Rumoured & Confirmed Signings - Part 5

[Iamback]

That's a good idea, didn't think of that. Would also make him a starting 17 instead of fringe. More likely to keep him.

Not sure he is a long term option but in the medium term is the best option

 

[West Nowra Panther]

Why is it every time there is a player off contract...
We should buy him, ffs, we struggle to keep who we have... other NRL players won't improve our team unless they were fringe guys like sorrenson or hosking, that can build into NRL grade thru our system... its like asking for brandon smith then seeing the car crash that is the Sydney Rosters

Ivan's idea of hardening players up through NSW cup has worked exceptionally well in the last couple of years.
Sorenson, Smith, Hosking and now Jenkins has kept the production line solid.
There's not too many brilliant U/20 year old players that can get away without being battle hardened in reserves.

Don't forget Tago, what performances he has had this last 2 weeks.

I agree he is an exceptional talent, but did play a fair bit of reserve grade at a young age and could not have been held back any longer. Would be nice to have another one like him to step into Crichtons boots next year.

To my knowledge Tago actually had very limited time in Cup given COVID. First half of 2021 would of been it? Did he play any Flegg in 2020? There obviously weren't many games played..

He's definitely an outlier, most need to go through both comps for a decent stint.

Go back afew months and read my comments.. I did state that we should go after Dane incase Luai walks. Panthers must be reading my comments.

I wonder if this is the ex-Penrith 1st grader that @Blade23 was referring to…….

 

[Sime_11]

Luai aint going anywhere

Laurie will come on minimum wage where he will work hard to get limited opportunity in first grade to get a starting spot elsewhere

he'll be astute for Cup, but he's not replacing anyone in FG.

I've been saying for months that I've got a gut feeling Luai will go. I'm kinda hopeful he does because then we have alot of coin to buy others.

Nailed it.

Luai/Cleary will be our halves for many years

Except there is no quality halves on the market

 

[WestyLife]

Yep that's why tigers are getting sezer

 

[GowersDallyM]

I'm sure Cogger or Dane would be good playing 6 for a year or two

The funny thing in the article is the inuendo linking Luai to the Raiders.

Ricky would lose his mind.

Good doesn't cut it. We need elite there with how top heavy the squad is

 

[Sime_11]

i think Luai buying the house recently proves he's not going anywhere.

its basically stay at Penrith or go play for the Tiges.

he aint going to Parra
he aint going to Dogs

he's a westie at heart

Blade was referring to a forward.
