I'd be happier with corey jenson running on as prop for us at 1/8th of the price then that pea heart

It's the price you pay for winning the comp...everyone is worth more and someone has to go. It appears you made the right choice. Aussie Jim is about the most unloved of all Panthers with the local fans. It might change if he lives up to his reputation and pricetag here though.

Reminds me when we bought Adam Blair for the Tigers after he won CC with the Melbourne storm

What a terrible signing that turned out to be.

Thats exactly what this signing is like.

Overpaid for an average at best player. Take out the Panthers backline and Panthers could never get into opposition territory. Tim Browne and James Tamou are the softest starting front row you'll ever see.

Taumololo will make more metres than Browne, Tamou and Leota combined.

Maybe they are both top 8 sides, its not beyond the realms of possibility that they could meet again in week 1. Hopefully in Sydney.

Some similarities, but Adam Blair was a complete and absolute bomb in 2012-2013.

From the words of the great, honourable Phil Rothfield:

Is Wests Tigers' Adam Blair the NRL's worst signing ever? (2013)

Tamou is doing a servicable job in the front row, I don't think the same could have been said of Blair.

So I read in the paper.

Apparently they got dispensation to bring Kyle Laybutt into the team fro outside the original team list.

Wonder if some other clubs would be afforded such leeway from the scum at NRL central....
NRL were probably sympathetic when the Cows told them that the word from the Penrith camp was that at some point during the game, TMM's penis would be ripped off and shoved up his own arse and told "That's another place it doesn't belong!"

Cows have had the wood over the Panthers both home and away in recent years. This will be an interesting game. A saturday night thriller would be nice
