Penrith Panthers will no doubt have a clean out at this season's end. Spoke to someone close to the club this evening who indicated there are at least eight players from the current top 25 squad who will not be resigned. At the same time the same person expressed the view the chances of the Panthers securing the signature of Campese is 1000/1. Ain't gonna happen.
The money freed up from releasing current fringe players will be devoted to securing three or four quality players from the Toyota Cup.
I'd love to be Mrs and Mrs Penese. They will be moving from Colyton to Leonay based on their son's 400k a year contract. I also noticed Harry Siejka Snr down at the trotting track, punting hard with the family based on young Harry's 350k upgrade. Well done Leary. You are a genius. Why didn't the fans think about this strategy.
What sort of an idiot CEO would recruit a quality established marquee player?
