Rumoured and Confirmed Signings

[murraymob]

i think nrl gossip should have said watch for benchie and his manager to mention penrith as long as they can to add dollars to there contract.He is no good to us in 2015 when he is available we would need him from next year

 

[royceruled]

just use us for leverage like the others.

 

[herbert henry1908]

please no, give our juniors a run instead of him.

If we had junior halves that were ready they'd be playing right now.

i have and the answer is no closet just prior to 91 we bought a lot

I thought that would be the case. Truth told, we probably have never had such an experienced contract manager at the Panthers before. Max Cowan (if he reads this forum) has a longer history with the club than most, so he may throw up someone I don't know of. We are reaping the benefit of Gus having spells here in the 90's and at the Dogs and the Roosters. I think he has learned a trick or two from Bullfrog Moore and Nick Politis and players seem to respect him.

We also bought quite a few players in the lead up to the 03' victory.


03' was very much like 91' , a good mixture of local talent and recruitment. As good as our local talent is , it's never going to be enough to get it done IMO.


Whatuira
Campbell
Priddis
Lang
Galuvao
Ross


All came to the club in the two years prior to us winning a premiership.

one of the biggest reason for long periods of non buying is more because we never have a lot of money to work with.When the main leagues club was being built we had barley enough to put a park team on the field thus we become the penny panthers

I think there's two parts to it.
While a lot of people hate Gus he is an enigmatic guy who I can see being hard to ignore as well as having a lot of influence in the league community.
Also someone had to realise that while we have great juniors we can't rely on them these days to fulfil their potential and make us a force. I think we've rested on this for a long time and when they haven't panned out we go and grab some nuffies in November to fill positions.

I was watching the video and thinking "yeah, you look good now but what about when you step up against adults?". Then I realised it was the NSW cup and he was playing against adults! He looks really talented and can find a gap.

Ironically, if we do sign him it's because Cronulla signed Lewis from the Panthers and with Wade Graham as well, there is no room in the back row for a few years. If he can come here and continue his progress, we will have done very well out of a swap for Lewis!

You don't know much about our team then if this is what you think.

Bukuya has gone, Tupou will leave. He will be the bench replacement

Its just convincing him he will get a shot with us, if he bides his time.

 

[Panthers@Heart]

Capewell will be here next week

is tupou contracted for next year and you have another back rower i hear is ahead of peachy

 

[cb4]

Tupou is not contracted next year, and Sopoaga is not ahead of Tyrone.

This is all hearsy made up by someone on social media.

Yep, your right I don't know much about your team. Mainly, coz its your team. Gallen, Lewis, Graham. Great back row. Where does Peachy fit in? On the bench? Maybe wearing a black jersey packed tightly behind a back row of Manu and Taylor.

could it be not just about oppurtunity as much as about what you can pay him.No offence to the sharks but your balance sheet does look shakey.We have no problems meeting what he is asking on both fronts .But as you say he may just want to stay

 

[Panthers@Heart]

Tim Grant doesn't want to go anywhere. Good Boy!!
Penrith Panthers front-rower Tim Grant has slammed rumours he wants out of the club saying: "To be honest it’s all a load of s**t."

 

[maple_69]

Great. Now lets give the guy the captaincy and move forward ffs.

 

[soc123_au]

Couldn't have said it any better.

 

[umina panther]

Love that honest response

 

[Panthers@Heart]

He cant leave. We need someone breed to appreciate the club. Anyone know what he's on ?

 

[Big Mick]

As I said when the person that posted it on here from NRL Gossip....he aint going anywhere.

Stop believing absolutely everything you see, especially from non-Penrith people.

Was on overs. Though given we are playing 600k over this year maybe the same next year. Good cap managements is bringing forward his & McKendry's back payments. So I guess $300k rather then 500k so much better.
