Do we know if we will make a play for Stefano Utoikamanu, i know storm and the dogs have been fighting this one out but do we have any cash to splash.

No to much money

To'o's agent is Sam Ayoub. Hmm.

 

[BossleyPanther]

Val Holms to Penrith maybe...

God no

No-one in the media got Fish leaving early.

Supposedly to the dogs.

Well I feel better about it now. Rumour is bullshit. Im confident he is staying and I usually an pessimistic in these situations.

The club and NRL supposedly asked for clarification from Bizza. So the club hasn’t shopped him around and he says he is staying.

 

[Blade23]

@Blade23 has put this to bed already. Hopefully nothing has changed since then.

Nothing has changed.

I'd rather put To'o at prop than Stephanie

 

[GowersDallyM]

Adrian Purtell to come out of retirement maybe.....

James Hooper is saying it’s a money issue combined with his mates leaving.

I’d be fine with upping his money a bit, but the club should hold pretty firm.

I believe Hooper (for once) wrote a pretty fair article on the matter.


I believe the NRL itself has to come out and ensure that this poaching mid contract by players, and clubs stops. It is crazy.
This means that both CLUBS and PLAYERS should be made to honour their contracts signed.

I've decided not to invest an more emotional energy into these type of things, as I have major surgery (hopefully) happening next week, and frankly this type of thing is low on my list of things to be concerned about.

I've stated it before and I'll say it again. I'll just support whomever runs out in Penrith's colours.

See ya all on the other side.

IF he has his manager shopping him around at this stage of the season I’d be pretty disappointed tbh. All his mates they are talking about live 15 minutes away still just suck it up. Club should play hardball if it’s true.

If To'o was to go and play with mates. Who has the cash? Also NRL won't allow a player to leave just for cash

What about compassionate grounds he wants to play with his Best Man?

Honestly if we were to even consider it I’d be asking for a rep quality player in return. A gun rep player. Not sure tigers/dogs have that to offer.

The way To'o plays by 30 I don't think he will be in the NRL. So I get the want to possibly get more but assuming the $650k figure is true then that is high for a winger. So it isn't like he is on unders.

That said a swap is the only outcome that is suitable but the story is shit

Tigers.
Richo has a war chest

 

[The yak]

Hooper's story starts with IF there is genuine legs in To'o looking around.
So he knows nothing.
