Ariu is the best half/five eighth we have,looks like he would be a good little hooker 2..
Its not 'would' they be in our squads..its 'why' arnt they?
dylan is in the squad but as a hooker i dont think so defence is his biggest problem and thats what a good hooker has to do to many good hookers in front of him

stretcher im hearing jakiel and jaye fuimaono are both off too parramatta next year any feed back boys.?
Don't know but the both go to Patties, and one of the staff there is strongly affiliated to Parramatta. Shy Fuimaono missed out on Matts train on, be interested if he is going to Parra as well. We will have to wait and see.

They both are apparently on contract with Penrith. If they go the proverbial will hit the fan. Relationships with Parra will be tested.

Why is it so difficult for us to keep our superstar juniors?????

You do not need a degree in rocket science to answer your own question?

Seriously, review the outgoings since 2003 and compare same with the incomings and you will have your answer.

While the 2003 GF winning side needed a clear out when Matt Elliot took over the clearout extended far beyond the top grade to the extent we are now struggling to retain many representative quality junior stars.

If there is mediocrity in the boardroom and management ranks there will ultimately be mediocrity in the coaching and playing ranks.

The Panthers will never, ever enjoy a period of sustained on field success until such time as we sort out the obvious issues in the boardroom and management ranks.

I heard they were going to parra because sheim got an opportunity at parra as ayear young player and why do we lose our juniors its because the recruitment team at penrith dont like paying to keep loyal players would rather pay queenslanders overs and when they dont work out they try and save face by saving wasted money elsewhere IMO....

that is so true,jack gibson once said you have to get the front office in order first to succeed on the field. if anyone knows the fuimano boys and how they play you would secure them at penrith.i know there dad had alot to do with it and looking after there future and good luck to them. but if penrith want to win another first grade grand final in 5yrs instead of 10yrs, they better start looking after there talented juniors better or they keep leaving. start with mr jones first.
