Finally he may have realised he’s not a centres arsehole?? Only took him 6 seasons to figure it out. What a footballing mind he has.
He tried to stick him in the second roe last year but then we kept losing outside backs.
Still he finds a spot for this fraud on the bench while as usual the young player in the squad gets the bullet. Development club lol.
Being a development club doesn't mean you need to stick teenagers in first grade when there's better options. We already have the youngest squad in the NRL. And Salmon can learn more shit in reserve grade where he will still be the youngest player on the field.

Arthur's loves good attitudes and Evan's hasn't got one.
Do you know that for sure? In all games bar the Canberra game he has actually put in and gone well.
If having a good attitude but dropping the ball and giving away numerous penalties a game (yes I'm looking at terepo and moeroa) is ok then that goes to show how deep in the shit we really are.
With Nathan Brown out only Evans can provide that aggression which is sorely missing.
The other nice guys with good attitudes are not doing it for us.
If Evans doesn't have a good attitude why was he signed? Just another special Pou educated guess...

Those two facts are not mutually exclusive.
Earlier in the week Panthers gave him permission to talk to other clubs so they may have already decided to chip in something if he found a new club.
He'd also have earned 3/5s of his contract amount for this season which is 420k out of 700k. 280k balance. Go half each equals DWZ for 2019 = 140k or even less if we play hard ball.
Not bad.
Would he take Kaysa's spot?

Taka has been a decent part of the squad and would be on a modest contract.
If MJ costs an average to 700k then Taka would of cost half then that. He has had some great games and some poor ones. But he isn't what has determined the clubs success.
Taka on bench is a great utlitly.
If a back goes down we are covered and same goes for a half. And if not he play second row and give Lane or Nikuore a break.
That's why Salmon will make a better utility as he can play all the positions Taka can and also slot in at hooker. Can't carry two of them so Salmon wins out. Plus we have 3 other fwds on the bench. Mau can also play edge if we are caught short

Only took him 6 seasons.......

Maybe he was overruled by the recruitment team. That would make more sense. I mean BA gave a struggler like Taka a 3 year deal last time.

I'm happy to chip in to get you laid. Sounds like you havent in 6 seasons. You need to empty your crum.

Anyone else prepared to throw in a few bucks?

Salmon can play edge?

Takas utility is great cause if not needed as a utlitlity he can play a normal role as a edge forward...

Sorry mate Dallin and his management have asked for a release so Penrith will not be chipping any money in

Really? Penrith's statement is to the effect the Dallin asked for permission to negotiate with other clubs, not that he asked for unconditional release. I don't see how you can conclude that they won't chip in any money. They may, or they may not.

He could if needed. He is nearing 100kgs. Im sure he would know how to run into a hole. However that's why i also stated we have Mau as another option.
Niukore and Lane are 80 minute players

Not all the time, Stefano is a year younger.

The fact is you can see his talent through 70+ televised NRL games. But his attitude isn't something you can judge until you watch him face challenges during pre-season training. He's another of these players who needs solid leaders on the field with him.

Also, you're confusing attitude with aggression. It's possible to have an abundance of both, neither or just one of the two.
