Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

As much as I hate to admit it… Panthers are a pretty damn good rugby league club. If you can win every senior grade in a season you have to be doing things right - I think I read that its never been done before. Also means that you have incredible depth for years to come. Maybe Gus isn’t the tool many think he is - he certainly turned that place around.

He will turn the Dogs into a powerhouse as well, I can't stand the bloke but give credit where it's due. Gould knows what he's doing. Penrith pathways will slow eventually they will have a good decade then start sliding down the ladder again. We used to pump out juniors under Sheens first time here, over time and with people who don't know what they're doing the production of juniors through the pathways slows, not in terms of numbers but in terms of quality. The one who set it all up is gone, it'll start going backwards eventually.

Im so glad that Melb miraculously just happened to find a spare $4 Mil that they didnt realise they had .. Im sure Melb will make a statement today saying that the rest of the players are taking a pay cut to allow Munster stay at the Storm .. !!

Maybe the NRL auditors need to find that second set of books at Storm HQ again .. !! ;-)

Munster is the perfect example of short term pain for long term gain. By staying for less, he becomes a club legend and guarantees a life in either the Melbourne or national media in life post football. In the long run being a Storm legend as it is with any player it is vastly worth more in the long run financially then switching sides for a few hundred thousand a year for 4 years. Look at Aaron Woods, life after football would have been completely different for him if he stayed a Tiger. In retirement he would have been known as a Wests Tigers legend, now he's just known as a prop. In the long run in terms of career that's worth heaps more in terms of club and media commitments than a Mil over 4 years.

Who is Aaron Woods?

I think he is overrated. Manly finished 5 wins outside of the 8 and he had a much stronger squad than us to back him up. I know they had their issues outside of the players control, but for all his experience and talent, he made no difference. He is not the answer to our prayers.

The massive infighting going on within the squad wouldn't have helped with that.
Putting that aside he is a 53% winning halfback, not much better in the league.

Don't think he is over rated but I didn't actually realise how old he was.
Thought he was 28ish but he would start next year at 34.

No way would pay huge $$$ for DCE at 34+ it would be a retirement contract

Gus had nothing to do with the junior system. Was set up by Matt Cameron, Jimmy Jones, Sam Jones and Ben Harden. Gus brought in Packer to pay the bills
 
It wouldn’t shock me if Tedesco did return after the '24 season. To play under Benji, lead the team for his leadership & professionalism & give back to the MacArthur region where it all began. After achieving so much he might believe it would be a good way to end his career. To achieve a finals birth with the Tigers would be another big achievement and legacy. Depends how Benji could sell it to him. Would be an up side for the club. Maybe but it wouldn’t be a total shock.
