Rumoured & Confirmed Signings - Part 5

[Blade23]

Fantastic. Length?

Think its 2 years.

Any lower grade signings or re signings?

 

[Whino]

@Blade23 Jenkins going?

I know of one lower grade signing. Young bloke from the country. Local paper from where he is from will probably have a story soon.

A few off contract fringes won't be retained. Shouldn't' be too hard to work out who.

 

[Blade23]

@Blade23 Jenkins going?

I said a few weeks back we have a contract for him but he has interest elsewhere. I don't think he stays.

 

[Whino]

Thanks Blade.

Like wise. Turvna has clearly over taken him. Apart from Blacker, and Smith, I can't work out the lower grade players who won't be retained?

Falls will be one

Him too. Can you think of others?

 

[BossleyPanther]

Chris Smith?

I think he has shown enough, to merit consideration from a few of the lesser clubs that he may be worthy of a starting position. He’s not going to get that here, just a fact of life.

I agree. He would have taken May's place if that was the case

I’ve met Tom, lovely kid, I just think he is a player who is better than NSW Cup level but just maybe not quite NRL level and I say that with all due respect.

Play a few years in England then come back to a weaker NRL side would be my advice to him

Depends on what options he has here (in the NRL) I guess.

He can’t stay here he is going to be overtaken by the McLean brothers or the other kids who are SOO or junior Kangeroos within our junior system.

Tom is a really good finisher, I’ve always said that is his strongest attribute, but given what Pantherball is our wingers for some time now need to do the hard yards. 20 plus hit ups for around 200 metres and Tom is just not that style of player.

Our back three is the basis of our success this past four seasons.

 

[Luke Bowden]

Newcastle is a good fit for Milky.

More guys his age should do that, Come back mid 20's a far better player

He may have no other options other than the ESL.

I hope he gets picked up by another NRL side, he does have qualities he is just not the metre eater that our side relies upon in our structure. He is an entirely different style of winger, but is a very good finisher, his record in NSW Cup shows that.

Alamoti from the bulldogs is off contract this year apparently, he looks a good prospect.
I suspect he would be on overs and will probably be resigned but the dogs are under a lot of pressure.
They may not have the patience to wait for a young kid to hit his stride, or the ability to help him improve.

He is on more than Tago. Was too overpriced
