Rumoured & Confirmed Signings - Part 5

[Copperhead]

Kind've forgot about Trent tbh. I thought we looked as good with him on the field. I saw some bagging his service but my impression of his first stint was he was firing quick clean passed from the ground to the receiver. Think he could be a good hooker.

That's how I saw it too. His service was much better than Sommerton's, and his kicking game out of dummy half is something we've lacked.

Zero tackle saying we've signed david to an nrl contract, assuming its a dev contract cause physically he looks like an NRL player he doesnt play like one yet.

Same article said Sommo doesnt have a contract for next year yet. Wonder what is happening there? Clear number 2 hooker right now, I know Billy Scott is rated but you'd think we would be keen on Sommo also.

David probably needs to work hard on the defensive side of his game.

 

[Iamback]

pretty much guarantee that Soni Luke wont be at the club - better options available now

He is contracted next year

Yeah but is very raw. So training fulltime will help

With no Sommerton he should get some gametime there.

Iongi
Laurie
Schneider
Luke/Toelau

Should be the NSW Cup spine next year.

I wonder if the bunnies are going to snap him up as Cook has told his mates he is leaving

Maybe but I think they have their next hooker playing off the bench already

Yeah he doesnt look like he can defend in the centres even at cup. He does look like he has makings of a decent winger, fast tall, decent footwork. I wonder if he can jump and catch.

How long is Iongi singed for? I see no reason he'd want to hang around here much longer

 

[age.s]

I hope we keep Sommerton. There's a player in there.

He goes into the FT squad next year

With no path to playing. He should bail

With no path to playing. He should bail

He no doubt will but is still Flegg eligible. Probably better off in NSW Cup here then playing for bum club in the same position

End of 2025

Panthers sign outside back to first NRL contract​

He has played 11 games for the NSW Cup team this season.​

The Penrith Panthers have signed one of their most impressive reserve-grade players to their maiden NRL contract.

After making an immediate impact in his 11 NSW Cup games this season, outside back David Fale has signed a multi-year NRL deal with the Panthers, his maiden NRL contract.


Debuting in reserve grade last season, Fale has scored three tries, managed 20 tackle busts and three line-breaks and is averaging 67 running metres per match this season.


The signing of Fale to an NRL deal will see him compete with the likes of Paul Alamoti, Jesse McLean, Daine Laurie Casey McLean, Asu Kepaoa and Isaiah Iongi for the two vacant backline spots next season - Sunia Turuva will depart for the Wests Tigers, and Taylan May is set to have his contract torn up in the coming weeks.


Penrith has six players who remain off-contract at the end of the season, but it will likely be reduced to four with Paul Alamoti and Daine Laurie reportedly agreeing to new contracts.


Matthew Eisenhuth, Tyrone Peachey and Luke Sommerton remain without a contract for the 2025 NRL season.

If any of those 3 get a contract we are in trouble

Sommo goes fine for a backup 9. Huth used to be a good replacement for Yeo but we have moved past that now.
And Peach well he just sucks and always has

Recency bias Exhibit A.

When Hook was coaching our attack like a child it was usually Peach or Moylan that had to do some sort of freakish solo effort to even get one try.

The guy's played 200 games and score 60 NRL tries playing from bench, lock, second row, five eight for portion of his career. Even a centre with a strike rate of well over 1 try in 4 games is about average pre 6 again rule change and Peachey has played half his games in other positions. It wasn't a fluke that he did that. To do that you have to have ability other NRL quality players don't have.

You don’t play 200 plus NRL games if you can’t play.

I understand you don’t rate Tyrone but he has had a great career of which his best years were with us the first time around.

Tyrone was a terrific player.

3 or 4 mistakes for every little moment of magic and that was in his "prime"

You don.t get picked for ORIGIN if you are not a decent player.

You really need me to make a list of poor Origin players?

People who rate Peach only look for hightlights
