Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

[jrtiger]

Penrith have set up a sustainable pipeline. they'll keep the crucial pieces in Cleary, JFH, Luai and Yeo happy, the rest are expendable, just simply because they won't be able to keep them if they're forced to pay market value. the way they've set up their pathways ensures the best young kids have learnt the structures and the systems and they walk in and set it alight.

look at Tago and May, that's no coincidence. Turuva will be the same when he finally gets his chance. if Martin goes to market Penrith won't be able to compete with some of the offers he's going to get thrown at him, but they'll replace him very easily. Crichton I'd say will look for fullback money in the next couple of years and become the Folau clone he was destined to be, and To'o is in for a payday when November comes around, regardless of whether he stays or goes.

Read on DT that Liam Martin has rejected a new Panthers contract and wants a better offer. Great player. Rather him than Angus to be fair. He never goes in and out of games. Just goes hard the whole game

Angus has a better head.

Bulldogs have got Reed Mahoney and Viliame Kikau for 2023.

Fair enough, just went off the NRL website without engaging brain. They were both signed before Papali'i and Koroisau, I believe - I wonder if their fans are saying "what have you done for me lately" re recruitment...

For sure though I think they would just be wanting Barrett out more than anything else right now.

He certainly has a lot of energy both in defence and attack. Like Angus Crichton can play 2nd row and mid. I would be happy with either. Both around a similar age. When Crichton is on he has the ability to turn a game. Martin is probably more consistent. Both are quality.

Geez I'd be throwing coin at this kid as our future fb.
Broncs 500k x 4yrs.
I'd go 650k w bonuses for rep footy etc.
Kid has looked good the last 2 yrs in a shit side

650k for a rookie who hasn't even played a full season surely not lol

It was all around the same time in late November last year. I imagine top of the list for their fans at the moment is a new coach...

Was at Coffs the other day.
Very chill area.

Prob stop there again on the way home.

Stop into Port Macquarie. Its more chill 😉

Only way I would entertain that would be based on incentives.
Otherwise no thanks especially given he hasn't been tested at NRL level in the fullback position.

Worth it.
Watch him play. Broncos don't want to let him go and will prob up their figure.

 

[Newtown]

Liam Martin set to reject a contract extension with the panthers

There you go Wests tigers. Get off your comfortable tails and do your job as soon as possible.

That’s two they need to go hard at. Liam and Angus.

Were not THAT desperate...yet..

He is a gun isn't he.

Fringeys? Good young players with progression blocked by good players. It seems to be a sensible and sustainable solution.

Trouble is these young players do nothing without hardened winners to mentor them. Surely you see that.

 

[earl]

He is real good. The thing is there are only so many players that have the athletic ability to be a top tier player. That is why that kid is worth good money.

He could bomb out as well.

 

[BAGNF05]

Angus Crichton agreed to terms with the rorters and the deal wasn’t signed because they cannot lodge it with the NRL, it would put them over the cap for next year,”
How are they entertaining the idea of signing Munster when players like The Inflictor and Suaali are off contract.
They have to consider other players like Kearey and Sam Walker too.
It's going to interesting watching how the sombreros handle this episode of contract merry-go-round with a few of their big stars either leaving or retiring.
Could Radley or Suaali be on our radar.
I certainly would offer Crichton a contract though.
.

Nek minute. All re-signed.

Out and out superstar. Will be worth 900 within 2 yrs.

I'd hate to be a Broncos fan if they managed to lose Cobbo after already losing Fifita and Coates
