4 new signings apparently...

[defunk]

Braith Anasta, Beau Ryan, Anthony Tupou and Chris Heighnington...

2 different sources this has come from today...

Would love to get Heighnington,he and Lewis in back row pushing Plum ip front as 4th front rower would be awesome...

Thoughts?

 

[benntash]

It's all over twitter.. Don't know how much truth is behind it though

 

[umina panther]

Beau is the second worst back In the comp, just behind purtell

Beau is the second worst back In the comp, just behind purtell

I rate him under Purtell. Purtell atleast puts in 100% every week. The other 3 signings are good

 

[Parra Pride]

Lol Beau Ryan.

 

[Guvner]

Rhino unlikely. Others are deep in talks.

 

[soc123_au]

We must be getting Ryan at -100k. Allows a bit of cap space for the other 3. Be pretty good news if it's true.

 

[abpanther]

Great news, Ryan will be a decent depth signing, the other 3 would be great

 

[abpanther]

Is this for 2012 or immediately?

 

[madunit]

I'm starting to grow a new found fondness for the Panthers, purely for taking the crap players from the Tigers.

Would like to get Plummy back, but thanks for taking Daine and now Beauzo genius.

Do you need a halfback, Robert Lui is top shelf /sarcasm

 

[Jellybean]

Anasta will stay at the Roosters

 

[Panther_Daz]

Piss Ryan off and get Gagai ffs. Gagai is stuck behind Hoffman, Reed, Yow Yeh, Hodges, Beale and Copley.

 

[maple_69]

I'm more than happy to take Ryan as depth if it means we've secured the other 3. Would be our biggest recruitment drive in decades.

At the very least we know Gould has the ambition and the pulling power to put us in contention for these top line players.

 

[Panther_Daz]

I still am of the belief we should release at least one of Burns, Walsh or Kingston.

 

[abpanther]

No way I would be releasing Kingston, he's been good for us IMO

 

[madunit]

quiet rumours around that Panthers are looking at Chris Heighington. Hino is contracted to the Tigers for another 2 years I think, but that means sweet f**k all at the Tigers right now (Gibbs had signed til 2015 a month before being shopped off to the Sharks)

 

[Doomednow]

Beau Ryan. Jesus Christ. He had better be for depth.

 

[Big Mick]

If getting Beau Ryan means getting Heighington...assuming Ryan is on no more than $75k I'd be stoked.

8. Civoniceva
9. Kingston
10. Grant
11. Lewis
12. Heighington
13. Anasta

14. McKendry
15. Weston
16. Tupou
17. Seluini

Tell me how that isn't better than what we have now?

That assumes losing Nathan Smith, Trent Waterhouse etc. Considering we'll lose likely 10 players...on decent coin...no reason we can't afford them.

Or putting Anasta at 5/8 and having Sene-Lafao coming onto bench.

 

[Panther_Daz]

1.Lachlan Coote
2.Brad Tighe/David Simmons
3.Michael Jennings
4.Michael Gordon
5.Dane Gagai

Lewis and Anasta in the same side could be interesting.

Both big with ball playing skills and would each attract two defenders when running the ball. They could run off each other quite well.

Plus both have leadership qualities.
