Rumoured and Confirmed signings - Part 4

[Luke Bowden]

I hope Soward doesn't play this week because I know Elijah Taylor and the tigers will smash Penrith.
Elijah shouldn't be playing hooker

Smash us! Really... We'll see about that...

 

[Blues Riff]

If ever we get smashed this year, this'll be the one. Elijah was our best defender. This week he leads a talented team looking to kick start their season. Penrith are getting a few raps lately, but our defence is a work in progress.

 

[Luke Bowden]

We should smoke the Tig-Pies....

 

[Westernised Panther]

We should be able to smoke them but after their comeback against the Storm over the weekend, anything is possible. As a previous poster suggested, this could easily turn out like the Gold Coast game if the boys aren't switched on.

Some great battles on show:

Cartwright & Cleary vs Moses & Brooks
Moylan vs Tedesco
Campbell-Gillard vs Woods

Wallace vs Farah will also be interesting

 

[betcats]

Despite Wallace' off game last week I wouldn't swap him for Farah at this point even for the same value, Farah overplays his hand every week, Wallace is only doing it every 3rd or 4th week atm. The tigers are better when Farah takes a back seat or doesn't play. When he is highly involved they always lose these days.

SOUTHS SIGN BACKS

South Sydney continue to bolster their squad for next season. They are on the verge of signing Penrith Holden Cup young guns Robert Jennings and Braidon Burns.

With Hymel Hunt, Michael Oldfield, Siosifa Talakai and Tautalatasi Tasi all off-contract, both centres provide the club with depth.

It would be disappointing to lose Burns and Jennings.

 

[PenrithPanther45]

Particularly Burns. He reminds me a bit of James Roberts.

 

[umina panther]

I thought Burns was already gone?

 

[PenrithPanther45]

He's been named in Holden Cup ^ you might be thinking of Brent Naden

No he means a couple weeks ago someone posted that Burns had signed with the Bunnies for next season.

He is gun by the look of it, perhaps the bunnies threw some big cash at him. Either way both our NYC centres probably think their best chance at FG is not at Penrith.

 

[PenrithPanther45]

understandably so ^ behind whare hiku peachey blake possibly hardaker they may have been looking at a debut in 2018 at the earliest if there was injuries maybe sooner if there were massive injuries. burns did look a gun, but yeah theres been a lot of reports linking him to souths

Interesting Hardacker is only 83kgs , the way he was touted it sounded like he was a bigger fullback.

83kgs?? Really... He looks about the same size as Josh Dugan or Jack Wighton.... I would have said somewhere between 95-105... He's pretty tall.

Wikipedia has him at 6ft2inches and 93kgs, that would be a lot closer to the mark.

SMH says 83kgs

[umina panther]

Moylan is heavier than that. Official weights and hights are normally nonsense

 

[BxTom]

90kg by the Leeds Rhino site. And 1.88m tall (6 feet 2 inches).

Tom.

 

[herbert henry1908]

Thing is SMH interviewed him today , I'm sure they got his current weight.

Also it appears he may play 1st grade this weekend.

 

[betcats]

He looks a little skinny in the photos today, tall as Dugan though.

 

[umina panther]

Lets hope he doesn't stay down like a bitch every second tackle
