Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

[Kaito]

I think most importantly, the Panthers at the moment have a real affinity with their community. The players are always talking about what it means to represent THEIR communities, I think that means something.

Posters on here who seem to know what they are talking about believe this lot of juniors have a genuine care for the club. The move back to Campbelltown and Leichhardt is a good one.

For sure. Our new crop are tight as. There's a
really good impression out that they want to
stick with one another and want to see success
with one another, that can't be overlooked. I
also think that the club has noticed that and
are doing everything to keep them on board.
We took the Panthers blueprint, and ran with it.
Let's see how that goes in the next few years.
Having said that we must stay active in the player
market as we have with Api, Ice & Co. This year
was a disaster from top down. This team is yet
to play our best football, I've got faith in Benji

Not a super informative rumour but I hear we have landed a big fish for 2025
Can’t get a name out of my man, he’s been sworn to secrecy but I’ll chip away

Wouldn't be able to sign someone until nov 1 if it was for 2025?

Fingers crossed. You just never hear about Brisbane's board, Panthers board, etc etc etc.

💯 Kaito.
Benji can be the best in the business if we stick solid and back him.

Who could south’s release if they signed Keppie? There’s no way they can afford it without someone leaving you’d think

It’s not like he’ll break the bank. Just comes to wether they have roster space. Clubs usually make it work.

 

[AmericanHistoryX]

And the board that believes in him. Not themselves. It helps a little

Not our club.

Maybe the club allowed it or perhaps that’s why it’s in the vault
Also agree it’s hard to spot a real big name
It’s not Manu is all

 

[AmericanHistoryX]

Maybe

Do you reakon you could get the position or his current club?

 

[AmericanHistoryX]

That would be helpful. Thanks KC.

Right on bro. Without hope & faith we're nothing.

I’ve asked both, he knows he’s killing me
Twal for Keppie swap being chased by manly

 

[AmericanHistoryX]

Fingers crossed.

Not mad at this one bit:

South Sydney are circling their first signing since a dramatic late-season collapse, which cost them a finals berth, after registering interest in Manly enforcer Sean Keppie.

2026, but has been given permission to negotiate with other clubs as the Sea Eagles overhaul their roster.

Manly have freed up roster spots by releasing Kelma Tuilagi (Eels) and Kaeo Weekes (Raiders) to accommodate the signings of Luke Brooks, Jaxson Paulo, Tommy Talau and Aitasi James – and won’t stand in Keppie’s way.

Keppie’s management has started talks with the Rabbitohs, who are trying to sneak under the guard of the Wests Tigers.

Many thought Keppie and Tigers cult hero Alex Twal would trade places, but the Rabbitohs have moved swiftly to intervene. Keppie has played 79 games for the Sea Eagles since his debut in 2019.

Whether the Sea Eagles would be willing to contribute some of his salary at the Rabbitohs is a sticking point in negotiations.

The Tigers have been interested in Keppie since giving Twal the green light to negotiate with rivals clubs despite having a year left on his deal, but now face serious competition from Jason Demetriou’s side.

One discard for another

Not Kiraz or Best either
Running out of exciting options

 

[Odessa]

Fingers crossed. You just never hear about Brisbane's board, Panthers board, etc etc etc.

Once or twice with those two but the Rooster's and the men in black

Could it possibly be someone who’s current club has said your free to leave? or maybe even luai

 

[AmericanHistoryX]

Possibly. Yes.
