This talk of old players is super boring. Can it possibly be discussed elsewhere? Ta

ha ha. You may be rightAD sulks at centre tho.
On field contribution or what we have to pay??Re Staines, happy to give him a go first before I death ride him. All I care about is that he is significantly better than Peachy so all in all a great swap.
Given that Penrith were desperate to offload him given the fact they overpaid him massively after 3 games and that we were the only club willing to eat that contract, we have time on our side.just because he’s able to negotiate with others from November 1st dosent mean he’ll be signing for anywhere else
He’s be waiting to get a feel for the tigers once the season starts before making any decisions
Whichever way you look at it, our squad for 2023 is looking much better than previous years.
The only departing player I will miss is Luke Garner
Unlike Tuilagi and Luce, Garner put in an effort till the end.
Yes. I have not had such hope since we signed packer, matulino & Reynolds. The future is bright.Whichever way you look at it, our squad for 2023 is looking much better than previous years.

There's a reason Penrith are losing players like Burton Kikau Stains Naden Hawerra Neara or deareI don't want to piss on anyones parade, but the reason we were able to get Staines is:
1) Both players were willing to swap clubs
2) Both clubs were willing to swap players
No other club offered Staines anything. Staines was lucky to get a deal given his salary.
Players don't improve significantly in 6 months - watch some Penrith games from this year and you can expect more of the same with our club next year.
I really don't get why people expect players to become better when they sign with us. The bigger and very real risk is they become worse.
Glad it's only a one year deal.
Don’t kid yourself man - Staines went from back up fullback - to 4th string…There's a reason Penrith are losing players like Burton Kikau Stains Naden Hawerra Neara or deare
They can't keep then in the cap. Plus the players don't want to be the best reserve grade side in the NRL:.
I think we got a good one in Stains! And Nappy Sheens will keep him clean!
If clubs have not given permission for players under contract for next year permission to negotiate, then there is obviously illegal tampering going on.
You can talk to them but you can not offer then an official contract i believe. Stupid system and it needs changingCan someone explain to me how given that is prior to November 1, we are negotiating with Lenui but Penrith will not release, Brooks is advising the club he is going to the knights in 2024 and various other moves are afoot.

Laurie Fagan and Dave Bolton also, if I recall correctlyBobby Boland and the wingers Mack and Mara wow that's going back in time im old enough to remember sitting on the hill at LO as a kid watching them
The politics at Penriff is clear = unless you are a Samoan or Cleary then your job is not secure. Edmonds was MOM in GF but shunned by his teammates cos they were on Luai & Cleary side. Stains is a fullback held back by the improvement by Edmonds who BTW didn't make the OZ WC team.Don’t kid yourself man - Staines went from back up fullback - to 4th string…
He’s only 2nd strong with us - at worst
Who is this Edmonds? Any good?The politics at Penriff is clear = unless you are a Samoan or Cleary then your job is not secure.

Yep, the Brooks media (via Manage?) alert is a clear case of tampering with the rules. Brooks ca have a discussion with Knights as much as he likes. But he cannot say that he will be AT the Knights in 2024 cos that implies that he has in fact negotiated a deal for that year or years.You can talk to them but you can not offer then an official contract i believe.

Edwards, Mate I'm 65 with one eye and am drunk most of the time. Give me a brickWho is this Edmonds? Any good?
On field is all I really care about. Let the club look after $, that’s what they do supposedly……On field contribution or what we have to pay??
