I don't think anyone is really that pissed off that we lost Crossman.

Storm paid MASSIVE overs to get him, and good luck to both parties involved.

 

[Big Mick]

everyone paid massive overs for all our players.

Franze got 6 times what he would command in Australia, Pomeroy got wayyyy big dollars, as did Rogers and Crossman.

We couldn't have actually thought that we could keep these guys really. But the plus side is that when those teams are in cap trouble down the track, we wont be.

 

[Unit]

crossman is a gun player, in my opinion he is a big loss.
What about other guys that penrith have signed like jared searson, micheal leeds, matt wade and a number of other players. Don't you include them in the gains

 

[Big Mick]

they are for SG Ball..

These Signings are for Flegg +

 

[Fibroman]

I still lose sleep over the loss of Ben Ross. That was just criminal. The bloke wanted to stay and was prepared to play for a lot less dollars at Penrith than he could have got elsewhere. You can't put a price on that kind of loyalty. He was a tremendous 'go forward' man for us.

 

[Caged Panther]

We couldn't have actually thought that we could keep these guys really.

I think we did think we could keep all those guys I don't really think anyone in the hierarchy really expected other clubs to bay so far over the odds for these players.

 

[Munky]

Norrie and Thompson appear to be very good pickups.

Norrie got player of the year in Dragons Premier League and the Newtown fans reckon Thompson will be very solid for us.

 

[Big Mick]

I think we did think we could keep all those guys I don't really think anyone in the hierarchy really expected other clubs to bay so far over the odds for these players.

that was the point I was trying to make.

 

[girvie]

I heard that Penrith have signed Ryan Verlinden from the Bears. He was player of the year in Jersey Flegg this year and i've heard he is still young enough for Flegg next year.

I think Penrith will come top 4 for Flegg next year based on all the signings you have made.
