Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

Urge you to go back and watch that last part of the game again. Cogger was playing first receiver and as a result gave Cleary more room to playmake. Prehaps it was because Yeo wasn’t on the field that they needed to adopt that style. But then I ponder, is Cleary a better half playing off the back of another?
Wonder what that might mean for Luai if Penrith go down that path.

Cogger brought two important facets to the game when he came on.
1. Straightened the line and
2. Ran deeper into the line,
both changing the defensive set up of the Broncs. Simple but effective use of a sub.

Interesting that for 2025 the deal should not be officially done until November...

Didn’t penwith give Lauai permission to test the waters?

If it is Luai you would have to think Penrith don’t hold him as a high priority now after Clearys effort in the gf.

Fish you mean?

Yeah .I stuffed that up

It was reported before the GF the Panthers can offer him 800k max - even allowing for letting players like Crichton leave they still have a host of stars to fit under their cap

John Morris sitting in front of me on the train. Looks like he could still pull a guernsey on.

He might have to given our lack of signings

And that makes it even more impossible that it could be him. In the lead up to a grand final, or in days immediately afterwards, he's not going to be worrying about where he's playing in 2025. If he had an agent then there was a minute chance but him representing himself that far in advance, while on boat with his teammates? It's just unfathomable...

It's also impossible after the question of what position would he play is asked. The club is now flush with quality and up and coming half backs and five eights. The only position I can see Luai playing with Wests Tigers is centre.

Failure is failure however you view it.

I've viewed it here since 2012.

If Sheens was still coaching us I’m sure he would!

That would only be after he had tried him at lock for half a season

Not our money. Players realise its a sure fire way to loser ville and can be career suicide. Luai would be best advised to stay at Penrith and keep growing his brand.

I agree with you. Wise move would be staying at Penrith. Just making the point that if someone could guarantee you an extra 2 million dollars for the next four years work without having to relocate you would consider it. Regardless of how horrendously dysfunctional the other work place is.

Did you ask him who we are gunna make the highest paid player is?

I must say it's refreshing not to read Brooks name every three to four comments for a change 😁

For 30 seconds you might but going to work everyday in a dysfunctional workplace wouldn't be in anyone's interest add to that the fact he'd never represent NSW again may also be a factor.

I think he will get a run next season regardless of his performance @ the other mob.

You are correct as some people never let go

Yep. Plus the pressure of being the player on that amount of money (I'm looking at you Moses Mbye and Luke Brooks). It's a bad deal if true. I rate Luai but I reckon even he would admit he isn't worth that much.

Why do you do that ????? 🥺☹️😭🤯

$500K/year extra?
Over the top of Penriths $800K?
Even we aren’t that dumb.
