The Dragons are believed to be close to announcing the signing of Robert Jennings on a 2-year deal.

After releasing Kurt Mann Monday morning the club is in a great position to realistically land Robert Jennings. He would likely take up one wing spot with Jordan Pereira on the other.

Despite having a breakout season in 2018 scoring 19 tries for the Bunnies, Jennings future at Redfern looks to be over, due to a salary cap squeeze.

Jennings is currently off contract and it is believed his asking price is more then the Rabbitohs can afford, with the Dragons ready to swoop releasing Kurt Mann effective immediately to table a respectable offer worth around $500,000 per season for Jennings signature. It is under stood the Rabbitohs could only offer their leading try scorer around $300,000 per season.

The 22-year has made 34 appearances for the Rabbitohs, scoring 25 tries since crossing from the Panthers at the end of the 2016 season and is set to announcing the signing within the coming days.

We should sign him immediately.

Wayne Bennett always lets go of quality talent.

Can't believe the 500K figure

It might be that Bennett has identified better talent at the right price.

Yeah, like Bennett let go of Josh Morris. Brett started 2009 off in reserve grade too, so Bennett didn't rate either of the Morris brothers. He also let go a Scott Prince.

Can't believe the 500K figure

I agree that 500K a season sounds a bit much. If my memory serves me correctly. Gould told Josh Mansour that Penrith couldn't offer him any more than 400K a season and Mansour stayed. Hopefully Jennings does kick on and proves to be worth 500K a season plus.

400k would seem to be a fair price for R Jennings.

based on.......?

500k for RJ

Not this myth again!

For the umpteenth time, Bennett was interviewed on Fox Sports and he said candidly that the decision to move Josh Morris on was made BEFORE he joined the club as coach in 2009.

I agree though he didn’t rate them though.

 

[Warabrook saint]

500k for RJ

If conclusion confusion shaved all the little bit of hair he has on his head and face, he'd have a striking resemblance to the, not so clever one

 

[ViceVersa]

@possm every time he see's a 'Millward Mess':

 

[ouryears]

based on.......?

Based on his skill, speed, try scoring ability, and market value.
What did you think, based on his cooking?!

 

[Saints Forever]

Jennings would be a marked improvement on what we currently have. Both he and Pearson are natural left sided players.

Wondering whether Jennings could play left centre as well as he plays left wing?

Ravalawa, Pereira. and Lomax will compete for the right wing spot.

 

[JDHD]

It might be that Bennett has identified better talent at the right price.

It might also be that Wayne is using third party deals and back-ended contracts

Gould is a pathological liar, though. You can not afford to believe anything that comes out of his mouth. He is so thoroughly and utterly morally bankrupt that every time he smiles, an angel gets gonorrhoea.
