Rumoured & Confirmed Signings - Part 5

[Frankus]

Doesn't mean Ivan will trust him.

I'd suggest how he's used tonight will go a long way to explaining how Ivan sees him. He could potentially come on to replace Cole fairly early in the match but there'll be none of that when Nath/Luai are back in the saddle.

How can he trust him if he doesn't give him an opportunity to prove himself there? Otherwise agree with you.

Fills me with such joy that Charlie Staines got a ring instead of May.

 

[Girds89]

Maybe if his headgear weighs 5kg. Otherwise no chance he is heavier more than Laurie.

Theres deadset nothing of laurie mate. Keary is small too. Hes defended there his whole career tho..

Not as easy as well keary can do it daine can.. he will need aome work there in the off season

What a morning to wake up too.

Its not just about daine tho.. he has to pick the best 17 that will work together.

I dont really think daine and luai are a good combo but is be happy for it to be given a go. Maybe not tonight against the broncs tho

Taylan May gone! Good riddance.

I wonder if he will end up at the Roosters with his brother.

Was my first thought too.

Anyone here still think the club handled this poorly?

Could be worse though.

I'm surprised they got it done this quickly tbh. Thought it would drag out into the off-season which would have sucked.

It's on Ivan and his weird love for the family. We won't know the real impact on team moral for a while. I think it's obviously effecting at least Tago

 

[Fangs]

Keary is 80kg dripping wet in a towel. He handles it well enough.

Sam Walker too. Looks like he has been doing the 40 hour famine every week of his life.

Roosters have two smaller targets of either side of the field. I could never be that confident in their defence.

 

[Sime_11]

gotta hand it to the club - all deals with players coming or going - its just swiftly done - no BS fanfare like Romey deal last year - just gets done and we move on

thanks for your time at Penrith Taylan - but bring on the next player

Apart from signing him earlier this year to start with they seem to have done it pretty well. No club is going to perfect management wise, but we do pretty well for the most part. Fletcher comes across as a mong whenever he speaks to the media, but he's obviously a very good operator.

 

[snickers007]

It's reads like he's walking without compensation. I'd say he was on 500Kish

Being reported that he walked away after reaching a confidential agreement.

Will be interesting to see how this impacts our salary cap going forward. You would hope that the Panthers have been in discussion with the NRL prior to making any decisions.

We'll see from this point how good he is. Systems and pathways have been put in place but we also got VERY lucky with the group of juniors that came through at the same time.
I also believe players like Critter and Burton shouldn't have ever been let go. They both shit on May and Tago but we pulled the trigger and backed the wrong 2 players in this instance 100%

As an aging ex Foster Carer its not unusual to experience Families in the neighborhood taking other kids under their wing , if they feel there are circumstances within his/her home they need to get away from.

Not saying Ivan did this , but he might have seen the players potential and gave his maturity and guidance for the May trio.

Wonder if they waited till after 30 June for some reason. Don’t think Easts would want him to much downside why take a chance when you can usually sign anybody who comes on market. Lomax would look good in tri colour.

IF he (Taylan) is found guilty of DV as alleged, no NRL club will touch him.

I'd say there is a payout of some sort. Hopefully it includes a non disclosure agreement, where May has to keep his mouth closed about the Panthers.
