Rumoured & Confirmed Signings - Part 5

[BossleyPanther]

$500k is spot on from the top 100 list. Kiks was $700k

we offered Critter $700k according to the club too so must have the money

Yep and to give Api 50% off what kikau on top of his $500k, he would have stayed. We knew kiks was going and maybe we would have kept Hopgood. This stuff reminds me of the Gower/Wallace days.

Given Kiks was already on overs, Chances were good he was going. Not just Api we are running Peachey at hooker due to needing a plan B. All due to being tight

 

[Luke Bowden]

Let Luai go next year and poach two guns.

Who are you going to sign that is better than Luai???

 

[BossleyPanther]

I think Trindell should be an NRL regular.

 

[Blues Riff]

Peachy is simply maintaining match fitness. He has the experience and versatility to come into firsts when needed and do a job like he did v Canberra.

 

[Old and Disgruntled]

I think Trindell should be an NRL regular.

Please...not at this club.

 

[BossleyPanther]

There's no room here, maybe Tigers

I like the look of him at the dogs. Think he would go well opposite Burton.

He would actually. But I've become bitter about the dogs

Tbh I'd probably just blood cole.. Nath can do it all so don't really need a star at 6. I'd let him go and try poach a good hooker like I said before Starling and with the left over lollies I'd get a strike 3.

Starling is inconsistent and not that great.

I think your massively undervaluing Luai.

Tago is our strike 3.

It’s criminal. Our turn-around started when he came into the starting team (and well as bringing in Api), and the guy has a 60% winning record in Origin.

I ment 4 ...replace Critter

Bruh our teams stacked...especially the forwards and having Yeo basically playing as a half plus having the worlds best halfback in Cleary next to you...aslong as you can tackle you'll look like a good 6 in the panthers side. Not saying Luai isn't good, he is good but not worth the coin he will demand! I'd pay him 500k a year max when other clubs will offer over 800k

It’s no coincidence that Cleary plays his best footy when Luai is playing alongside him.

Edwards and Luai should definitely be priority re-signings. They are both irreplaceable.

Jack Cole will probably get first crack at Right centre when Critta departs.

A hooker would be nice, but there is no one on the market worth looking at.

Exactly. Kenny and Luke at the moment are holding their own quite well. Especially after seeing Kenny's defence last night, and Luke's 2 try assists.

Kenny gave away about 3 penalties in the first 15mins.. also cost us against the eels and every other week he gives away plenty of penalties

 

[GowersDallyM]

I'll add Luai has given away more penalties and ruck infringements then Kenny..probably the worst in the team for it.

That's not really supported by his performance in the World Cup. He was brilliant for Samoa playing without Cleary or Yeo and was one of the best players in the whole tournament. He got his team to the final. $500k is a deadset insult.

Luai's "Mr Cool" persona, does him no favours at all. He is criminally underrated by many people and a slow start to the season (he is not alone there, Yeo, Cleary, JFH and Leota have also been flat) have made people forget how good he can be.
