Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

Turuva is a gun. Centre or Fullback, strong and fast would already have 20+ games of NRL if he wasn't playing for the Panthers, really good pick up if true.
Means we would have signed every backup fullback for the panthers over the last 3 year haha.
Really thought he would have been ear-marked to take Stephen Crichton's spot for '24

 

[KingRobbie]

That would be an enormous signing.

Haven’t seen it reported anywhere though.

You must really hate Simpkin

He’s ok. I’ll give him credit he was a lot better in the Raiders trial. But he’s not gonna be a top 3 Hooker let alone top 5. Top 10 possibly. I wouldn’t personally put Simpkin over Wakeham for a dummy half/utility role, but I’m not in charge of the club so got no idea what Sheens/Benji think of him.

Penrith young gun.

Was fullback for Fiji at the World Cup.

Any moment the roosters fan boys will begin celebrating/furiously justifying Spencer Leinu's signing at under market value. It's good for the game that the talent is so inequitably spread across the league after all.

I'd pull my offer for moses and blow any offer for Leniu out of the water....guy is a gun.

He had a nice dinner with Robbo...sealed the deal.

a nice chianti and some fava beans

Never heard of the kid but just watched his cup highlights looks decent, maybe Ken is going to get med retired.

Turuva, who is currently an NRL Development Player, will be promoted to the top 30 for 2023 and 2024 seasons. He made his first grade debut against the Raiders in Round 21, 2021. He was a standout for Fiji at the 2022 Rugby League World Cup.

Luckily your not on the coaching staff then , I wouldn’t be surprised if he starts and plays the first 20 or so minutes

JWH will be moved on so i don't have a problem with his signing. Its all the other millionaire signings they get for under market value that angers me.

But was it some random who called up or a journalist who made the suggestion? That would add/subtract from the legitimacy of the claim.

I thought they let Stains go to keep Turuva?

Seems unlikely - he is in Penrith top 30 and signed till end of 24
