Rumoured and Confirmed Signings Part2

[maple_69]

Regardless of who signs him I hope it doesn't go wrong.
I'd rather he play elsewhere also given the nature of the crime but couldn't begrudge him trying to make a go of it somewhere if he is serious about making amends.

Let Dragons sign Packer...We'll take Merrin off their hands.

:lol: exactly what I was thinking. He's rumored to be on the outer, doesn't come with the same baggage. Think he'd be a better fit. Depends on the price tag...

Merrin will cost to much.

As for Packer. Manu Mau's assault apparently was as bad if not worst yet he's a 'reformed success story' . So if we get him I can handle it. Won't entirely be happy but won't boo him either

 

[franklin2323]

Fights happen in life sometimes but stomping someone's head into the pavement is attempted murder, it's just that our legal system is a joke.

How about stabbing someone?

Matagi's was similar

Where does it say Mau stabbed anyone? It says he was defending a friend who got stabbed.

So you get 3 years for defending a friend? We will never know the details but a fight, Someone was stabbed and he got 3 years. We don't know the full details of Packer yet other then the fight and stomping.

For him to convince the NRL to be registered. The Government to get a Visa to stay in the country there has to be more to the story. FTR I think he will be deported on release so really is a moot point

Troy Dodds ‏@troydodds 1m
The @PenrithPanthers have confirmed they are officially out of the race to sign jailed forward Russell Packer #NRL #PantherPride

 

[chrisD]

Plan B then. There is a plan B I hope.

 

[franklin2323]

There would be a plan B. It wouldn't surprise me if we found out he's getting deported upon release or something

would gus go for Mason? id like Merrin but will cost too much coin unfortunately.

Unless Ivan is prepared to throw the young-uns in the deep end next year.

I'd imagine our priorities would be:

1. Mason, 2. Masoe, 3. Merrin, 4. Young/Emerging prop

Plum
McKendry
LAtimore
Kite
Anderson

are props. Move Manu & BMM up there. Then we have RCG and co still to use. We would be right without another prop if needed

 

[forby]

I have heard that Peter Wallace's knee may be so bad that he may not come back? Has anybody heard similar or opposite?

 

[MrAnonymous]

Ffs I thought Kite was retiring. Give it up champ you've had enough.

Simmons is the same no certainty to return

 

[abpanther]

Phil Moss gone to be GM of Tigers

Seriously? Fmd. I hope this doesn't become a repeat of when Richo left.

 

[MrAnonymous]

Simmons was playing on the weekend.

 

[maple_69]

Wasn't Richo largely responsible for the incentive contracts that destroyed our last premiership?
Anyway Moss would be a loss. I hope Simmons hangs around another year for depth. If Wallace is done I think Moylan needs to move now.
