Rumoured & Confirmed Signings (2025 Season)

[Frankus]

We should be looking at Davvy Moale. I’ve had wraps on him for a number of years. He will probably be signed long term by the Bunnies though.

Damaging back rowers - geez it’s slim pickings out there at the moment for those not locked into long term contracts. Willison resigned with the Broncos long term? He could play on an edge or in the middle.

Only if we had a replacement lined up you'd think.

Fale on the wing?

what about Sam Lane? Didn’t he win flegg player of the year last year or was that 2023? I don’t get to watch enough cup games to really gauge how they are all travelling.

Considering the state our season is in I think we would look for a starter in firsts.

Neither do I re NSW cup. I see maybe 2-3 games a year in full and its at the ground when it's on before first grade. That is to say I haven't watched one game all year. But I'm curious to see how Parker Street shapes up nowadays.

June 1st v Eels will be the first time we can see reserves and firsts at the same ground this year. Looking forward to it.

Rising star Lemoto set to shun RA, NRL for France

Rugby Australia and the NRL both appear set to miss out on one of the brightest dual-code rising talents in the country with star schoolboy Heinz Lemoto seriously weighing up a move to France.

More bad news. Penrith have now lost Lemoto as well.

 

[BossleyPanther]

We no longer have NZ scouts?

 

[Copperhead]

Knew it was likely, but devastating all the same. A once in a generation talent.

Hopefully we can hang onto his brother who isn't as talented but still could turn out to be a great player

 

[John Hamblin]

Dom Young?

NO Mika Sivo mark2. Only runs hard when close to the line. Defence average but good under the high ball.

 

[PANTHERMIKE]

Thats Roosters version, he was great at Newcastle.

I wasn’t suggesting we should. I was suggesting maybe we are.

The Roosters are trying to off load him and we have apparently released a winger. So it was just a theory.

 

[age.s]

Young isn't perfect, but he makes our top 17 quite a bit stronger, given how Casey is going.

 

[Hooked]

We can't afford Dom Young. He is on $500k. We may have just gotten rid of a winger on basic wage.

I think @Whino is probably right a few pages back. We probably promote from within.
Jenkins is on a Dev contract and has been playing FG and will most likely fill-in for To'o over Origin. Development players from my understanding get a base wage then a bonus of $3K for every FG game they play. Economically it makes sense to upgrade him to the top 30. If we do that we still have position 30 to fill before June 30.

We can if the Roosters are paying half

At 250k for half a season young would be a great pick up. Speed and an aerial target. Something we havent had in years.

Hed walk straight into the 17.

Edwards
Too
Tago
Alamonti
Young

Looks way better then what we have atm.

Moale would be a great signing not that we have that coin

 

[Chins]

We could afford him for the rest of 2025 but that doesn't really help us as this year is no longer about results but building for the future.

 

[Hooked]

I doubt they do that.

He is linked back to the Knights anyway.

 

[John Hamblin]

How about Sean O'Sullivan to replace BS!

Tall, fast just needs some better coaching. No reason he can't be serviceable here.

 

[Chins]

I'm tired of our wingers carrying our middles so let's go in a different direction please.

Drop leota and plat patea for a week just to prove a point.
