Our significant offer to Sandow that wasn't accepted.

Then we lost an origin player (DT) and replaced him with a good but non rep player (Te'o). All that is money saved.

Plus we have well paid veterans like Crocker and Geddes coming off contract.

Plus letting Farrell go.

We'll get Jennings for 350k a year.
Do you really believe the made up s**t you post ?

Hot tip for BM Slater to Souths and King to Mel, Slater will only cost us 150K

FMD Bunniesman.

Just f**k off.

This rumour was just one started on some South's forum and has picked up steam. Bunniesman heard it on Triple M this morning, where MG said it was absolute BS, and thought "Exclusive"

If Souths offer him $350, Penrith would have to pay $350k.

Then Farrell would be on $150k. So out of the $350k saving, Penrith would have to outlay $150k for Farrell, a guy who WONT play first grade...and then only save $200k.

Anyone that believes that will happen is a dope. A 50/50 deal will not be accepted, particularly when a player is accepted in return that will not be required and eat into the cap.

Triple M reported it. Don't get mad at me when it comes true. And MG is a lightweight. He doesn't know what's going on.

Gus WORLAND reported it, MG refuted it aggressively.

MG is a lightweight?...yeah he is only a big part of the Penrith club...no biggy.

And are in talks ith Crocker to go around again

Plus Inglis on a massive contract
Burgess on a big contract
Luke on a good contract
Te'o will be on at leat 250 IMO


In no way do you guys have enough to get Jennings

Only club who could possibly have enough is maybe tigers

:lol::lol::lol:
No club is paying 540k for Jennings. Nobody is buying Jennings for over 400k. Except that Panthers are doing it already.

We'll see.

But it'll have to be $500k otherwise what is the point? $200k compensation is more than enough.

If they don't get it, then keep him. Otherwise it represents no value.

Pretty freaking simple.

And sorry...but if Tony Williams is getting $550k per year...you don't think Jennings would get more than $400k? bitch please.

No other club is dumb enough to think a centre is worth that much. If they reckon they can get away with just paying 10% of his contract he is going nowhere. He'll be there clogging their cap for 3 more years.

They can't renogiate his contract to pay him what he is worth. The only way he can get paid what he is worth is if he goes elsewhere. They can make 300k. We'll pay him 350k. Everyone is happy.

Are you serious? So the guys with near 2m combined in Benji, Robbie and Blair can afford a marquee signing but we can't? Get your hand off it.

Inglis on 550k under the cap. Burgess on 350. Luke on 400. We are paying our stars much more efficiently than anyone else.

Well no dipstick. We'd have to take back a guy who is overpaid in Farrell on a $150k contract.

f**ktard. Net benefit is $150k which isn't worth it at all.

Only one that would win out of that scenario is Souths...which is where the rumour originated.

God...why do I bother arguing with a complete f**khead whose mother should have done the world a favour and swallowed.

Benji and Robbie are on about $900k as neither wanted to leave,and both have good 3rd party deals,plus Benji has his 9 contract,Blair is about $350k under the cap,which was about $200k more than his Storm deal.
So we have about $1.25K under the cap with those 3,we don't require Jenko any way,as we have Lawrence,Ayshford,Reddy and now Beau knows centre.
Souths got Burgess over here for $150k on his first year,as was proven by customs declaration which Sam blew up about when made public,so getting Jenko is a real chance at $350k a year.
