Killeen only played for the Tigers

He played 187 games at St Helens and 8 games at Penrith - thx Wikipedia

Do we think we're footing some of peacheys freight? What do Panthers get from this swap?

Don’t think so mate.

There were reports that peachy went to the NRL and applied for a reduction in contract to return to panthers. (as this is not normally allowed).

Which is a big win for us if true.

Never saw Peachey influence any game for the good as a Tiger - despite high hopes when he joined.
It also turns out that Wests Tigers have been trying to grab Staines since his junior days at Forbes.
Again high hopes.
There's only opportunity here so it's now up to him.

Yep, I'm liking this move. It wasn't touted by the Tiger's management team and despite the rumours, the deal was done and suggests a better relationship betwixt the Bus Driver and our rabble. In fact, the rabble may be rousers now, given that we got him! Ok OK he may not be a world beater but he's still a kid with speed to burn and there's something simmering at the Club. I loved the Benji promo for the membership drive. This has all the hallmarks of Marketing 101 to not only attract members but also player talent. Changing our image as a stodgy dodgy club. Benji brings Energy ( unlike Reynolds who brought arthritis).

In fairness he wasn't the only one last season.

Bob Boland, not borland.

And Dennis Tutty was another.

Slip of the fingers

Haha fair enough.

Probably a light business case presented to the NRL let's be honest 🤣🤣🤣

"So I'd like to request a reduction in my contracted valu--"

"Approved"

That just shows the rise of the pamfers in the NRL heirachy as they are now classified with roosters levels of influence

Careful demps, you'll upset the brooks fan club with a post like that.

It'll be interesting to see if they're like Messi and Ronaldo fans where they blindly follow and support whatever club he joins 🤔 in Brooks fans case I think it's called masochism

 

[Dennisspicer1]

Yep your right, I think he kicked a field goal to beat us by a point…Bob Mara that

My mistake, I stand corrected

Len Killeen, Now there was a guy who was a great goalkicker.

And could punt the ball almost the length of the field.
He also used to kick off like Pat Richards.

Was Len of Sth African heritage?

Yes.
think tigers spotted him playing over there or for south Africa.

I just don’t understand why only a 1 year deal, sounds a bit like we just wanted Peachy off our books so we’ll take Ferrari.

I think the deal has mutual options attached, based around his position. Effectively I think it's a 3 year deal. Or something like that.

As long as they leave their thug attitude behind. That’s not what our club culture is about.

As dislikable as it is, it's working for them

I think Bobby Mara was a captain and Laurie Fagan scored the first try ever for them. Fair bit of influence from the Balmain boys.

 

[Aceshigh]

Kickem between Lenny Killeen also George Piper was another Tiger who went to Penrith

Seems smart on the face of it, unless he absolutely brains it and the Storm come calling 😂

Yes.

My cousin was training with him and talking to him one day at training at LO and I was hoping he would introduce me to him but wasn't meant to be.
One of my biggest regrets in life was when I came to Sydney as a kid Pete would often take me into training sessions and I was amongst all those great players of 1969 but had no idea who they were.
We then moved and I stopped going there. ☹️

How much a bottle? And what shop sells it ?

I think Staines will play fullback, with Laurie at five-eighth, and Doueihi at centre.

Gould has claimed for many years now that Laurie is a long-term five-eighth, not a fullback.

He was the one that initially signed him to Penrith so he’d know his game very well.

AD will spit the dummy he won’t get to play 6/7
