Rumoured & Confirmed Signings - Part 5

[billypilgrimnz]

Staines is average and we will gain more than we lose if he moves on (i.e., more cap space to keep the better players in the squad).

 

[billypilgrimnz]

Staines will bite us.

I don't know, we seem to handle the other 20-odd wingers in the comp that are better than him just fine, so I think we will survive should he line up against us.

 

[Whino]

Turuva and Smith commit to Panthers

Panthers youngsters Sunia Turuva and Lindsay Smith re-sign with the Panthers.

Sunia Turuva and Lindsay Smith locked in for 2023 and 2024

Two Wayne won't get.

 

[chrisD]

Staines should try to get somewhere other than the Dogs.

 

[Iamback]

Two Wayne won't get.

I repeat. The locals will stay atleast short term. Turuva can still play Flegg next year he is much better staying here. Can re-assess in 2024 what is best for him

if we can get him to stay for 4 years, he will have that number 1 spot as Dylan would be 30 in 2026 and be good for him to get a payday at some other club.

Nice contract for Turuva. Finishes the same time as Edwards extension. End of next year we should have a better idea what the right play is for the following 5 years or so.

Yeo will be 30 at the end of 24 and, like Melbourne have done so well, we need to plan the transition of Cleary, Luai, Yeo and Edwards really carefully. I wouldn’t want our two most critical defensive players moving on at the same time in say 2026.

Well Ciraldo is going to be in big demand right now
Brown from the warriors gone by the end of week
Maguire gone by end of week
Barrett already gone
He has been sitting a waiting.there are now 3 position available now

Dogs are the only squad I'd want to work with but f**k working under Gus and his ego

He is better off waiting.

Take the Dragons they likely don't win the comp with Hook but are around the finals.

Could take that middle of the road roster in a couple of seasons and push them top 4.

 

[ColdWetPanther]

From a football perspective yes, but as I understand it he is a shy kid who struggles a bit being away from home. Playing with some of the other central west boys might help that.

I'd pick Warriors...only the fact that you ain't expected to do a hell of alot in the first year coaching unlike Tigers and Dogs who are becoming desperate to make finals. Head to NZ release alot of the players and keep the young guns...build NZ up like the panthers full of kids and try sign someone like Munster.

 

[Girds89]

Billy burns killed us in nsw cup on the weekend.
3rd game of the season and 2nd back from injury..

Played 80min
160m
2 try assists
3 linebreaks
5 tackle breaks

Best on ground apparently.

We really should make a play for him.

All shit positions. Ciraldo would be better off waiting for a better club.
Those 3 club's are coach killlers.

 

[The yak]

New Limited journos have been pushing for Ciraldo to join the Tigers for the past week. What a great fit he would be etc.
It's like Barrett hype to the Dogs all over again.
The messiah is coming to save the club!

Agree; good roles will come up over the medium term. Parra is likely to be looking for a coach next year. Who knows how long Des stays at Manly. Presumably there has been some discussion of succession planning at Penrith.

I think he can afford to be picky.

Is this just trolling? I hope so, because he is in NSW Cup for a reason, he is absolute rubbish.

In theory yes but then you'd have to move to another country. Which is why they only get dud coaches

I'd put Dragons in that boat as a possible next year too. All better positions then the 3 listed

 

[Munky]

Dragons are an interesting one.

They have a core of Griffin's last grand final team.

Being the Broncos 08 Toyota cup side.

Not sure you want to take over a side with an aging Ben Hunt, McCullough and McGuire.
