Rumours and Stuff

[JokerEel]

Some very good points by Smith:

Stuart Won the Comp After they gave Murray the flick... Made the 3 grand finals in a row...

Barrett & Brennan were offered first Grade gigs. Were not ready when they Signed Hook..

I still dont know why they sacked Cleary, the story was that he was going stale?

Sam Burgess said last night that as a player he'd be throwing furniture 4 weeks out from the Semis.

 

[Glenneel]

Every player bought for the top 30 is bought because they're capable of playing first grade at the time. It's only stupid merkins that write "this is a wenty signing" that believe they are.

Its only the stupid that believe that I think otherwise. But seriously Matagi, Vave and Kane Evans (until now) are only Wenty standard or worse and I believe were desperate signings by BA to fill holes in the roster as he didn't bid or was knocked back on his preferred signings.

If the Panthers have become a joke I'd hate to think what we are then.

The best f**king club in the world!

Or should that be f**king best?

 

[Glenneel]

We are running last and no talk of sacking coach. Panthers tied for 4th and Duke wields the axe.
Difference in standards I guess. Duke tuns a tight ship and wont except mediocrity

Penrith > mediocrity
Parra = mediocrity
There might not be a top quality coach out there willing to accept the Parra coaching job but there are plenty of assistant coaches willing to give it a go. Both Paul Green and Seibold were assistant coaches and I'm sure there are similar well credentialed assistants there for Parra to choose from. About time to sack BA before he lets all our good players go.

 

[Glenneel]

Speculation that they have lost their 7 to play with Dad. Gould stupidly agreed to release his origin half. Why ?

No ffs it must be Griffin at fault, sack him! Gould never at fault of anything.

Dig deep and try to be positive.

 

[Fearless Freeman]

With their NRL side running 5th and the reserve grade side being minor premiers (already) and the U20's doing so very well I can't see Penrith club as being a "joke" (and I'm a Parramatta supporter of some 50 years!)

Sorry devoid of ideas. Why don't you fill out the list? And be ultra positive, you'll need it.

 

[Gazzamatta]

Its started. Past players having their say. Next stage will be current players. The media are already turning the screws on Gus.
The media will milk this for weeks.
Cant believe its Panthers and not Parra for a change.

What? BA didn't bid on his preferred signings? Surely, surely you don't believe that? I'm not a fan of Matagi or Vave but at the time of their signing they were able of playing first grade.

Matagi was signed late in the year as our top 17 prop Wicks decided retire, I suppose BA should have been able to read the future and gone shopping for a prop just in case someone may or may not want to leave!!

Vave was a budget signing to get a “big” body, as you may be aware (probably not) the 2016 season was a total f**k up and our cap was a mess, BA had pretty limited resources to work with along with an unknown cap position. But hey BA should have known and just fixed the cap by himself without a board, CEO, chairman or footy manager!! Additionally Vave was part of a side that made the top 4.

Evans yeah hasn’t been the greatest success yet, but he showed on Saturday his potential - if he continues to play like that, he will be a very valuable top 17 player in our squad!

[Gronk]

Why would Tigers let him go ? Unless they jump on the merry-go-round. Wayne Bennett ?

 

[Stevie]

I think we will let both Moses and Norman go..

2019 will be Moses and Salmon in the halves with 2020 having Brown and Salmon..

French wont be kept either.

So you’re basing our halves in 2020 on two halves that have played 1 actual NRL game between them?
