Rumoured & Confirmed Signings - Part 5

[MrBlack]

Has Talagi;s brother signed?

I'd say it was contingent on Baize signing first. Now that that is confirmed the brother will probably be announced after his 10 day cooling off period.

Makes sense for.him to move on. He is 3rd string at Penrith
Laurie will demand a top 17 spot. Unsure where he plays.
How do people rate J.Mclean against Casey?
I don't see Casey being dropped next year after another off season. I reckon losing May was a blessing in disguise. It enabled Talagi coming and he can play more positions.

Edwards
Too
Tago
C.Mclean
Laurie/Alamoti/J.Mclean
Blaize / Cole
Cleary

Jesse's got first grade talent, pretty much everyone thinks Casey is an absolute freak as in can be one of the best outside backs in the world. I'd like to see Jesse run a bit harder into the line sometimes but they have pretty high standards for that sort of thing at Penrith to compare to in the backs, it's not like he's really soft or anything.

If Jesse gets the best out of himself he should be starting first grader who plays like 150-200 games or something like that. If Casey does he'll play rep football.

I think it's logical to expect a 19 year old to in general improve as he gets older. Guessing because he's been playing everywhere his pre season wasn't training in one position. You generally play better in a position the more you train there with the same players. I personally wouldn't judge a literal teenager like he's the finished product and isn't still raw but that's just me.
