Frank Pritchard wanting out of Penrith

[Martli]

f**k i'd love him at the warriors. He's exactly what we need.

 

[Fast Eddie]

If he does get out of his contract the Warriors NEED to sign him up.

 

[Stagger eel]

it appears the panthers need to sign up a decent PR person rather than keep their players happy at the moment.

 

[The Engineers Room]

Hindmarsh, Pritchard and Mateo....nice back row

We tried to get him last time and just didn't have the money. We still don't have the money.

 

[aids]

pritchard swap with carney?

 

[thehattrickrabbit]

Roosters will chase after him for sure, But They are over-paying O'Meley imo, so they would probably have to off-load someone else.

 

[panthersballboy]

That will officially do me. First it was supposedly getting rid of the 'deadwood'. Now one of the blokes who has been perfoming well this year wants to go. Deadset the club is run by the 3 stooges.

 

[sooperdooper]

manly may chase him?
they have before as well...

 

[Lime_Green]

Elliott seems intent on alienating anyone experienced and creative at the Panthers so that he can bring in young players who he can mold to play his "structured" style of footy without complaint.

Once the exodus is over the Panthers will probably improve on this years form (and even last years), but they will never have the flair or creativity to win a finals game.

Gower, Wallace, Priddis, Puletua, Pritchard and potentially Wesser and Waterhouse out the door. And now Lewis dropped to the bench? Bizarre.

I just can't understand what Penrith are doing, it's alright releasing players but where the hell are are they going to find replacements for players of that calibre now???

Exactly. I can't see the point of it. It's not like there is massive talent out there who don't have contracts for next year. They should stick with them for now and if they come good, great, if not release them early next year and try to sign players to replace them for 2009. This will also benefit the released players as they'll have a better chance to secure another contract elsewhere for 2009.

Wow all this will probably mean the tigers end up with more lorry driving ex penrith fans

 

[sooperdooper]

something is up out west at penrith...its obivious

 

[Mixmasterreece]

I wonder how long it will be until Michael Jennings asks for a release. I'm sure he'll tire of playing in that backline next year

 

[Martli]

Reminds me of 2004 warriors.

 

[petetheileet]

il take him......him and his Bum thumb

 

[KiWi_BoI_15]

Really would be interesting as to which team he will end up in, if he gets released...teams like Manly, Sydney Roosters, Parra have been mentioned as to chasing him before.


Manly...Watmough..Pritchard..Menzies

Roosters .. Pritchard..Fitzy...Tupou

Parra.. Hindmarsh..Pritchard..Mateo...

He would certainly would add punch to these backrows, or any other team.

Looks to me the club is in a full blown crisis

* last on the Ladder, poor crowds
* 3 Club Captains on the outer
* Pritchard wants out
* Rumoured Waterhouse and Wesser want out
* Lewis now dropped to the bench, amidst many other senior players
* Wallace in the Twos, Clinton gone

Incredible.

Elliott obviosuly a popular bloke, LOL

 

[hybrid_tiger]

Even though we have plenty of backrowers, I would sign Pritchard for the right price, he is a great offloader.

Being honest, the Panthers would have got the arse a long time ago without that gaming empire behind them.
