Paul Whatuira

[Tiger Barn]

Just read on the Manly forums that he has signed with the tigers. It will be announced in the media later today.

Can anyone here confirm?

The Phantom on the BSB this morning said it also.
But, he might be some tosser on these forums.

 

[Albo]

Good player, but doesnt have blinding speed, more of a safe centre than an attacking centre

 

[EWS]

I think hes very underrated, and Ide love to have him.

 

[SouthernTiger]

Whatiura would be a good buy in my view. A bonus is that we wouldnt be paying over the odds for him. He would be one of the more shrewd purchases this club has made in its existence

cheers

Another backward step. We have one non entity as a centre in Elford, we don't need another.

not sure about this one. on the one hand he is a very solid first grade standard player of which we don't have an abundance.

on the other hand it's not exactly an exciting signing.

 

[jirskyr]

A very capable player. Only kept out of constant grade by Rep players.

 

[Wrighty79]

Elford couldn't get a run at Penrith because of him, so do we release Elford??? It's a backward step, we don't need "constant first graders" we need top line rep players up front, not outside backs.

i agree wholeheartedly that our priority must be props. hopefully the kiwi recruitment theme will continue with some big once were warriors

 

[Nitekrwlr]

the guy played for NZ and help the panthers win the grand final. nothing wrong with him at all.

Well this is interesting.....antone who thinks he isnt better than the blokes we have out wide are pulling their puds.

Cant see how it is a backward step,fairly cheap and better than what we have.Not a star signing but a bloody good one if true,and he would ave a point to prove that he is first grade standard and he is a rep player.......

Im cool with that.

PS......still waiting for the big forwards to be signed.

Cheers.

This is absolute BS.

We dont need MEDIOCRE players like this. Whatuira has nothing - no pace, no step, doesnt break the line - NOTHING. He is a NOTHING player who just makes up the numbers at Penrith.

We do not need players like this. We need game breakers. We need talent, creativity and raw power. He has none of this. No wonder we are screwed.

Paul Whatuira reminds me of NBQ.

 

[simon says]

Mmmmm,yeah NBQ is a chance of playing in a GF winning team and repping for his country......

Really...... #-o #-o #-o

 

[Nitekrwlr]

Unbelievable. Do people even watch league these days?

 

[Famous1]

We have alot of depth in the centres, SO WE GO AND BUY MORE #-o

We Lack Props and another winger or two

Can Paul Whatiru play on the wing? :shock: if so his got covell's pace

Surely you jest,NBQ was just a solid PL player Whaturia is streets ahead of him.
