Rumoured and Confirmed signings - Part 4

[mxlegend99]

So glad we kept him. He has exceeded my expectations.

 

[PANTHERMIKE]

Great work by the club, sounded like a fair few were trying to get his signature.

He has been great.

 

[Buzzard Breath]

Great news.

 

[Big Mick]

Great that we have re-signed CHN.

Reminds me more and more of Gavin Cooper every game he plays.

He should be a fixture in our starting 13 even when JFH and Cartwright return.

 

[betcats]

We just need someone to put some polish on this squad, it really is one of the best squads in the league, Griffin just isn't getting the best out of them unfortunately.

 

[PANTHERMIKE]

Michael Oldfield has just been released....

 

[herbert henry1908]

Who's the backup backs now?

Perhaps we're looking at giving some u20's a run?

Hmm...

 

[Fangs]

Hiku, Oldfield and Martin. Are we trying to fit under the cap or looking to land a signing?

 

[CCJohnC]

Up grade Edwards & Mansour.

 

[PANTHERMIKE]

Oldfield would have been on peanuts. HIku/Martin money id say going to Edwards/ CNH

 

[herbert henry1908]

Oldfield doesn't increase space at all, he would've been on the minimum & he needs to be replaced in the top 25. (Top 30 next year)

That was my thought too. Although I don't think that releasing TMM was primarily cap related, could be wrong though.

Tom.

 

[Panther_Daz]

Releasing Hiku,MWZ and Oldfield does leave us a bit skinny in the outside backs.

Peachey would be the first cab off the rank. Then who? Move Yeo out there?

The Griffin master plan doesn't require centres

 

[Panther_Daz]

The Griffin master plan doesn't require centres

That is a very valid point.

 

[Copperhead]

The Griffin master plan doesn't require centres

Genius when you look at it that way.

 

[PenrithPanther45]

Katoa re-signed for two years. http://www.penrithpanthers.com.au/news/2017/06/29/katoa_signs_new_pant.html

 

[Panther_Daz]

Hooker is one position I have no idea what is happening with. Wallace, Rein, Katoa and Egan in the mix for next year.

 

[mxlegend99]

The only player released who frees up cap space is Hiku. TMM would be a bit above minimum wage, but not by much and the others like MWZ, Oldfield etc. Would be lucky to be on minimum wage.

I think we are clearing spots for our young guys to be promoted to the top squad and extended for a bit.
