Rumoured and Confirmed Signings Part2

Ronnie Palmer to Manly according to the Mole. Please be true!

 

[MrBlack]

Reports are it is us and Manly after Sam Moa.

We are clearing space in the cap whilst Manly are signing everything that walks.

Hopefully we can secure him. Would compliment our forwards perfectly.

Gee I hope that one is true and we can get him.

 

[Luke Bowden]

Gus has said a few times now we aren't after Moa.

It's a pipe dream guys.

This will be interesting just to see if anything changes. At both teams.

 

[Big Mick]

Gus said Tuesday that he was "Hoping for a few signings" that he was working on Wednesday.

I'm assuming it may be someone involved in Under 20's origin.

But we'll see if it comes to fruition.

Isn't the cap exhausted?

If its 20s players it doesn't effect the first tier cap and if it's top squad signings, Apis money may now be available.

Api leaving would of freed up a bit extra

 

[The Teach]

Api leaving would of freed up a bit extra

And if the rumours of sika moving on are true, there's a bit more space.

 

[Big Mick]

The young half we are after is apparently Te Maire Martin the young Tigers half who has huge raps on him.

Good swap I reckon...Api for him and Dockar-Clay and re-signing Katoa....Would be setting up a nice spine for the future.

Brent Reid had his mail segment on Triple M and said that Penrith had signed Martin for next season.

 

[Big Mick]

And if the rumours of sika moving on are true, there's a bit more space.

No it wouldn't. Already factored in. He was off contract.

 

[The Teach]

No it wouldn't. Already factored in. He was off contract.

Ok, thanks for clarifying mate. Wasn't aware of that.

 

[Big Mick]

Api's definitely would but yeah.

Te Maire turned in a stellar debut NYC season in 2014, playing in all 26 matches for Wests Tigers before being eliminated in the semi-finals.
An exciting playmaker with good speed and vision, Te Maire was named in the Holden Cup team of the Year and was a standout for the Junior Kiwis in the end of season fixture against the Junior Kangaroos where he kicked the winning field goal.
Partnering Eli Levido for most of last season in the halves, the Keebra Park High School product controlled the left edge well which is shown through the high amount of tries from players on that side (Lamar Liolevave 10 tries, Watson Heleta 21 tries and John Ogden 23 tries).
The Turangawaewae junior will no doubt be putting pressure on the NRL starting halves in 2015 as he pushes for an NRL debut.

Given the size of our junior nursery,you'd think we would have talented 1/2 backs dropping out of the trees.

But obviously this Martin has talent to burn.

My West Tiger fan mates are blowing up deluxe at losing Martin!

They are convinced he's the next Benji only better!

PANTHERS SIGN JUNIOR KIWI

Penrith Panthers are pleased to announce the signing of young Kiwi playmaker Te Maire Martin on a three-year deal.

Martin, 19, will join the Panthers in 2016 after playing the last two seasons with the Wests Tigers NYC side.

"It feels great to have secured my future and I am already looking forward to training with my new teammates," Martin said.

"My big dream is to play in the NRL and I know having the opportunity to learn from Jamie Soward and Peter Wallace will really help me get there."

A breakout season in 2014 saw Martin selected in the NYC Team of the Year and picked for the Junior Kiwis. He again played for the Junior Kiwis this year, alongside current Panthers Sione Katoa and James Fisher-Harris, and fellow Penrith recruit Zach Dockar-Clay.

Panthers Executive General Manager rugby league Phil Gould AM said he was delighted to have secured Martin's services.

"Te Maire is one of the outstanding young talents coming through the NYC system," he said.

"We believe he's a player of great potential, a long-term NRL player and we're excited to have him here at the Panthers."

This write up of the 20s test recently praises Te Maire and Katoa quite a bit. Incidentley we now have four players from that junior kiwis squad on the books for next year.
