Rumoured & Confirmed Signings - Part 5

[MugaB]

A couple of his best friends left in Crichton and Lenui. For the most part, players often decide based on the money on offer and no one can dent them that, careers in this game are short and they need to set themselves up beyond football. There will be no media career for Jerome and I don’t see him in the coaching ranks so he is most likely going to require a new career with a business or even have @n actual job. I think he will most likely stay, but I wouldn’t put my money on it.

Chricton is a very good centre, and a doable fullback, Spencer is an out and out prop, none of them can demand anything theyll have to barter for the best deal everytime, good halves a very hard to come by, Romey can demand whatever he wants

Both are great players, we are going to find it difficult to replace either, sadly.

Tiny May and L Smith are those replacing them

Tiny May and L Smith are those replacing them

Tiny May returning from ACL always some doubt after such a serious injury and could be a huge ask to expect him to slot into vacant Crichton spot.

Lindsay has virtually established himself now in our top 17 so need to find someone else. I think Liam Henry is the man, not like for like, but he is a terrific talent.

Pele has been told by the Dogs he can go. This is someone from when at the Sharks I wanted here, I'm sure our system would make him an outstanding player.

 

[Iamback]

Honestly some clubs wouldn't want him because of who he is. Their loss

Off field stuff aside.

He isn't an organiser, Not sure anyone is after his style of player. Dearden is the one they will chase

Not so sure. You wouldn't put him in the 7.

We will offer $800k, it takes $1.2m to even be a chance, No one is paying him that

 

[jane the pain]

Well if they could sell him as a million dollar halfback at some other random club, they get a percentage of that million dollars....
Luai wants to stay at penrith and play with his best friends, that is plain to see, managers dont care about players wishes

Exactly

I don't mind him as a project player. Worth a punt.

 

[goldcoastpanther]

PeLe has signed with an English club.

He’s got nothing mate. Big body but hasn’t been able to make the grade at the Sharks or Dogs. Career in the NRL over.

A quick question was Salmon offered a contract or not?

I'd say the club picked Peach over him for the role moving forward. Money and form based decision

I agree. Peach (at times) does have the odd error in him, but he also has that flash of brilliance and creativity. Especially when you realise he can basically fill in everywhere except prop.

As much as I've given peach some stick I reckon if ivan asked it of him he'd at least try to give 110% at prop for the club.

That's my thoughts

So true. If ever there was a player who should have never left the club, it was Peach.
He looks, and plays so much better in Penrith colours than any others. He also looks so happy and content about being back. A lesson for many talented players. Sometimes the extra money at other clubs just isn't worth it.

Love his committment each game too.

 

[mxlegend99]

I doubt the club 'chose' Peachey over Salmon. I think the market and how much the players love the club kind of made the decision for us. But we were probably keen to keep both.

Peachey for all his flaws just loves the club and when he left the first time tried to backflip to stay. When he got a chance to return he took a paycut to do so.

So I think as long as we had a spot for him. He would choose to stay.

 

[maple_69]

Salmon may have had something to do with it as well. He’s never going to have a big role in our side but has shown at times he has a bit of skill. Maybe he wanted to back himself to play a bigger role in a side, he is still young, whereas Peach is what he is and has had some good money contracts at this stage of his career but hasn’t tasted the ultimate prize.

 

[murraymob]

I think the club offered salmon a 1 year deal the dogs offered him a 2 year deal.Some guys spend there whole career on 1 year deals so salmon would have jumped at a 2 year deal and the security of it
