How do you know we’re not? And whose questions do Benji and Richo have to answer? Yours?
Panthers are 1 of the smartest clubs in the comp & certainly wouldn’t be trading To’o the best winger in the comp for Stef… more realistically I think they would be wanting a half in return. Hypothetically, if Galvin behind the scenes is still saying he doesn’t want to sign an extension would anyone really be opposed to that trade? Would be a smart piece of business IMO & better then letting him leave for nothing in return. Would still be able to run Latu & Luai out for the future 🤷♂️
This isn’t any inside info just putting some pieces together that I think could be happening behind the scenes

Naive if you think penrith wouldn’t be frothing for Stef If they could fit him into the cap. If we are losing stef always, I’d rather give him to penrith to secure the To’a deal.
Naive of you to think we are ‘giving’ him to anyone. Stef is a free agent & can do what he wants. If Penrith really wanted him they would have used the money from JFH leaving - he’s 0 trade bait at all. Panthers hold all the cards, they don’t have to release To’o to anyone - they will do what’s best for them which is more then likely a young gun half to replace Luai since they already got the McLean brothers that can slot into the wings next year.
Perhaps they might sign Stef but ‘frothing’ over him, oh please… they already have luron Patea a young gun front rower they have locked up as the future pack leader of the club to replace Fish

Not everybody knows the knickname of every single player so yeah, some people didn't know that...
They already spent the JFH money on Ice.
Sorry but JFH was on $950k a season… you think they spent anything close to that on Papa??? He has played sh*t here for 2 years & will be on a bargain contract

There was talk Penrith viewed Galvin as a replacement for Luai before Galvin had even laced a boot in first grade. A Galvin and To'o swap I'd be all for!
Yea I agree, win for both sides really. Would just need Fainu to get his hamstring issues right + a good centre & it would be one of the best back lines in the comp IMO
They covered what we were going to pay him which was I think 700k a season

No way we should give up Galvin. Future origin player, club captain (IMO) and one of the few in our current side with a competitive streak. These are the guys you keep to ensure a decent team of 17 can be put on the park next year and beyond.

No way that's happening. Richo mentioned having elite players on the Podcast yesterday. He spoke of Api,Luai and Galvin as being essential to us improving, he's not going to sacrifice Galvin for Too.

Not against getting To'o but he and a bunch of backs won't work without some better piggy littles.
I just can't imagine them letting to,o go you'd punt someone like Garner or Eisenhuth moving on one of your best, is the sort of braindead things we do
Papali'i's deal for 2025 is reportedly $750k. Assuming that's right - and who knows, TBF - that's what he'll cost for next year as that's what he's contractually entitled to, regardless of how he's played the previous two years.

On the BSB, it was floated that the Tigers have Cory Horsborough ? First I have heard
Just the other day it was public that he has been told he can look at his options. Maybe that’s who Richo was being coy about.
