Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

In fairness, the second half of our season in 2005 was actually built on the back of our defence. From round one we would score enough points to beat / match sides but it was the change of attitude in defence that got us the title.

Our scramble defence was the best I've ever seen that year. We just didn't give up.
 
What's stopping us from throwing an offer to Kikau?
Signed contract but not registered with the NRL because the dogs are trying to clear some space in the cap.

Yeah Gould and Dogs will try to medically retire him.... yet he is fit enough to be selected to play for England in the WC

Sheens will probably sign both Thomo and Bateman to make out misery even worse and even then some people on here would find some way to praise him and not criticize him.I can honestly see him destroying our cap even worse than Ivan did just like he did when he was sacked.
I do hope i am wrong
 
Raid panthers lower grades (Puru brothers, Jenkins, Geyer, Riki).

Probe panthers top graders - Sorenson, Martin have been immense but wouldn’t be prioritised as much as spine players or other forwards (Yeo/Fish). Leniu not as utilised but would walk into our team.

Yeah, people can use the argument why would they leave Penrith when they have all their mates and success. Well, we have opportunities to crack it and not languish in the shadows, we aren’t far away geographically, have state of the art training facilities and friendly faces in Koro, Blore, Naden. Plus we got money to give a lot more than Penrith.

Re-sign Hastings imperative. Re-sign Laurie preferably. No rush for Doueihi.

Agree with everything except I'd switch Laurie and douhi.
 
The squad needs forwards that can create or stop momentum (in defence, not just through being rubbish- we already have those guys) far more than it needs outside backs or indeed halves & fullbacks. Klemmer might not be the player he was, but he does have the ability to create & stop momentum when on the field. If they can add another backrower (Frizzell would be ideal) that can create mismatches wider, I think people sleep on teams like the Tigers. The difference between winning & losing consistantly comes down to the ability to control the flow of the game. Our forwards have not allowed the club to control the flow of a game in years. If Chad Townsend can be an upper echelon halfback behind an elite forward pack, the likes of Hastings & Brooks can be too.

Watched Panthers GF in cup and their belting of the North Devils
Players that stood out Turuva , Hopgood , Soni Luke , Kurt Fells and the fullback
Isaiah Longi
I assume they all especially Luke and Fells locked up by panthers next year but wondering what's the story with their fullback Longi .He will wait a long time behind Dylan Edwards ?

Luke played for us a couple of years ago and was poor. Turuva is the backup for Edwards these days only playing centre to keep him happy with gametime. Don't know anything about longhi, but i imagine he'd go if gets a chance given lack of opportunity to progress.

Turuva is a gun. He will be playing NRL at the Panthers next year wouldn't be surprised if he beats May for the wing spot. Really wish we went hard for him.
 
Turuva looks short on TV...

Don't think he's Olam like.
Not sure about him being a centre , permanently.
