Rumoured & Confirmed Signings - Part 5

[age.s]

Hmmm live on the beach or Penrith......

Penrith 2000%. Bondi is a zoo and the beach is overrated in general.

Hmmm live on the beach or Penrith......

What’s the difference to him living on a beach now at the Gold Coast? What’s stopping him from travelling 50 mins and heading back to Brisbane or alternatively moving to the Sunshine Coast and driving 45 mins to Redcliffe? It’s all relative.

If he is deadset keen on trying to win a premiership in 2025 and beyond its Panthers or nothing. Any other decisions is just for cash and a complete waste of Panthers time.

As I said Roosters halves will not make any dents beyond 2025. Walker and Smith will not win a premiership.

He could do both and commute with Sorro.

Again it depends what he wants really, atleast we have put our hat in the ring

 

[Black Panther]

For once I’d like to see the Roosters eat a shit sandwich and miss out.

 

[Chins get the wins]

We can pretend it doesn't play a part but it does. In this case I don't believe it will though

 

[Bred not Bought]

Again my concern was how this plays in the media to me he will go to the highest bidder nothing to do with winning.every club wanting to talk is ending in the media

He has done it in the past. When the Titans were originally after him. it dragged out as the Broncos and Titans kept increasing their offers.
Then he tried to shake the Raiders down. Two goes by the them over the past 18 months.
Its funny. He could negotiationed weeks ago with clubs. But does so a few days before the deadline approaches.
He is still after the big score. We need to move on.

 

[mxlegend99]

If Roosters want him. They’ll get him.

Offering less than us under the cap. But theres definitely going ti be brown paper bags.

 

[Black Magik]

Comes down to if he wants to play with unproven halves or with Cleary and Yeo tbh. Where he will play where most likely a premiership will happen.

I can’t see Walker and Sandon Smith leading Roosters into a premiership in 2025 or anytime soon tbh.

Walker won’t be there after 2025

 

[Blade23]

Are you confident we get him to Penrith?

I was last night.

 

[The yak]

We can match the Roosters offer but I suspect they will go higher.

 

[Red&BlackBear]

We can match the Roosters offer but I suspect they will go higher.

If you believe the reports Panthers is higher…
Roosters $3.3m over 4 seasons = $825k
Panthers $2.55m over 3 seasons = $850k

Rumours are that Dragons offer will be in the vicinity of $910k-$930k a season for 4 seasons…

My trusted lebanese mate (oxymoron I know) says Dogs are also monitoring the situation too. There could be a $875k offer coming from them.

Who knows - I guess there will be answers by Thursday unless he just activates the clause to leave GC Titans and then plays around with the offers dragging it out which in that case pull it off the table and move on. Panthers don’t need those games.

Does he play golf ? Anyways they need backs don't they ??

 

[BossleyPanther]

Fkn Roosters overrated BS living off the past

 

[The yak]

Anyways they need backs don't they ??

Do they?
I bet Manu comes back middle of next year. On a reduced deal. Like Gasnier did.
They are linked to Cobbo too.
If Angus doesn't stay they probably go after a 2nd rower.

 

[WestyLife]

I was last night.

That screams not today

As long as they don't engage in a bidding war all will be right. Roosters will be hard to beat though they usually get their guy.

Dogs don't need him. They need middles and a halfback. Gould does like shiny new toys though.

I think its between us and the Chooks. Everyone else is just being used.
Probable chance everyone is getting used and he extends with the Titans for more coin.

Have any of their players progressed beyond what they were when they got signed? Is Young better right now than this time last season? Is Cheese better at Roosters than he was at Storm? I’m sure Roosters cannot be beaten in financial and post playing incentives but you know where they can be beaten? On the field - in finals.

Agree that a bidding war shouldn’t be entertained. David either wants to go to Panthers or doesn’t - simple as that.

As I said, I am happy to see us have a crack.

As long as we don't get in a bidding war then I am fine with where it stands

For non financial football related reasons Panthers is the objective best choice.

 

[MugaB]

I know he’s a backrower but the size of him, would we be looking to play him in the middle? I mean he’s like 6ft3 and 120kg…

Can't tackle, no point
