Rumoured & Confirmed Signings - Part 5

[BossleyPanther]

We are going to need more attack then Kenny can offer imo

If we want to evolve 100%. Next season we going to see what Ivan is made of to be honest. I love Kenny's heart, but Sommerton will get taken up by other clubs if he doesn't make the 17, reminds me of Egan.

 

[WestyLife]

With Nathan's issues we need rock solid backups who don't get hurt

That's true it doesn't change that he was taken out rather than just fell apart.

 

[Pomoz]

Soni Luke should go. ESL would be a good fit.

It was a shocker. I hope he got a big suspension.

 

[age.s]

Tanah Boyd would be an outstanding depth/backup half. Probably going to draw a club looking for a starter/paying more though.

 

[The yak]

Lachlan Ilias is another Half looking for a deal.

 

[Kilkenny]

I guess other than our recruit ent and retention brains trust no one really knows how much money we have to play with going into 2025.

It would appear there is going to be some movement, fringe players leaving so either we fill from within or there may be a few low key additions to bolster our squad.

From my perspective we do look at least one quality front rower short with JFH leaving and Moses Leota not having a great season Thus far.

Need to try and get bunty afoa, before eels lock him up, he is a good bench prop, would give us punch in the mid game shuffle... Smith and Leota to start, Afoa and Henry off the bench

I don’t know who the answer is but certainly there will be a fringe front rower out there looking for an opportunity. We just need to find the right one.

Williem Grieg from parra, looks like he could do a job at cut price, bit if we need experience, bunty is the only one is see with viggor, he has that Martin Lang straight running approach

Chins runs harder than Gregg

 

[Blade23]

I hope Sommerton isn't one to go.
What's happening with Alamoti? I thought he signed beyond this season, but looked on zero tackle and it shows he is only contracted till end of this season.

Sommerton is staying.

Alamoti agreed to terms for a further year months ago. After May's departure they have been looking to extend him further than that. If they don’t get it done soon they will look at it again after the finals.

 

[Blade23]

The club is still after a decent prop. 2026 is more likely the target.
Might pick up a cheapie for 2025 for extra depth.

Would love Leo Thompson.

Sounds like smart roster management

 

[Red&BlackBear]

Would love Leo Thompson.

Off contract at the end of 2025. Available for 2026. Can talk to clubs from November 1st this year.

A few might have already been resigned recently. Unsure how recently updated this list is.

Few names Panthers would definitely work with and turn those individuals dials up a notch.

Hazelton, Moale, Thompson, Willison, Neame, Guler, Kaufusi.

Neame, Thompson & Kaufusi for slightly more experienced and know what you’ll get.

Hazelton, Moale & Willison for still very raw and high potential ceiling.
