Rumours and Stuff

Heard a rumour this morning that Mahoney is going to back flip and stay with us. Sounds a bit BS to me though
maybe he was always planning on staying and this entire three ring circus has been orchestrated by his manager to push the eels into paying maximum dollar for him

Junior will be 30 in 2023 so we'll have had him for the best part of his career.

You gotta move the old fellas along otherwise we lose the young fellas if we don't create spots for them

No too fussed if he goes in 2023

Yeah fu*k Api and his antivaxing, covid protocol rule breaking antics with horrible morals. Another profit seeker ready to exploit The Tigpies. Wouldnt want him anywhere near our club.
Too much? Sorry. Its been an average day.
Api will refuse the jab get released by Penrith.
He'll sign with the Tigers for 2022 and get the jab.

But you don't want to end up like the broncos where you don't have enough experience in the pack

People here really saying 30 is old for a rugby league player? Do people think teams win premierships without veteran leadership and experience? It has never happened.

Yeah but Jnr’s next contract will be for prolly 3 years on marquee front row coin. Are you prepared to pay that ?

He would be 32 at the end of that scenario. There’s no reason you can’t be an elite prop at 30-32 so why not? The likes of Lazarus, Price and Civoniceva dominated at origin level into their mid 30s.
So you say join the price war bewteen the desperate clubs (dolphins, dogs etc) and pay whatever it takes ?

Interestingly he did predict Mahoney was a done deal at the dogs….
Does sam ayoub manage Luke Thompson as well.

Anyway i reckon Kikau at the very least will be shopped around halfway through his contract.

Looking at Gus history at Penrith most big money players get moved on halfway through as Gus has found a new toy and overspends then has cut players who are on big money and the cycle continues.
