    Rumoured and Confirmed signings - Part 4

    I just threw out the Cowboys name as a team struggling, but you're right Tigers would of been a better example.

    Rumoured and Confirmed signings - Part 4

    It's overs for sure, but if I'm the Dogs / Titans / Cowboys I honestly think I'm close to taking the punt. $500k a year likely isn't going to completely harpoon your cap management if it doesn't quite work out.

    W/T round 16: The grudge cup.

    Hope Burns gets a decent run. He's shown he has talent & ability, many on here just suffer from recency bias.

    Rumoured and Confirmed signings - Part 4

    I think it's pretty rare for a young player to think like that though. These boys are all pretty confident if their own ability & if another team is offering you the keys to the car, a wage x5 of what you're on & a longer term contract, I think most would jump at that. I know I would.

    Round 15 vs Sharks

    Thought Edwards was strong again. Breaking tackles for fun atm. Heavily underrated by a lot of panther supporters & the general public / media.

    W/T round 16: The grudge cup.

    I’d slot Burns straight in. I also don’t want to sit through May on an edge again.

    2020 R15 Fri - Panthers 38-12 Sharks @ Panthers

    Talakai would be on a tenth of what Graham is being paid & does ten times the work.

    Round 15 vs Sharks

    Surprised other teams haven’t targeted him In defence but he’s doing his job as a stop gap for the time being.

    Rumoured and Confirmed signings - Part 4

    I could be wrong but he signed with the Titans, played a season or two, then his contract got upgraded massively. I still think it's different though. Titans built there entire attack around Taylor, I don't think Staines would be the same. He'd be X factor rather than the main man, although he...

    Rumoured and Confirmed signings - Part 4

    All of them were established first graders. Staines has played 3 games. Nothing alike imo.

    Rumoured and Confirmed signings - Part 4

    Who? Taylor? You sign him up on a 2 year deal @ $500k PA, it’s hardly going to destroy your salary cap if it doesn’t work. Staines isn’t being bought to be the team organiser or even the main man in attack, so much less pressure on him. He’s there to add something extra top in offence, you’re...

    Rumoured and Confirmed signings - Part 4

    I think Ponga was a good case study for lower teams taking a punt on inexperienced players with potential. IMO if you’re a Tigers / Bulldogs with little to no ‘x factor’, putting a $500k deal to Staines seems like a bit of a no-brainer.

    Not even a nibble. We need to start losing again ASAP.

    Isn’t this about the time of year where we sack the coach anyway?

    Round 15 vs Sharks

    I wasn’t a massive fan of the Tetevano signing but I’ve come around to it especially with Hethero out of the 17. His speed & aggression in defence gives him the ability to put a hit on that changes momentum. We have plenty that can do it with the ball, not sure we have that many who can do it...

    Round 15 vs Sharks

    Its Leniu for me. Harsh call but he’s clearly behind Leota & Tetevano in the rotation & getting the lesser minutes. Tetevano might not bring a hell of a lot with the ball but he brings a bit of intimidation & aggression in defence.

    How good is Talakai going. Can’t keep them all but man he’s been impressive. Could of brought a lot to our team.

    I love Jack, good player & entertainment wise it’s brilliant watching him. I hope we don’t re-lease him.

    Go easy mate, there's a line up for that. It's not a walk up start.

    I must be getting old or just stupider if I'm agreeing with @WestyLife & @betcats
