Rumoured and Confirmed signings - Part 4

[OldPanther]

The maccas thing is funny but not true. He simply can't train enough to stay fit. Maybe a shitload of swimming is a work around but its not the same

Yeah that part wasn't serious. I do rate him. Shame about his medical issues.

Sounds about right.
I heard a few weeks back Dean Blore was unlikely to be retained next year.

It’d be disappointing to lose Shawn without seeing what he can do.

I’d swap Shawn for Ryan Matterson.

You can't sign one without the other right?

 

[GongPanther]

Yay!!

 

[herbert henry1908]

I’d swap Shawn for Ryan Matterson.

That'd be a more than fair swap, but Shawn’s off contract, so nothing we can do if he just walks.

 

[Pomoz]

I thought the Blores were the next big thing? Are we adding them to the Oljenik, Seijka, Waddell, Iosefa list?

That’s what I was thinking. There was very positive reports on these two at the start of the season. I think one or two posters even suggested that one or both might even crack first grade.

Shawn possibly is, don’t think Dean will be.

I’m a little surprised Shawn remains un-signed.

This suggests the tigers won’t release Matterson unless they get something in return. Given the clubs difficult relationship with the tigers it might be hard to get him here.

Sounds like Titans are a strong contender based on the article.

 

[Fangs]

As if the Titans will be able to purchase anybody. Long road back for them and they are probably going to run out of gas.

Coming up to 30 years as a Panther Fan. I just think being a jerk should only be on Facebook

Im also a 30 year fan too, but im just sick of these idiots thinking they know better, when they don't even have a junior pathway, "hey man, we wanna be like penrith and build a academy in rouse hill" says bernie gurr, yet they are still fed by Wentworthville Magpies, who themselves would most probably be an NRL side back in 1967, but couldn't due to parramatta's localitity, hence us in Penrith got the nod over them instead.
Im getting tired of the soccer/NFL style drafting going on in our league now, its all money transfers, and the assbandits who say "you need to buy some marquee players, to sell more products, and get your fans cheering" they are mainly the problem, coz they've seen it in other codes in EPL etc.
Where's that fat heap Jarryd Hayne now, are you cheering for him now, how was he last year, about the same when the Titans thought he'd bring them the same amount of yield in returns.

Our game is tribal, i will not be going for parramatta, if penrith get relogated, or relocated. Just coz they're close, and if they'd merged drop RL altogether.
You can hate me all you want coz I'm not "forum friendly" but don't insult my team when yours is historically inferior

Going off the reports, I'd be wary about him and Ramien, its these player managers getting in their ears, causing unrest, he has had an outstanding year tho, but still wary, we don't players dictating terms, like whats going on at the sharks

I think they'll have money from dumping guys who are wasting cap. Even better on a swap deal for one of their duds.

I don't think he meant to be insulting. Just offering a perspective on how they improved to make the top 8. We have been more successful but they do look stronger going forward with that strangely familiar backline.

Couldn't agree more with this. Player managers are scum.

That is one way to end a promising career before it comes to fruition.

If Matterson moves to Titans, I'd welcome Cartwright &/or Latu back tbh.

Cartwright is an interesting one. I'm sure he will be back one day.

I would welcome him back, lower my (and his) expectations and let him fight for position.

With a clear head and full heart he still can be anything.
