Rumoured and Confirmed signings - Part 4

[MrBlack]

Maybe we are adding Maloney and keeping Moylan! Stranger things have happened!

Who do you think we are?? The only the Roosters can get away with that sort of s#it

is not professional when this shit keeps happening.

Agreed a disturbing pattern keeps emerging.
The good clubs don't get rid of the best players in the peak of their careers. They get rid of them while they on the decline.

It is professional, that's why it keeps happening.

 

[Doddsy6988]

I am

Well we have officially lodged a contract for Maloney.

The club wont be getting a cent from me or my family until Gus is gone. I don't appreciate him lying to us and I am sick of him sending our best players to other clubs to win premierships.

He hires a shit coach. Extends him when no one else wanted him. He has moved on star after star since being here and bangs on about wanting to win a cimpetition with locally developed players. Yet he wastes all of our salary casp on signing guys looking for a big pay day.

f**k you Phil Gould. Sadly I will love the club no matter what. I will watch every game no matter what. Cheer for them no matter what. But I wont be spending a cent that goes toward the club... hard as it may be not to own our new jerseys next year.

I am sick of him making all these decisions that make other clubs stronger and us never noving toward anything.

also never going to stop following the panthers, but I will be contemplating pulling my money out of the club too.
The constant bullshit that Gould gives.
I actually think Maloney will be a good acquisition, he seems to win premierships wherever he goes, but the way this has gone down is just pure shit
I've also heard that Moylan is addicted to cocaine, but have no idea the legitimacy of that

Has anybody got anything official from anybody yet?

Nothing official yet but the bells has tolled.


Maloney deal opens up Moylan move

The Matt Moylan saga at Penrith is over, with the Panthers understood to have lodged paperwork to the NRL for approval of James Maloney’s three-year deal.

NRL.com has been told the deal was finalised on Thursday but still needs to be rubberstamped by the governing body, including a third party arrangement, bringing to end almost two months of intense speculation over Moylan’s future at the club.

As reported by The Sydney Morning Herald a month ago, the Panthers wanted to engage in a swap deal with Cronulla that would result in Moylan and Maloney trading places in the off-season.

Cronulla are set to land Moylan on a four-year deal worth $3.6 million.

The Panthers had been manoeuvring behind the scenes trying to get Maloney to the foot of the Blue Mountains before striking a deal worth close to $2.4 million over three years.

Maloney, who left Kangaroos camp on the Thursday night – 24 hours before a World Cup meeting with France - to deal with an unrelated private matter, has been open to the idea of getting an improved deal for 2018.

Maloney had one year to run on his deal with the Sharks, however Moylan had another four at Penrith.

Panthers general manager Phil Gould had been trying to keep Moylan at the club, however it became painstakingly clear the skipper wanted out.

Moylan is close friends with Andrew Fifita, Wade Graham and James Segeyaro, making the move to Cronulla more appealing.

Maloney has a carefree approach and is known as a larrikin character, but he has a solid record of success at the Warriors, Roosters and Sharks.

Penrith were desperate for an experienced playmaker to partner Nathan Cleary in the halves as he continues his development, especially after rookie five-eighth Tyrone May suffered an anterior cruciate ligament tear in the finals and is expected to miss the start of next season

I think some people are only seeing one side of Moylan's extremely high variance. He's had good (great) games at 6, but he's also had games where he looked like he was struggling with the position (and a loooong way from a guy that can steer a side to a premiership). At fullback he was great when playing to his strengths, but had some significant flaws and was a fringe rep player at best.

It's easy to watch the last 5 minutes of the Canberra game, or the last 20 minutes of the regular season game against the Broncos and assume he's a superstar. Well he's not. He's a good player with a high level of variance. Maybe the coach was the only thing holding him back from being a god, maybe he would be the next Lockyer if he'd started playing 6 in 2016, but maybe he's just a guy that struggles with consistency. Sport is littered with insanely talented players who struggle with motivation, commitment and other professionalism problems. They often get classed as inconsistent, because consistency is what having the discipline to do the tough stuff when no one is watching ends up getting you. We've seen more than enough issues to suggest Moylan has a problem in this regard.

Maybe he works it out at the Sharks. Maybe supercoach Flanno holds the key to turning him into a consistent, creative visionary. Maybe we see him lift the trophy after winning the CC on the first weekend next October. Maybe he's just a guy who isn't capable of channelling his insane level of talent into consistent performances. I'd say good luck to him, but he's not a Panther anymore so I really don't give a shit.

I'm happy with Maloney. With Moylan imploding as an option he's about the best we could have gotten. He could end up working out insanely well for a few years, at which point Luai (or another option) could well be ready to go.

Understood and believed!
Maybe!

The next game Moylan plays at Penrith Park, albeit in a Sharks jumper.

Will he be jeered or cheered????

 

[martielang]

I think Maloney is a good fit for our side for the current season (hopefully 3). We lack an on field leader leader, someone with a bit of mongrel & someone who is a competitor. He definitely has his deficiencies but I think he'll help Cleary & our side a lot.

I'm glad the shit show is over & I'm excited to see what Maloney can do with our side.

Jeered, roundly, soundly and rightly so.

Depends on him really. Coote has never said a bad word about the club and not booed. Lewis on the other hand paraded in a Sharks shirt while playing for us so cops it everytime

Good post. Except that 20mins v Broncs was at FB so we got an unproven half out and in a guy who will play for his country tonight and won premierships.

 

[herbert henry1908]

At this point, it’s perfectly reasonable for fans to wonder which junior we’ll lose next.

Edwards? Cleary?

Like it or not people are frustrated, Gus isn’t yielding good enough results to be as arrogant as he is.

 

[martielang]

How hard is it to understand Moylan wanted out. He was asked to clean up his act (after many incidents) & he threw a tantrum.

The last player we let go that has kicked on is Graham. That was 6 years ago FFS.

 

[billypilgrimnz]

TMM was in a grand final 4 months after we ditched him THIS SEASON FFS

 

[GongPanther]

We beat Manly in the finals without him.So Moylan,despite his obvious talent,isn't a great loss.But getting Maloney is a sure fire winner with a mountain of experience that with shirley rub off onto the rest of the side.

Much greater times ahead.

 

[Buzzard Breath]

I feel betrayed.
The club said many times he is staying.
His manager said last week he would be here.
He told his team-mates (source Trent Merrin on BSB radio) several times the whole rumour of him leaving was BS and he is stating

And now he leaves.

The Penrith Junior TMM?

I think we're yet to see whether he'll kick on or not. FWIW i think he'll be a much bigger loss than Moylan.

 

[Buzzard Breath]

Hate to be the bearer of more bad news but the vultures are circling.


Nathan Taylor‏@NateTaylor87
Now the Moylan saga is over, Penrith need to look after Dylan Edwards. I'm hearing a major NRL club has approached him and he's listening


4:12 PM - 2 Nov 2017

One can only hope he is just testing his value.

The thing that worries me is there is a lot of stupid clubs out there that will throw overs at him.
