Rumoured & Confirmed Signings - Part 5

[Kilkenny]

Gus is going to go hard for AFB that is his real target.

 

[Aliceinwonderland]

Alice, why do you have to default to Gus in almost every instance.

Do you really hate the guy that much.

C. I don’t think the Dogs have the cap space and don't want Jerome anyway.

Cameron Ciraldo was very diplomatic on radio this morning around Jerome but it they are realistic about chasing him he was very unconvincing.

Every time I am critical of some of ways Gus does business, Kilkenny you jump right in.

Gus was never perfect, he did some good things here at Penrith. But towards the back end of his time here, Gus created lots of problems, cost the club money too, for the reasons I've explained.

I don't HATE Gus or anyone else for that matter.

I've said on another forum earlier today, if Gus offered for Luai, he would have to offload a couple of big players.

They don't have the cap space for AFB + Luai. AFB is the one they really want.

 

[Kilkenny]

Whether you liked him or didn’t there is no need to denigrate his legacy.

The good things that he accomplished laid the foundation for our success today.

We should be forever grateful for the positives and not dwell on the negatives.

 

[jane the pain]

I was told late last week he was likely gone. Hence my post on him likely leaving.
Now Luai has come back to the club indicating he would like another year added to their offer. Which I said in the past the club would do.
The clubs final play will come on Friday. We could be getting used to drive the Tigers offer up. As it is the only offer on the table. Or he may have had a sudden change of heart. The last few days have been very positive on our side.
If the meeting goes well and both sides want to strike a deal. I would not be surprised if we went up a tad more to seal the deal. If games are being played we will walk.

It is complete rubbish the Dogs are paying us respect by holding off in regards to not making a play for Luai. They went hard for Crichton and Spencer. Two players we wanted to keep.
The simple fact is the Dogs interest is barely lukewarm. Their meeting was a fizzer.

I'm beginning to lose respect for Criado.

Kilkenny, (sigh) I am not denigrating Gould's legacy. Gus is not the messiah. He is human, like we all are.

Gus made mistakes at Penrith, and at times cost the club big money. Living in denial about these facts is just silly.

I have said this over and over again (to you). Gus did some good things at Penrith. He, wasn't flawless. He also made some big mistakes. Corey Payne anyone as an example.

He spoke really well this morning Jane.

Very impressive.

Great communication skills.

Im not sure he can deliver on the roster changes he has been handed but I guess he was part of the process.

 

[Chins get the wins]

Gus' first half of his time here 9/10. The second half 2/10

Last quarter 2/10?

 

[The yak]

The WT are not that dumb surely.

One has to think they too have a limit. It would be non sensical if they allowed themselves to be placed into a position where they have to up the current offer what ever that may be.

Im definitely in the make a reasonable offer and in this case stick to it.

We have other priorities in terms of re-signings.

Tigers are dumb enough to go more. They kept raising their offer for Moses!

I said yesterday I think things are turning our way with Cameron's qoutes. I think the Dogs lack of interest possibly changed things?

 

[Hooked]

Just think the whole spine and Yeo aging out together is a big worry

Some tough calls will need to be made in a few years time.

 

[murraymob]

If we keep luia after tigers Pascoe said he would take over negotiations personally will be enjoyable as the tigers fans eat him up

Silverdale will convert to a panther fan .I think he is anyway

 

[Luke Bowden]

Hopefully they can make it work. It won’t be right seeing him anywhere else.

 

[Iamback]

Possibly but the halves in particular are yet to peak, We still have premierships to win.

We have 5 teenagers, If we can get them into the side will help. Particularly if Cole goes well at centre

Will be a bit of a shame to not see Nathan on the ball more. Even if he stays Luai's role should be somewhat reduced.

 

[Iamback]

Round up the deal

$2.7m over 3 years is a nice even amount.

Can still do that. Luai wants more of a role get him into 1st receiver more, it mixes it up

Have you seen the way they are trying to push Klemmer out? Very unprofessional.

Pascoe is desperate to get one over us. Even if it's a bad deal he would take it. The longer a situation goes on with him the more irrational he becomes.

That is why I want it to happen...

Laurie wins our 6. Then we win the comp... Almost makes losing Luai worth it to see his tears

I think that offer would be the right amount and length for the Panthers to go to try and get the deal done.

What Luai brings to the team off the field and adds to our culture, is alone worth and extra $50k and an extra year.

Luai can then make his new management team do some actual work to get him some thrid party deals to make up the difference of what the Tigers are offering him.
