

Why would we sit on all that money?

Martin's future has always been prop and Soro is great in the middle.

He said he will never live in Sydney again

Maybe so, I don’t know, but I guarantee there isn’t a pot of gold to magically bring in the marquee man some are already craving. It will be more of the same, fill from within.
