Rumoured and Confirmed Signings

@RLW_Mole: BREAKING: @brisbanebroncos to release utility back Luke Capewell to @PenrithPanthers ASAP

 

[Luke Bowden]

Capewell, why?

 

[natheel]

Capewell, why?

Maybe with coote injured and moylan being a rookie Capewell can cover fullback, wing and even five eight incase of injury or form loss?

 

[murraymob]

if wallace is rated better than him he cant be that good

 

[Big Mick]

Maybe they are releasing Walsh to the UK then.

We are currently playing Brad Tighe at five-eight...so you'd assume he'd slot in there.

And they may be letting Walsh go early and playing Humble at halfback?

I dunno.

Unless we are over the line with Williams?

 

[Panthers@Heart]

Would Williams Come this year ? is capewell any good?

I think we are pushing for Williams to be released. On Capewell i cant recall him doing anything special or being overly impressed with him, he is only 24 so still has some time to try and get his career back on track, any improvement to each position is a positive move i guess.

Capewell, why?

Austin/Humble out till round 15 atleast. Coote out for the season at the least he will be good for Windsor

Capewell is pretty dominant in QLD cup. He won player of the year for that competition last year.

 

[cb4]

He is actually a Panther Supporter, Moylan is Good enough and a future Rep player

The author of that article, Daniel Nichols, is actually a Sharks fan.

You can read his deadset dribble by following him on twitter @suthodan

But yes, nospam49 is a Panthers fan. A funny bastard at that.

Capewell is the kid who had enormous problems under the high ball when he first debuted at souths.

He's definitely been brought in for cover in the halves though.


Not every signing is meant to be a star. You always need role players and depth.

Yes and he is ok! I'd expect Issac John to keep him out of first grade, maybe a different story if Walsh leaves, I think Capwell will be a better option then Tighe. We will see.

Absolutely spot on. With Gus's view on development of putting u20's into reserve grade to get them ready for first grade, it is better that an u20 player goes into a reserve grade team that is reasonably good. Then they can settle in and learn. There is no point in throwing them into a team that's getting belted and can't play. They don't have to win the competition, but they at least need to be good enough to give a player room to develop.

Coote is back in round 20

 

[Panthers@Heart]

Late mail Said Manly want Tim Grant to replace Kite

Grant is contracted until the end of 2015. I can't see us letting him go early.

 

[The OX]

Hasnt been playing badly, but not earning his salary.

Frees up plenty of $$$$$

Do we need to free up money ?

We have plenty free.

Props like Grant don't come along often.

 

[PinkPanther]

Grant has been one of the best props this season. No need to get rid of him.
