Rumoured & Confirmed Signings - Part 5

[WestyLife]

Henry and Smith playing on the edge has shown they are middles. Patea is a middle. Yeo at some stage will go to middle.

Edges with some skill are what we need. Pearce-Paul is a good shout out

Papali’i and Garner I'm surprisingly comfortable with

 

[Chins get the wins]

When is the new franchise coming?

I've heard 2028 thrown around. That would mean they'd be talking to players sooner

Garner is a good first grader. Cheap and does his job

 

[Westernised Panther]

I also wonder if Tago is carrying an injury he refuses to go get treated medically and is instead using sage and herbs to treat. Someone needs to kick him up the backside.

If this is the case, you would think the club would step in and strongly advise Tago to get proper treatment. Sage and herbs I don’t mind, but if surgery is the answer, the club should take his hand and lead him to the operating table. After all, the club has invested 3/4 of a million on this bloke for the next four years.

Yep and Papali’i openly disliked the tigers after he signed for madge and they sa ked him before he'd played a game. We likely get the better version once the old tiger stink is gone.

Hmm interesting, no wonder the club want to do it now. Thanks for letting me know.

And below that?

Sorro is starting to see injuries hit - Is best suited to the midd
Mav looks not up to NRL standard

Hell even Garner turns 30 next year, You need 4 good edges considering we lose Martin to Origin every year.

So that is the one area will look skinny in next year

Yes the depth is a worry. That's going to have to be covered by whoever is in cup but unfortunately like already mentioned MG 2.0 didn't live up to it which hurt since he was clearly the it guy they were grooming for that job. Martin will have to make 3 back rowers with garner off the bench and then hope not injuries.

I've taken Tago off the list as a potential backrower too.

 

[BossleyPanther]

Another 30 year old next year hmm
Garner
Yeo
Leota
Sorensen 32

Too expensive, too unhinged & too injury prone.

No thanks to all 3.

Would Papali'i be at Panthers now if he was not injured?

 

[Frankus]

Would Papali'i be at Panthers now if he was not injured?

No. It is my understanding we signed him for the 2025 season, not for an immediate release.

 

[WestyLife]

Blade said they thought about bringing him early but his injury stopped that.

Simplest Jack is great viewing but not in our colours please.

He should go to the Raiders, him & Jordy Raps in the same team would be compulsive viewing. Also has family ties to the joint.

That is why I'd only look at signing backrowers to come in. The backs look decent enough especially with another pre season for a few guys

I thought Casey McLean looked the goods on Sunday. He reminds me of a young Stephen Crichton. Similar builds and all.

He should be given Tago’s spot if Tago doesn’t pull himself out of his doldrums.

What speed, something we haven't had in ages.
