Rumoured and Confirmed signings - Part 4

[Jane Murray]

Perfect signing! Pumped to have him back.
Great back up and will even push for selection which is always a great thing.

I was shocked about this signing, and that of Matt Eisenhuth.

Over Capewell?

We did go well with 3 props on the bench, but I also think there’s an opportunity to use our second row rotation better. Martin could play some minutes in the middle.

I think as one of the 4 props. Obviously if they’re all fit & firing he’ll likely miss out but maybe IC may want a more steady type from time to time.

Did OK chasing Vunivalu. Suspect he might have got a twinge. He's usually fairly sharp.

Twice he had a 3 on 2 and passed to early. If you had a Gutherson well......

You may have a premiership ring. Fullbacks need to ball play.

 

[Exsilium]

We need to lock Capewell up.

I wonder when Burton, Crichton, Luia and Leniu, re-signings will be announced?

From the sounds of it, Burton will probably go to the Dogs. Baz was talking about it on the Radio with MG. Nothing definite, but it wasn’t hard to read between the lines.

And low and behold, here is a story about it.

I hope not. Who knows, Burton sounded like he wants to stay, judging by past articles.

JT didn’t want the leave the dogs either, but he was advised too and bit the bullet. Worked out for him.

I hope he stays and wish him well if he decides to go, he seems like a great kid with a massive future.

As long as we have Luai, we’ll be sweet.

Sounds like Burton is gone. Time to make peace with it I'd say.

Disagree. There was no quotes, none at all. Sounds like an opinion based article.

It was an interview with Barrett.

It was an interview with Barrett.

I know that. Still no definite facts, more like a wish list.

 

[herbert henry1908]

Whatever happens I just hope it’s quick. If we don’t re-sign Burton then we might have the money to make a play for a decent right centre.

May as well keep him for 2021. We are in a position to win the comp

I suppose we could, but the club has said they’ll release players if they have an opportunity. We do have Laurie as a backup half.

 

[franklin2323]

The key word with Barrett was anyone we don't want. There is a spot in the 17 for Burton so if we want him Dogs won't chase him

 

[GongPanther]

I would love to get Braidon Burns back.

And move Crichton to fullback. Not completely sold on Edwards.

 

[TIGER14]

I can't believe the comments on here in regards to Robert Jennings. You guys were this years' runners up ffs and have one of the best backlines in the camp. Jennings is barely Ron Massey Cup standard.

Robert Jennings has been a running joke for 2 years among Tigers fans. Even in our crap team he has stood out, head and shoulders above the rest, as being especially shithouse. Many times the ball would be spread to his wing and he would be lagging way behind the line, nowhere to be seen. He also never, ever comes infield looking for the ball. He can go entire games without even touching the ball. In all my years of supporting Wests Tigers I have never seen a more lazy, useless player than Robert Jennings. And that's saying something, Nathan Milone played for us.

MWZ is 3x the player Jennings is. They both played for us and given a choice I would take MWZ any day.

If he was so bad. Why then was Robert the top try scorer when at Souths.

I suggest it has more to do with the team around him at W/T. Robert did very well when at Souths, and has the potential to do the same again with the quality players we have at the Penrith Panthers.
