Well our geniused Management strike again. During lunch I rang my contact at Windsor to hear if any possible gains for next year. As surely we must have someone planned they can't be that stupid!!! Guess what the word is Cooper has agreed to terms with the Cowboys Great stuff Management knobs

Are we seriously complaining about losing Gavin Cooper? I mean sure he's a solid backrower who does his job and won't let anyone down, but c'mon the guy is fringe FG material, I'm actually happy to see him go as it means Elliot wont play him and Smith in the same side

No it just goes to show Management has no idea. Graham, Cooper, Pritchard gone. Possible replacements in Blair, Penese, Paulo also gone. We aren't just losing depth but starters AND depth

Well has Penese actually done much since his FG debut?

Is Paulo confirmed? He niehter has impressed me much

Losing Blair is a shame, particularly with Purtell starting in FG, that's a head scratcher IMO.

McKendry is a must IMO

Penese was going to be a standout player.He is just out of u20 and learning.People should not judge a players talent or progress based on not being selected in first grade.

Cooper would be a loss as he can play several position and play them well.You need several players of his caliber to go with your stars or there is no balance
My question to MR Leary have not been answered on P1 and i will be suprised if they are

Paulo and Penese have been outstanding for Windsor so as I said I would of kept both in the hope that 1 of them steps up.

Like Blair once Inglis is signed they will sign within 24 hours.

I don't want Smith starting by default. This year has been outstanding coz expect for Purtell every player has had to fight for a spot in the 17.

So we need as many 2nd row options as possible

The issue seems to be that we are just letting too much go and there doesn't seem to be much in the way of outside talent coming in. These players might not be starting material but they've played alright when we've needed them. As franklin said we are losing both starters and depth.

I think Gavin Cooper has had a pretty fair season and has proven he his capable of filling a role in the top 17. He is no world beater but if he is on the move as well it simply belies belief and make's you wonder what is going on at this club. If he goes to the Cowboys that will take there new recruits to about half a dozen. We lose half a dozen and our opposition are recuiting half a dozen. Astonishing. It really is astonishing.

I have no knowledge of the inner workings of the club, and if I didn't read this board and the posters who obviously do have some inside knowledge I would have just assumed Penrith management were clearing cap space for a signing to strengthen the halves.

Maybe ME is trying to free up money to bring more of his mates into the staff considering they have a fulltime coach for 20s next year and two assistants one being Micheal Withers and another im not sure about and a new Strength & Conditioning coach in Lee Hopkins i would imagine these guys dont come for free it seems like loyalty to promoting junior coaches is non existent and i guess penrith will want them guys to stay loyal same old penrith buy names and they will never change........
