Rumoured & Confirmed Signings - Part 5

[hindy111]

I think Fafita will go to Penrith. I reckon he knows he needs a side with good structure and success. Roosters I still think will be a strong side and if he wants that lifestyle. But right now he needs Penrith I feel. It would be perfect for his career.

Looks like the Tigers will be the destination for juicy deals on good players squeezed out by the cap.

Reckon Papalii on the cheap would go well for us off the bench.

At $500-$600k would be a great deal and buy a prop with another $500k

Ivan yesterday it effects alot of people ($850k to Fifita, what about me says the loyal current players) next minute I want a release

 

[jane the pain]

What's happening with Sorro?

 

[Blade23]

What's happening with Sorro?

Knee injury. He won’t be rushed back.

 

[ALX25]

I wasn’t aware we have signed him for three years.

Dontknow Billy Phillips contract situation either but from what I have seen I would locking him up for a couple of years otherwise he is going to get poached.

Will play NRL. Another great find for your recruitment team.

Fifita’s Panthers deal is ‘imminent’... but there’s fears over the ‘ripple effect’ it could have

Great to hear we're looking good for his signature, but my word can some of those dudes spout some shit.

He's a second rower you'll never find a better fit for ivan in your life.

Still I'll believe it when blade says it bloody fox sports.

 

[Hamstring awareness]

Losing a few guys for next year though. They cant sustain success without signing big names.

take out Manu, Keary, JWH, Suaalii and thats a third of their starting side.

Not sure Crichton or Tupou will be there next year either. Obviously Roosters will buy the biggest and best names off contract to replace them though.

I think you answered your first sentence with your last

 

[Hamstring awareness]

The Roosters dont look like a team on the slide to me. They look like a top 4 team this year.

Agreed

@Roosters rule any news on Angus or Fifita from your end?

Your mob is in the box seat. Anything can happen with negotiations though. Holbrook is our ace up our sleeve.

We want to keep Gussy.
I think if we did land Fifi. Gussy wouldn't come to Penrith. Gussy was a private school rugby boy, who lives in the inner city. I don't see him looking outside that bubble. NRL related at least. Plenty of crap has been speculated over him, but a lot of is is misinformation. I think he stays with us.

A failed bum of a coach is your ace?

Welcome to Penrith David

They are close.

 

[soc123_au]

I didn't have Justin Holbrook as a drawcard on my Bingo card.

 

[Goonji]

They are close.

Haven't heard any past or present Panther players say anything negative about Ivan. Fifita would have been speaking to our current players to get a feel about Ivan, no doubt. Also, Holbrook isn't the head coach.

 

[Pomoz]

Personal relationships are so important. That has to give the Roosters a slight advantage. The Panthers very rarely win any contract negotiations,Uncle Nick wrote the book on it, so I expect Fifita to become a Rooster.

Happy for Fifita to come to penrith as long as he does not raid all the pie shops and leaves some for me unlike the great man latimore who left only the vegetarian pies

We need some decent pie shops. Most of them are pretty ordinary.
