Rumoured & Confirmed Signings - Part 5

[Hooked]

@Blade23 from the list of K Falls, C Smith, P Riki & E Blacker will they be with us or moving on next year mate?

I would get rid of the lot. Get some new blood in that can actually press for FG or hold the fort for a few games.

Riley Price is a good pick up. A few more fringes like him to fill the squad out.

 

[snickers007]

Falls Smith and Blacker should all go. Not sure about Riki. Would like to see CHN back not sure of contract situation or his health.

CHN is signed with the Raiders until 2025, with an option in his favour for 2026.

I think we need a few older heads down there, NSW Cup is far too young

Who would you suggest?

I would move on Smith and Falls though.

For me. It isn't just x player is experienced lets bring him.

Jenkins is going - someone like Hymel Hunt or Grant Anderson
Guys that would come for cheap and you aren't blocking anyone's path with them here. Outside backs and middles seem to be holes and perfect for one or 2 guys

Morgan Boyle is another off contract.

But there would be better in England that you could bring back. Like Cogger on their way elsewhere.

Early NSW Cup side

Iongi
??
McLean
Cole
??
Laurie
Schneider
Lisati
Sommerton
Price
Mav
Garner
??
Soni Luke/Peachey somewhere too

There are few younger guys I rate highly that I would get on Development deals like Hassett and Luron but they are 12 months away from being regular senior footy

Paul Amoloti signs with Penrith.

Tree trunks hey... someone mentioned we should have a go at him, most here laughed, he is a very powerful centre, imagine a few off seasons at Penrith, fmd

Think he is a great signing. Won't cost too much and plenty of potential upside to him.

Would be so good to do one on the dogs, they take our good players and turn them to kaka, lets develop Alamoti into a gun!

Is he our cleary back up, not bad although sticky wont be happy, or perhaps he buys him at seasons end

 

[jane the pain]

Now watch Ivan, and co, bring out the best in these two. Very astute signings.

 

[snickers007]

Interesting the article says that Alamoti will fill the final spot in out Top 30 for next season.

Using the list from NRL.com, I've got 25 including Schneider and Alamoti.
We can probably add Henry and Lisati from the development squad too, making it 27.

I wonder who the other 3 are...

interesting signings - big potential - masterstroke if it comes off

just let them learn the Panthers way - if they are good enough- their talent will show for us

You've got Eisenhuth on till end of next year as well who should fill the 13 unless we want to use that spot for one of the kids to develop their ball playing a bit like Hopgood & Smith have done in the past few years.

Definitely think we could use a Brendan Elliot type for the backline even if Amituanai/Sielaff-Burns are earmarked for a role. If Staines does end up coming back he'd certainly do the job there though.

 

[Fangs]

I don't mind the Alamoti signing. He has some potential.

Some talk before about Garner going early. Maybe to the Dogs?

 

[goldcoastpanther]

Alamoti and Schneider sign with Panthers

Penrith Panthers is pleased to announce the signings of Paul Alamoti and Brad Schneider ahead of next season.

Hope so, i don't find him offering much, most people here love his hole running, i just don't see his defence, maybe he is getting better thru out this season, but at the start of the year he was a turnstile

 

[Exsilium]

Paul Alamoti is a very talented player. Powerful with good footwork. Has some speed too.

He can draw and pass, which will net us plenty of tries.

Needs some work on his defence but I think we can solve that issue.

Great signing.

 

[Pomoz]

Re the Schneider singing, we are almost becoming finishing school for halves. Because of the brilliance shown on the field, we overlook how good the coaching, conditioning, analytics, commercial management and medical staff are.

I see pictures of Ivan in the coaches box, surrounded by staff and I only recognise Peter Wallace. With their laptops open, the rest look like accountants and management consultants. Clearly, he has surrounded himself with some brilliant staff. "No names" with the right skills and experience to add to the footy nous Ivan and Peter can bring.

You can no longer compete with a coaches team full of just ex players. "Dylan was our fittest, let's make him our conditioner" doesn't cut it anymore. The body of knowledge behind sports science is vast and complex and changing all the time. You need people with an intimate understanding of the science to compete at the elite level.

The old style Sand dune runs and a "no pain, no gain" regime will develop character, as long as you don't mind seeing your players injured on a regular basis and unable to last 80 minutes of NRL intensity.
