In the days before we play Newcastle... A very poor attempt to unsettle the team.

I didn't take it like that.

I think we get them both for 800k.

If we can’t, I’d choose Luai, I love Dylan, I don’t want any other FB, but we have some outstanding young FB options to replace him with. We don’t have an obvious replacement for Luai at this stage.

I’ve also heard that Nathan is willing to take a pay cut to keep the boys together.

Nathan already took 300-500k less per year

I'm not worried about retaining Luai and Edwards tbh. I think both stay.

I'm more worried about keeping May and Iongi after 2024.

I think Roosters go hard for May to replace Tupou.

May leaving is no loss. On or off the field

Isn’t Tupou leaving because they recruited Dom Young?

Roosters already got young from Newcastle, despite having Manu and Tedesco on a million each , plus the rest.

If we are comparing to the Roosters we can upgrade Edwards and luai and buy kikau and api back

 

[BossleyPanther]

I think this article is a non event, both will stay.

Penrith have an awesome team but we have managed our cap well.
We have a guns and rookies squad.

We know the guns but we have a large amount of good players on small contracts.

Kenny, hosking, Turuva, tago, and May are not on big coin and the rest of the bench in on very small contracts, including Sorrenson.

Fish, Yeo and Cleary are the big money but most of the team are on unders.
Crichton got shown the door because he wanted a payday.

The real story is which up and comers will we loose.

Soni Luke will be targeted by other teams, he could want a start and some big dollars, he is older than others coming through.

Turuva could see a lot of interest from elsewhere and our amazing juniors will continue to be poached.

Just call Api and ask how life is after Penrith

Reportedly staying after Suaaali singed with RU.

I'm sure getting paid what he's worth is perfectly acceptable

 

[The Teach]

Dylan Edwards is a great player but he isn't worth $1 Mil he isn't in the top 3-4 fullbacks , he needs the panthers as much as they need him, Luai would struggle outside someone else bar Cleary he doesn't control the team and you would say he isn't going to win you a game if it's tight so he is maybe worth $6-700 a year

You are criminally underrating Dyl here. The basis of our game is defence, and the fullback sets the defence. For the past 3 years, we have been the best defensive team in the league, and a lot of that credit has to go to Dyl reading opposition plays from the back and setting the line accordingly. If you watch him, you will see him ordering tacklers into the right position. The team have so much faith in him, and it shows, and this is why he is worth a significant pay increase

Happiness far out ways an extra $100-200k

Not after winning 3 comps and then being lowballed.

To'o staying is key to keeping the islanders interests. Not to mention lower graders that will come in

 

[Coast panther]

I think both dyl and laui stay, but the more it drags on the more likely it is we loose Martin. If that's the price we pay so be it, it makes alot more sense of our interest in wilton as a cheap alternative if we have to pay closer to market value to retain the pair

Been winning games without Martin..Hosking's is pretty much a Martin style anyway with abit less punch atm.

 

[Buzzard Breath]

If we don't low ball Edwards or Luai I think they take a little less than market value to stay.

 

[Black Diamond]

Bloody media gone berserk on speculation about Luai and Edwards. Someone mentions something and they all pick up the ball and run with it, frigging vultures.
