I can't see any team who would want a broken AD. He has next to no value at all right now.

That's probably closer than what anyone else in here can tell us so lets roll with that for the sake of this conversation.

His deal with Penrith for this year is $780k. Panthers will have already paid $100k of that. I agree it seems frivilous that they'd release him early, but it's also very easy to see now why he has decided his future is elsewhere. If you are a key part of a spine that has delivered 3 straight...

Chammas reporting that Luai didn't report to training today for undisclosed reasons, and that Penrith will waive the 10 day cooling off period meaning a deal will be formally announced in the next couple of days if so. Feels like it is definitely happening. We also have cap space to fit him in...

You are one of the blokes that drove him out of here and you are proud of it? Very strange flex.

Yes, the media didn't really report on it though because he's not top tier talent. The deal with Melbourne for 2025 onwards was the catalyst for the early release in 24 talk and how Olam's name came into play.

I’ve got a bit of a different view on this. Not saying I’m right, but I feel Richo is the reason it is where it is. We had heard the negotiations were taking place for upwards of 3 weeks. Maybe even at a stand still. After his press conference on Tuesday, most of us here would have run through...

Don’t pay attention to MIKSRL This galah doesn’t get any information before the mainstream media outlets, and, haven’t our leaks stopped now?

You are taking the piss, yeah?

Literally just spat my water all over my screen haha

For what it's worth - pretty handy when he locks into gear.

It sounds like due diligence to me. No one is racing to sign with us, but if he is going to leave a team that he's won 3 rings at, he is definitely best advised to explore all of the options that present themselves. I still think for a guy with an ego like Jarome Luai, the allure of creating a...

Agreed. Hate to compare. BUT he has a lot of peak Taumololo about him in his playing style and body shape.

There is no way we should continue to develop a player for the Storm, not ever. I'd be opening up those Olam talks again now it's confirmed.

I will say this. Fonua Pole has more upside than any other forward at our club.

I agree witht this. I think there is some short-sighted comments in here (not meant to offend). With a different halves pairing, Ice will be used differently and I think we will see the guy we actually signed next season.

Paul Crawley reporting (so take that with a huge grain of Himalayan pink rock salt) that the warriors would want: Ice OR Stef in a player swap for AFB. I actually wouldn't give up either of those players for a prop on the wrong side of 30. Others will have differing opinions I am sure, so I...

Aaaaand here we go. We have been used again to inflate a marquee players contract elsewhere haha. I have no doubt he will stay with Penrith

I don't understand why people are freaking out at $550k per season? Shortage of halves with NRL experience, increasing salary cap, over the next 2 years with the cap increasing, that money will look like chumps change. Compared to what we were previously paying a perennial underperformer in the...

Not entirely sure, but if you google paywall remover you will find a load of different recommendations that can be used!
