Rumoured & Confirmed Signings - Part 5

[Bob]

Ill believe is coming here once i see him in black, would love to have him though.

Had a look on the 1 eyed eels forum, one of their posters said he has signed with us it’s just in the 10 day cooling off period, I’m like you, would love to have him and his brother but will wait for official confirmation

 

[Chins get the wins]

Is he any better than Cole or especially Laurie? Not from what I've seen but Parra isn't a great system

 

[Fangs]

Pre pec injury Tago was fantastic but he's been poor for a long time now

On good coin. His brother can't sleep at night because he can't play alongside him.

Parramatta need experienced, premiership winning outside backs. Its a no brainer.

 

[Bob]

Talagai signing with us is already on SMH, I’ll still wait for the club

Smoke fire maybe. Handy pickup at what I assume would be the right price.

Laurie f**ked again aye. Poor bloke

We are linked to everyone so until it’s official will wait

wait to see what happens - im not convinced on Talagi - very overhyped atm and has far too much to say for someone just breaking into the NRL.

if we lose Bizza for Talagi - Blaise will have to go down as one of Penrith's best ever players (with titles to prove etc) to justify the decision to move Bizza onward. Bizza is so much more than a great winger for us.... i have no issues giving him a payrise because he deserves it and is a clean skin and represents the good values of this club.

Blaize is a skullful player with a high ceiling. I just don't see what he offers that Laurie doesn't, other than a mountain of hype.

 

[Coast panther]

Bizza isn't going anywhere. The clubs not that stupid...
I'll be pretty hyped if blaize signs with us! Him in cleary in the halves next year is going to be entertaining

Could probably slot into a backline spot outside of FB a bit better than Laurie can already and also the potential would be a huge part of it. Has shown some great skill so far already in grade as an 18 year old so I’d back our system to get him to reach that potential.

He'd be pretty small for an outside back in our system. He's a fullback or 6 imo.

Yeah, I would have been happy for him to get first shot. He has been fantastic every time he has taken the field. He loves the joint too.

 

[The Realist]

The clubs not that stupid...

Ummmm letting Critta go then signing Tago on similar coin?

Next year will be interesting to see how what is basically the Fish for Papalii 'swap' will go, but my bet is not so well.

 

[MrBlack]

Will be a great signing if true. He has a huge ceiling and will develop nicely in our system.

 

[mxlegend99]

I have no inside info on Blaize but i would take anything in the media with a grain of salt. They’re just guessing.

Honestly looks like they run with social media rumours as fact. The rumours on social media are rightfully ignored by most. Until the media report it and suddenly the rumour has legs even though its only the same rumour we already saw and shrugged off.

Sometimes they get one right. But I dont see why the club would be going after Blaize when we have Cole, Laurie and Schneider signed for halves.

if its as a centre / back we have Tago, Alamoti, McLean brothers and Bizza. Unless he was coming on a cheap deal to become a star. Which I doubt he would be doing.

Looks bad now. At the time Critta signed with dogs plenty on here were saying he is not worth what he was already on at the time(less than what he left for), had we matched dogs then lost Tago many would've blown up. Unfortunately things shake out that way sometimes, plenty of time for Tago to make it look less bad.

 

[Copperhead]

Not sure what to make of this if it's true. Really feel for Laurie, who couldn't have been more impressive every chance he's been given, will always be cheaper, and has no ego. Guess time will tell. Apparently his brother is part of the deal.

 

[Frankus]

The To'o rumour is worrying. Pay him an extra $100k a year and be done with it. $725k for a winger is phenomenal money.
