Rumoured & Confirmed Signings - Part 5

[maple_69]

Replaces Lisati this year/Peachey next year and an outside chance he is our next Garner/Hosko/Sorro/Capewell reclamation success story. Can't be too mad at it.

Given he can play backs and forwards. Might turn into a decent bench player over time

 

[Vic Mackey]

To give you guys a bit of an example, great try setup here from him

Beats Gagai one on one for a try

You can see theres something to work with there

 

[martielang]

Are we sure he’s been picked up as outside back cover? We are pretty light on edge backrowers too.

Either is handy.

I assume he is using the Taylan money but could be taking Lisati's place I guess

The Panthers one doesnt really count. Might aswell be a reserve grade highlight since that is what he was up against on that edge. Thought he beat Peachey at first. But it was Rennings.

Will wait til we see him in our system with our players around him though. Although his first shot could be in an origin depleted side. Dont see him lining up aslong as everyone is available.

Roosters shopping Brandon Smith and willing to chip in to get him off the books. Nothing wrong with Kenny but imagine having Smith at 9 and Kenny as a middle/hooker like Cam Mcguiness off the bench. Kenny could easily play as a running middle for afew mins each half.

I like Smith.

The price wouldn't get us over the line nor his antics. Don't think a lot of players get along with him.

Yeah I agree.. would be an absolute force at 9 though for us. Very good ball runner and would give Cleary even more time. We wouldn't be looking at him at all but i think it would work.

Kenny the utility.

No one should pay more than $400k. I don't see Roosters chipping in half. So they are likely stuck with him

 

[Chins get the wins]

Smith is a lock

 

[WestyLife]

Smith is a walking attitude problem. Had issues at every club no thanks.

Wouldn't fit the culture at Penrith. Don't think he'd cope with the hard training either.

 

[snickers007]

I would have said "hell yes" 2 years ago for him to be Api's replacement. But Kenny fits us perfectly, and I wouldn't trade him for anyone.

Smith is also one of the biggest dopes on the planet. No way would we tear up Taylan May's contract and then go and sign Smith. Just asking for trouble.

He isn't 850k but has to be more than 400k. International forward.

Medical retirement for chronic nosebleeds and career in the media. Sorted.

it’s the Roosters way….

You just need to get Smith to a line not over it.

What good team does he start in?

Most I'd say. What about Melbourne they have Loiero at lock?

Not that being bench is so bad. He is better off playing less than 80 minutes. Grant would probably benefit from less minutes too.

Bench is where I'd have him. 20 mins either side of half time. Hence the $400-$500k price tag.

get him to run and tackle hard and then get him off
