Confirmed Signings

[Captain Apollo]

FYI - There is no longer a cooling off period for contract signings.

This is what occurs now if a player gets an offer from another club -

Wow. Fish is a huge loss and came from nowhere.

Our front row has been decimated already.

This is eerily similar to when the Warriors signed RTS from the Roosters.

 

[Leber]

Can he come now? We will give them Pompey.

No my friend we have a premiership to win first.

You already won 3. Dont be greedy.

 

[Apey]

Should have left after 2023 and gone out a winner.

 

[Chins get the wins]

You've tried this for the last few years sweetie

 

[Fangs]

It'll be Penrith v Warriors 2024 grand final.

You'll lose which is fine. It will give the team the hunger to go for it in 2025. It will be a great NRL story.

Our starting middle of Leota, Fish and Yeo are all closing in on thirty with the associated wear and tear.

I thought next year would be when murmurs began about refreshing the middle.

This is a shock but Fish has given everything on the field for Penrith and I hope he kills it at the Warriors taking them to a grand final loss each season he is there.

I’d totally take that.

 

[Fangs]

I’d totally take that.

Its the ideal scenario for NRL fans.

We all get the Penrith grand final win in 2024 which makes everyone happy. And the Warriors get another opportunity in 2025 (And probably win against the hapless Broncos).

Johnson and RTS retire as winners. PVL announces NZ team 2 for 2027. NZRU collapses and RL dominates the great land of NZ for the rest of time.

Who saw that coming? Fair replacement for AFB.

 

[Vee]

Approached Panthers this week with the request so sounds like there was absolutely no push back by the Panthers

Frees up boatload of cap space, they may keep Turuva now. And NZ let AFB go so their offer probably blew Panthers best out of the water as the Cats have numerous signed longterm, including paying overs for their centres IMO.

Liam Henry looks a good replacement, others coming through?

you spelt upgrade wrong.

 

[Wb1234]

Yeah we have a few internal options longer term, whether they are ready yet is the question

Sick mother back home. Hence Warriors were the only team that could get him

Fair enough

he’s going to be missed unlike everyone else you’ve let go

I'll never forget watching JFH and Yeo coming through, thinking they would be solid FGers but nothing special.

Worst mistake I've made since wondering why the Cows kept Michael Morgan on the the books through the juniors, boy did I get that one wrong LOL!!!

Ha ha, I remember Yeo debuting in the centres & being pissed Ivan picked "this plodder" over it was either George or Rob Jennings. Shows how much I know....

Always though Fish would be something pretty good though.
