Rumoured & Confirmed Signings - Part 5

[Chins get the wins]

I have a work colleague who is close to the Luai family; apparently the Tigpies are offering Bizza substantially more than what he’s on with us - (f*ck knows how they’re squeezing it under the cap?) - for him to seek an early release and the desire for him to play alongside Luai is strong as they are practically Brothers.

But then it all comes down to Bizza and Penrith management. If he values premiership rings more than a bit more coin to play alongside Luai, he’ll stay as I can’t see the Tigers in the top 8 for at least the next three seasons. Moreover, considering Bizza is contracted with us until the end of 2027, I doubt the club will be inclined to let him go just like that.

I'm sure they'll survive living an hour apart. Stop spending this shit

Again am not giving said rumour credit, and genuinely hope it’s not the case, but more or less just stating what I’ve heard.

1 + 1 = 3.
They will be in a world of hurt if this were true, as enticing someone to break a contract is harshly treated, although difficult to prove.

Proving it is another matter though...

I much prefer the Blaize to Panthers rumour, can you ask your friend to ask Romeys family if they have any word on this one??

Considering that is literally anti-tampering if they have offered anything, I'd suggest it's not true tbh.

If true Penrith would be straight into NRL headquarters registering a complaint.

Isn't it funny how some folks go. My work mates brother's sister's father 2nd cousin..........All for a story.

If true Penrith would be all over the NRL like a cheap suit, because of the anti tampering laws.

Nah....no way...when has that ever happened ?! LOL

I seem to recall the Tigers trying to do that to a young Penrith halfback. They didn’t get done for tampering, but they opened Pandora’s box and they lost their coach. Suggesting that family was important didn’t turn out too well for them, and they had to sack another coach…

Hopefully they have learnt their lesson. I can just see the Tigers approaching To’o through his Luai connection, talking about how much it means to play with your mates, and suggesting that contracts are fungible, and Luai saying ‘you’re right, I want to stay a Panther.’

 

[Nealo 12]

When was the last time we let a player go to another club midway through his current contract , won’t happen and I doubt he’s that kind of guy to put himself through it

 

[WestyLife]

To'o is the best winger in the comp if leaving was even so much as a passing shower thought the media would be going nuts over it.

Besides Fish?

 

[Murraymob1]

Nrl 360 would be all over it they hate us .they would be running the story if they thought it had legs

 

[Nealo 12]

Besides Fish?

Yeah well that aside was on compassionate grounds to return home , yeah that may be the only way

 

[Westernised Panther]

Reports that Tanah Boyd might be on the move after 2024. If we didn’t have the depth that we seem to have in the halves, he wouldn’t look out of place. Plus, there is Penrith lineage running in his veins

These are the moves a 3 peat powerhouse club should be making but we have flopped most times we have tried to flex our muscles.
These are signings Easts make but it being in the media already almost rules it out imo

Would be a ridiculously good signing. No doubt about that.

Are you ready @Chins get the wins ?

Penrith release Tago to join his brother at the Eels. Parramatta trade the Talagis.
