Rumoured and Confirmed Signings Part2

[mxlegend99]

We have Will Smith, I can see him being used ahead of Moylan unfortunately. Really looking forward to seeing him in the halves. Even if just for a few games to begin with.

For the money he is apparently asking...? No thanks

 

[Blues Riff]

I doubt that Gus would pay overs for Merrin. We need to upgrade and extend Peachey's contract and see how it goes with big Mose.

 

[Panther Pete]

Or if Sowie goes down Ivan pulls the trigger and plays Moylan at 6

Ivan has said he can see Moylan in the halves one day but he has to work on some things before that can happen, the biggest issue being his kicking game.

 

[PenrithPanther45]

From what we saw at the nines, Adrian Davis is not a bad back up either

 

[maple_69]

Take the best half out of any team and theyre in trouble. You can't just stack first grade halves in NSW Cup. John will no doubt be gone soon.

 

[betcats]

Never been a big fan of Merrin, but as long as we dont overpay im happy to have him.

I am the same, wouldn't mind if we get him but I certainly don't think he is worth big dollars.

Trent Merrin possibly to be swapped for Docker/Manu.

 

[murraymob]

no we are giving up 2 high quality players for 1 .Manu is on big money docker will rise in money next contract .Combined that is more than merrins money

 

[mxlegend99]

I read it as one or the other with us making up the difference.

Good deal for us. Hope it's both and we pay no extra. One certain top 17 guy for 2 fringe top 17 guys is good for both teams.

 

[chrisD]

Just need to make it happen, preferably for this season.

Would prefer Sika to leave than Docker.

Would prefer Sika to leave than Docker.

Opposite for me.

 

[mxlegend99]

Yep I think Sika in the front row could offer something even at full strength. Docker doesn't edge out anyone IMO.

But Merrin is a massive upgrade on either player. So I would be happt either way.

 

[Karnivayne]

I wonder if they would take Kite?

 

[maple_69]

I think if we traded Manu and Docker for Merton Id prefer having Kite around one more season. He has it in him to have a better season, Mckendry otherwise would be our only reliable option. Plum is injury prone, Latimore isn't guaranteed as good a season, Abderson, BMM and RCG are unproven.

 

[GongPanther]

Manu to go.

Docker has room to grow into a top flight back-rower.

I'd be hanging onto him if I was the Panthers management.

The one and only reason they would get rid of Docker will be if the Panthers wanted to retain some more size on the bench.

In comparison to some clubs forward pack size,I wouldn't be surprised if we are near bottom.

 

[chrisD]

Docker isn't half the player Merrin is and never will be, but if they don't want Merrin there because they think he's a destabilising force then I could understand them taking Docker. Still, Tim Sheens will need thanking.
