Rumoured & Confirmed Signings - Part 5

[GongPanther]

To'o is a Penrith buy through and through. Recently bought his parents a house in the area. Yeserday on Gus' podcast, rumor has it we are connected to getting the Titan's player Faffita.

All grain of salt stuff.

And he needs to make the repayments on that house.

Easier to do with a bigger salary.

He will get a decent deal here, We have the cap space and can be closer to home

 

[mxlegend99]

We might offer him $400k or so. No way another club is going to blow that out the water. Fox is on like $500k at Bulldogs and they were incredibly desperate at the time.

I cant see another club outbidding us by enough that he would leave. He loves it here.

Not like Critter. If he gets an extra $100k elsewhere IMO he leaves.

Maybe not, but our success has been built of the back of our back three, not just recently but even back in the Mansour/DWZ days. Our back three make more metres than any other side, give our forwards breathing space and rarely fail to deliver. It really has been a critical component of our success.

In fact, statistically our entire outside backs 1-5 almost always run for over 100 metres each and every game which no other NRL side gets close too. I think it may have been Brad Arthur or Trent Robinson who made comment that if you can’t stop the momentum created by our 1-5 you can’t beat us.

Athletic outside backs who eat metres are a dime a dozen. Those with that and with good footy smarts/instincts are a bit rarer. But there's no lack of young players in the Josh Mansour mould, especially at wing.

An $11m salary cap in 2024, Even $500k like Fox isn't overs I doubt anyone pays much higher

Jojo Fifita? Now there's someone who could really blossom with us.

To’o easily gets $500k on the open market. He’s arguably the best/most important winger in the comp plus extremely marketable.

They'll need to load up on TPAs too.
Either a learn to drive service plus car, or a personal limo service, or a fat stack of Opal cards

What do you reckon say Mt Druitt to concord 2 times a day would be in an Uber?

$11m salary cap, I'd happily pay $500k for him. We are talking the best winger in the game and yet to hit his peak and suits our style well

nrl 360 linking Liam Martin to parra .if I have a choice of keeping Martin or Spencer.Spencer wins everytime

Oh f**k No! Plodder is worth 150K Max

Yeah exactly, Luai is his Uber driver. He better go get some driving lessons if he wants to leave Penrith.

1000%

Both are props, Martin is just being played out of position. I'd lean towards Spencer too but it's close

 

[Panfa]

If I had to get rid of 1 out of the 4 being chrichton t'oo Martin Spencer I'd get rid of chrichton his work rate compared to the other 3 is way off.

Without knowing what each guy wants money wise talk of who should stay or go is kinda missing an important piece of what's best for the team. It's all about value for money. And we won't know that until negations start.

 

[Murraymob1]

Lenu has come out in the press and stated he wants to stay but understands if he can’t that’s business.that tells me he should be our priority he is 20 and still a few years from his peak for his position.I beleive hoskings can handle Martina spot if one has to go
The cap is going up we should be okay to lose no more that 1 a year

 

[mxlegend99]

Priority to keep should be To'o / Leniu > Martin > Crichton.

Critter is a talented player but honestly not close to as important to the team as his desired wage suggests.

I hope we hold off on releasing Staines to see how the situation with others plays out. If we lost both To'o and Critter we would be needing to rebuild a backline and Staines is a great temporary fixture while doing that.

Hell I think we could be successful with:

2. Turuva
3. May
4. Tago
5. Staines

Though i just cant see To'o leaving. Not if we're fair to him which we definitely will be.

Critter though. I just feel like he will expect us to match whatever money desperate clubs are happy to throw at him.
