Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

He played Ron Massey when fit. Towards end of the season after a few injuries and promotions he played wing in Flegg. Was ok. Scored a few in the corners. But he's essentially a fringe flegg player. Small and zippy but too weak to play against men.

Craig baffles me tbh.

In 2023 I watched him play schoolboys and absolutely brain it. Then he played in the Koori Knock-out as a high schooler and looked like bloody Dylan Edwards playing fullback.

Something went wrong upstairs during the 23/24 preseason. Instead of developing on the curve he should have he regressed. I did see something of a recovery by the end of the year but yeah not to a degree where I could say he was even close to NSW cup much less first grade.

But there is a player in there somewhere. Just not sure he thinks there is.

The Panthers have announced the signings of Warriors pair Kalani Going and Tom Ale, with both joining Ivan Cleary’s squad ahead of the 2026 season.

Going and Ale will slot straight into Penrith’s top 30 on one-year deals, with both having played NRL for the New Zealand side.

Signing bonus to be one of the first players to sign on to this bogus shit would be astronomical!

It wasn't the inflation in Superleague or ARL annual contracts that made Ian Roberts - Jarrod McCracken etc set for life during the SL-ARL war...

It was the massive signing bonuses to those who played their cards well!

Saudi billionaire could be 3 million a year

Money is no problem

Those bloody oil barons I can just see one of them on opening night.

I have a second cousin who's friends with a brothers sister who told me that it's all a big conspiracy and that Luai intentionally doesnt try for the tigers because he's sick of winning premierships

This is on brand for this forum mate.

Papi taking a “career break” checkmates PVL and his tough guy talk about giving out 10 year bans. He’s now a free man. Didn’t break any contract, and if he by some chance gets an offer from 360? Why the hell not? He might not be the last player we hear stating they need a “break”.

To be fair he has half a year break every year the way he gets injured all the time. Think it's the best thing for the Storm to cut ties. For the money he is on and he does not deliver even close in return

I am off to Cape Town on Tuesday, to do a safari, then a cruise back to Singapore then home .
Hope I come home to a couple of nice signings

Enjoy and watch out for the rubber necklace.

I like the fact that he is honest called it early so the storm can make plans

Yeah, I thought he was pretty below par by his usual standards. Only played one absolute blinder. It was against someone, but can’t remember who. Think Melbourne won 64-0. Gonna have to Google it 🤔

Loved watching Ryan Pap play - sorry to see him go. Few players have the individual brilliance that just makes you hope they are going to do something when they play.

Could have done with him here this year and should have worked something out if that is the case.

the Papenhousin has me intrigued .
Melb convinced him to mentally retire /brake his contract
Gibber in the office said he is free to play 4 any club as of next year.
Hope we learn to pass on our fading like that
we could do with a PT coach , dont think he will play again

if paps just walks away from league e is not breaking a nrl contract he can go for the r360 dollars and vlandys cant issue a ban on him returning as at present he is not an nrl player. Smart move

Melbourne also has a hand in this as they released him. A cellar dwelling club might not be so accommodating.
Wonder if we will see players waiting until the end of a contract now to re sign instead of years earlier
