Rumoured & Confirmed Signings - Part 5

[Fangs]

That makes more sense.
Jesse McLean will come in for To'o next week injury permitting. If he doesn't shit the bed, He'd take Turuva's spot. Alamoti/Tago centres.

Leaves needing depth or guys to come in if those guys struggle.
Braidon Burns is another who could be a NSW Cup and play some NRL

I don't see what Staines offers in first grade.

Can't play centre as you said. Results at fullback haven't been too flash.

His best attribute was his speed. And at times this year he has looked slow. Xavier Savage at the Raiders is ahead of him already and I don't think he will catch up.

 

[GowersDallyM]

If I said two years ago Panthers will get Papa when he was in killer form we'd all be amazed and over the moon considering how much of our cap was tied up.

I think it's a massive signing almost as big as Angus would have been. If Pap played at the roosters he'd be just as effective as Angus so basically we got a younger cheaper version with alot less head noise and someone that wants to play for us for probably abit over half the money.

We won big on this.

We also are promoting Iongi to full time next year and is a like for like with Staines. Not sure it fits squad balance

Did you watch Naden last week, he is not someone I'd have come back. There are better talent at other clubs.

Of course there is but they need to be able to play centre and wing

 

[BossleyPanther]

Do you guys think we still have $700k left in salary cap?

If we are looking at discards then Naden>Staines.

 

[BossleyPanther]

But he is a liability, his defence is woeful and makes dumb decisions.

 

[Iamback]

Not at this moment. Taylan needs to be taken off our books 1st. I'd guess $300k

That's a hard one.

Really ? So not much money for a prop

Any discard we get will be similar or they'd be starting elsewhere

 

[Iamback]

We used our prop money on Papalli.

Props will be

Leota
Smith
Henry
Sorro or Martin

Eiso replaced with a similar level prop

 

[soc123_au]

I really like Naden, but I like him more when he is playing somewhere else, he is fun to watch, but like a wish version of Jordan Rapana.

I've always liked Royce Hunt, he is so down in the pecking order at the sharks, I'd love to see him here

 

[age.s]

Nadens defense is awful. Fun player with the ball though.

 

[WestyLife]

Was it at Lock?
I didn't see the game but I did notice he started there on the line-up.

Looks like I don't really remember.

Disagree. Naden is barely nsw cup standard now. He can technically play centre and wing but would lose us games Single handedly

If losing Crichton costs us 6 points a game, having Naden will cost us another 12.

 

[MrBlack]

Yep and why we should go for Averillo or more expensively Burton.
Burton can play 6 Cole to Centre

Burton wants to come back to Penrith, and apparently he is not the only one.

Its mail I have from an ok source
