Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

[Tom Shines]

Had a few drinks at the pub and an old mate who does alot of work with sharks juniors got chatting about things and rumours he also said the sharks feel they could win the premiership if they have Joey Manu but just rumours at the moment

Did you tell him ne’s dreaming ? about winning the premiership

 

[Spacecub]

I for one would gladly send Galvin to the Panthers to get To'o. We have Fainu who can easily slot in alongside Luai, Galvin is a talent but he isn't an instant winner like To'o and will probably become a second rower or lock in the future. He may end up leaving anyhow so why not go hard for To'o.

That's the sort of rubbish idea that Lee and pascoe would have dreamt up absolute brain dead idea

 

[ChilledChaos]

Mate of mine who works at Penrith HQ saying Brian To’o is far from a certainty in 2025 for the Panthers! 🔥 Couple of clubs have put feelers out but we are in the box seat because of Luai! Look out for 2025 👀

 

[BlackWhiteGold]

I’d consider it very strongly if you thought Galvin was going to leave. To’o is a winger / front rower.

No way in the world Galvin is asked to leave by the club. For one is his untapped potential but this regime for the club is all about pathways & development. It would be going against what the club is standing for.

However if Galvin asks to leave continously & the relationship becomes untenable, that is the only way. Doubt that happens.

I reckon if John Sutton is not in Bennett's plans, he will be at the Tigers in some capacity! Richo loves him.

I see your logic but don’t think Sutton loves the Tigers so would doubt it happening.

Given the announcement today what's the go with Rueben Porter? Top 30 next year or did I miss that his t & t was for 2 years, this year being year 1?

Add a hardworking pack and we’ll see a lot more wins

Yep. We won't improve without upgrading our pack.

The rumour is there’s been 5-6 release requests.

I doubt it's a thing. We already have 4 first grade wing options: Turuva, Laulilli, Staines and Skelton. Only Turuva is a possibility of playing another position.

I don't think we would have signed Skelton if we had To'o.

that’s massive news. would assume both of them have been locked up for the long term if they’re lining up in FLEGG this week.

how good!!

 

[razor7]

I reckon Staines gets pushed out in favour of our juniors as 2nd string. He tales up too much cap space to be sitting in Cup for most of the season.

On a more pressing note, who are our junior forward prospects? We seem to have loads of backs, but hardly any forwards.

 

[Camel2281]

I think with Turuva and Skelton coming we could use Staines as a centre

I think Turuva will play centre

 

[razor7]

Lualli is a midget with poor hands. Nowhere near an option

 

[Betterdays22]

What’s the issue ? They’re all fringe first grader/ NSW cup quality . Johansson gets an nrl off season , he could be anything . Reminds me of when Eisenhuth came back . Only way more dynamic .
The big ones will come . It’s August relax !!

if you can be anything... dont be Eisenhuth

Im backing the kid, has ticker.

As what, Bra water boy ! Couldn’t endorse that signing.

 

[Camel2281]

Our 'depth' Players are taking up most of the top 30....

We need first graders - Not projects.

None of those named are top 30, and our reserve grade team are last. Need to build that grade as well

Yep. All year the forum has been calling for player axings and the only options have been already axed players.

 

[Betterdays22]

Strong cup team is good for the club. Hold on patiently to those top 30 spots

Have we got any free atm?
