Rumoured and Confirmed signings - Part 4

[Jane Murray]

I think Zac Cini and Spencer have the same Manager so hoping it’s a case of if you take Cini I will make sure Spencer re-signs

What makes you think that?

 

[Luke Bowden]

I agree, however, Zane is with us.

Hasn’t Zane signed with Leeds?

 

[Aliceinwonderland]

Hasn’t Zane signed with Leeds?

Has he. I've not heard a word. Interesting.

 

[Jane Murray]

Hasn’t Zane signed with Leeds?

That's the rumour. Who knows?

 

[franklin2323]

I want to win but he's human garbage

The human garbage side is why he is cheap. Likely to replace him with someone the same

Is he leaving some rumour esl site says so.....

Fingers cross he does, and double fingers crossed, that Packer is not a Panther.

I don't see why we would release him. On very good deal for the club

All over reacting, to the point where we only have two actual props if Zane and Leniu leave, that being JFH and Leota, as much as both Zane and Packer have had pasts, they have had good games between them over the past few seasons, i'd be upset if we are left skinny in the forwards, due to past behavioural standards, everyone should have a chance to redeem themselves, not just be painted by the same moral brush, we've already moved on Tamou, mr squeeky clean, we need some mongrel, Zane, Leniu, Leota all produce that, im actually looking forward to seeing who else will get recruited that has grunt, and if it's Packer I'm all for it

Yep. Nice guys finish last we need to get more ruthless on and off the field

Not what i meant, but yes this mongrel on field!, we have enough off field drama thank you very much Buzz

As much as I'd like Ivan to take Packer off our hands, taking my Tigers hat off he has been a colossal disappointment and would only be worth it if Penrith were picking him up at base wage (not sure how that works these days with market value etc,) but I'd be staying away if I were your lot. He hasn't been the same since he injured his knee in his first season with us.

The drama flows because not ruthless. Look at the circus with re-signing Crichton

Hasn't he had foot and hip problems too?

I learnt some facts over the years. Talent just doesn't run away. The coaching staffs have more insight into the team than we have.

Many 12 months were railing about Barrett being brought back as attack coach.

I've realised over many years that instead off cliff jumping perhaps we need to sit back and see how this unfolds.

Probably means Penrith have opportunity to fly under the rader for 2021 season.

I'll wait and see some games (probably mid year) before calling for smelling salts.

Not being awful but how good is the rehab staffs and facilities at w/t (especially in previous years) Maybe coaches think there is still more to get ?

Just a thought. Cause even at 80% Packer can be quite good.

Only though at very reduced cost.

 

[The Charlatan]

Foot is the latest issue. Apparently still struggling with it last I heard.

 

[Whino]

We are not going to keep everybody and I can understand people's concerns with recent departures. There might be 1 more soon. As long as we can keep a core of the players together and keep producing good young players, added with a few shrewd purchases we will be fine.

Must be Tetevano.

Cheers.
As MX said a broken down Hetherington at the end of his career.

He's had plenty of time to get right. Spent a lot of time in reggies at times because I don't think Madge sees him as a first choice prop.

Our injuries and rehab appear to be better than years gone. For a period we were f**king hopeless and I think it corresponded with Dr. Death's time at the club. Although we are based in demountables until our COE is completed (which I believe is late next year,) I would wager that we are probably renting other facilities in the meantime.
