Rumoured and Confirmed Signings

[franklin2323]

What about 7 Soward, 6 John.

Given what's left that would be my preference. Coote also an option but John goes well with Walsh & Moylan. Soward is the same style as Walsh just better.

Quit having a tug champ. He's behind two Kiwis internationals. And doing himself no favours by performing poorly in reserve grade. Carlos Tuimavave would be in front of him as well as far as halves go.

Hahaha.. Yeah behind 2 Kiwi internationals, who are also out of form.

If he was ever going to get a shot at FG this was probably his year to push for a spot considering how up and down the Warriors have been. But as you said, has done himself no favours.

I honestly believe he'd kill it in ESL.

But don't pretend that the warriors are anything special. They have won a few games, ok. But still a very avg team - don't kid yourself CHAMP.

 

[Scotty03]

With rumours Soward may end up playing for ESL for the rest of this season I'd DEF be ensuring that doesn't happen.

Suck it up Gus, put a few dollars on the table and get him over here this year!

Heard enough of this "it''ll disrupt the team" crap. He won't be doing anything that Walsh isn't doing now except getting a head start to gel with his future squad.

If we were to ask Soward to run every play like Walsh does now and not "disrupt" the current teams flow just ask him to Kick on the 5th and convert goals. Job done.

A change mid-year has worked for many players and teams. Why not us.

 

[Graftonpanther]

Yes I would have no issues if he came across now, Walsh can always be let go early as well.

Walsh can't go. St Helens have no import room. We need them to take his remaining contract to have space.

Soward doesn't know any of the players that's the concern Off season is the best time for a half to come

 

[Graftonpanther]

Fair enough

 

[franklin2323]

Fair enough

I still rate Toby Evans as our best half. I could handle him getting a run but it wont happen

Gus was interviewed on 2UE this evening and was asked about Soward comming to the Panthers early. His reply was that they didnt want the current team disrupted and wanted Soward to have a full off-season to get to know the team. He didnt want to place extra preassure on Jamie to lift the team. He was happy for Soward to play in England in the meantime.

was the moylan issue raised

 

[Thirsty Panther]

was the moylan issue raised

Yes. There seems to be some changes coming next season in regards to salary cap rules. Gus did mention that maybe a interim rule change this year that would allow Moylan to play in two weeks if passed.

The mole is saying we are close to signing peachey.

Might explain Austin being on the outer.

Yeah. I heard Austin was gone to Parra since about round 6. Now with the Parra cleanout us not rushing to sign him seems it might be true sadly

Well if we sign peachey it makes it more understandable at least.

Yeah. Looking back when Coote went down choosing Humble over Austin was probably the 1st clue. If he was fit he would be our centre this week aside from that I don't know where he would play

 

[what ever]

Austin is still on the injury list isn't he - ankle operation needed. Hence Isaac John.

In round 3 he wasn't. played 1 game for Walsh that's it.

 

[BOMAR]

Spoke with Austin on Saturday out at st marys, got the impression Penrith don't want him. He definitely hasn't signed with anyone else. And he dosnt need an operation, should be back in about 4 weeks. Cant understand the peachy rumour though, if you don't know where Austin fits in, then where would peachy. Would much rather keep a Penrith junior, seems a weird signing to me.

Agree. Keep the penriff in penriff!

 

[Panthers@Heart]

would you say Austin, Elijah Taylor and Peachy are all similiar players?

 

[chrisD]

Peachey can slot into dummy half better than Austin, Taylor or Brown, it's all I can see. We didn't need to sign Taylor, but that deal was done long ago I understand.

9. Peachey

14. Segs
