Rumoured & Confirmed Signings - Part 5

[jane the pain]

The way I see it he thinks he is better. We have too many good players even our NSW cup side would make the 8.

Yeah I tend to agree. His prima Donna attitude is tiresome. Yes he had taken some intercepts, however, he isn't a good fullback.

Likely expected the club to jump through hoops to keep him, Ball is going to go back to back on top of the very young NSW Cup backline. He read the room very wrong

Penrith Police Station, reminds me of the army barracks the British set up in Ireland.



Nice touch to have ye olde public phone booth for the relatives.

I think the whole Police Area Command is hunkered down in there.

Hoping @Murraymob1 can share a story of his most recent arrest and what the cells are like. I hope they’ve replaced the pillows since my last visit.

Up in the corner of cell 56 you can just make out the signature of Tyrone May.

We are supposed to have made up and be besties Alice.

This was a part of my Panther familiarisation program.

Some of the forumers don’t know the area or live in it, so I’m helping out with photos.

It's small readable but TINY ....hawhawhaw

I’ve pulled out the 100 dancing Mitchell Moses’s for the Mardi Gras parade tonight.

@Someone2 is going to take my spot.

If he doesn’t, do you want my cardboard potato fig leaf?

The Penrith council should introduce a by-law against wearing doggies jerseys without wearing a red flashing light on your head.

And I’m tired of stepping over the injured doggies fans on Jane Street.

I was looking for the entry last week, couldn't find it

I can't wait to see them playing NRL... And I hope Luke proves me wrong.

I do enjoy your posts, but I think you might need a hobby mate.

"it wasn't about the money, it wasn't about position, I couldn't stay in Penrith" SC

Seems like the club really dropped the ball on this one.

Seems he thinks his shit doesn't stink.

How? It was clearly about the money, or else he would have accepted the clubs offer a year ago.

Something must have happened. He replaced Waqa Blake and I think he will end up on the same path. Dogs have a half decent hooker. But halves bottom 8 standard. Forwards are getting better and are young. Extra pressure Crichton's will expose more.

Sounds like he is trying to agitate for early release. If he is going to do that, play him in NSW cup so he doesn't ruin the team culture.

Disagree with that. The article was poorly written, very amateurish, and ambiguous. No author was named, so either Chricton, or his manager, wrote it for damage control. Critter appears to think he's bigger than the club

Not sure if you read the whole thing but he’s definitely not doing that. He speaks about how emotional he gets thinking it’s his last year here and how he won’t take it for granted and play his hardest every week.

Crichton didn’t say anything bad, maybe he’s putting a bit of spin on it saying it’s not about money etc but that’s understandable imo, he loves Penrith he doesn’t want people to think he bailed for a bit of extra money or because he wanted Dylan’s spot and wasn’t getting it. From everything I’ve read it sounds like the club couldn’t really afford him at his market price and didn’t try to hard to prioritise keeping him. Probably made a decent offer and then played hardball which is understandable from our perspective, we have a big cap squeeze and a number of talented guys who can take his spot for much less.

He never gave a reason for leaving

It said he realised there was no room for him here. Reading between the lines I’d take that to mean the salary cap squeezed him out, it’s just a bit of spin I don’t get why there would be a negative reaction to it he wasn’t negative about the club in any way.
