Better than Lego: Why Penrith have become the NRL’s super team
The salary cap is a greased pole. Just when a team thinks it has reached the top, it slides back down again. Not Penrith.

Who wants to be a wooden spooner? Can you blame him for wanting to be successful? Kudos to him. We are getting Bevan French.
Surely someone can persuade them to take Naden back and take Nofa as well instead of Staines ?
Put 50k in Ivan’s account as an act of good will.

Wow.
So they swap him for peach then get him back. Did we just get screwed?
We gave him a one-year deal - can't complain if he gets a better offer for next year.
He stated he signed with us with the pilot to play fullback.
We give him one game at fullback, he played very well with his sheer speed injecting himself into our backline and causing the opposition plenty of headaches, but then put him back on the wing.
Peachey should be impeached!!!
Took our money. did nothing and then leaves and plays first grade for Penrith. What a ( fill in the appropriate description )

Makes you wonder if they are preparing for the possibility of Edwards taking a big money offer elsewhere....
He’s much bigger and taller than the Gold Coast winger Aliofana-Khan. Not as quick but somewhere in his vicinity speed wise.
It’s a must to have at least one winger who is exceptionally fast and Staines aside we have nobody who fits that category.

How did we get screwed?
We only signed Staines to 1yr deal which was dumb to start with - he leaves after 1 season it’s on us. Assume Staines to Center at the Panthers if he goes back.
I would do whats needed to grab Turuva said that kid will make it before his debut and he has just started - can cover fullback also for Bula if needed.
Staines hasnt been shown any respect by the Tigers in terms of selection or Contract renewal.
PS - who would pass up the chance to go to the Panthers?
Concerning that Panthers reserve grade is more enticing than our first grade.
I wonder if we could get longi, Jenkins or McLean.
That’s it, I’m putting a boycott on recruiting Penrith players. That includes the hopes I have for recruiting Luai.
Looks like the tigers just need to keep building from within and try and pick the scraps out of the teams where we can.
That said let’s put our focus on our young talented backs like Mason, Karnib, Solo etc. it’s gunna take about 10 years for it to come together but it will be worth it.

We knew what we were buying. Titans are the ones that got screwed, they bought Origin-level Peachey.

Surely the money differential is minimal to non-existant. I can't see him at this stage of his career knocking back an extra 20k. I really hope we up our offer to him or we have some fast outside backs on our radar.

Guess he didn’t fit Fulton’s plans
Jeez it's almost like he got injured and before he came back a better fullback option emerged.

Staines was in the team when he perforated his bowel.
He then returned for a single game in reserves following an extended lay off and was immediately jettisoned into the starting side the following week.
How is that not 'showing respect' in terms of selection?
Additionally, when is it the role of the head coach to 'show respect' with who he selects each week?
Weird take.
