Rumour now being speculated by the tele:
http://www.dailytelegraph.com.au/sport/nrl/penrith-panthers-target-wests-tigers-stars-chris-heighington-and-beau-ryan/story-e6frexnr-1226081017592?from=public_js
THEY had to pull out all the stops to keep Penrith's claws off coach Tim Sheens just two months ago.
Now Wests Tigers officials are bracing for another cat-fight, with the Panthers targeting star duo Chris Heighington and Beau Ryan for a shock switch to the foot of the mountains next year.
The pair are both managed by veteran agent Wayne Beavis, who denied he'd been involved in any discussions with Penrith when we contacted him this week.
But we keep hearing the Panthers are particularly keen on Heighington, who is contracted at Concord for another two years
Second-row is a priority recruitment area for the Panthers, who are preparing for life after Trent Waterhouse.
Beavis did reveal he'd had some chats earlier this year about Heighington's future role at the Tigers, who have placed a huge buying emphasis on youth and the recruitment of superstar Storm back-rower Adam Blair.
Tigers boss Stephen Humphreys confirmed the discussions, but denied there was any green light given for Heighington and Ryan to negotiate elsewhere - as was the case with Andrew Fifita, Bryce Gibbs, Tim Moltzen, Wade McKinnon and Liam Fulton.
"I've heard nothing about Penrith being interested in either of them," Humphreys said.
What is known is the close relationship that Beavis enjoys with new Panthers supremo Phil Gould.
The pair worked together to get ex-Rabbitoh Junio Vai Vai a mid-season lifeline, and don't be surprised if the hard word is put on Heighington and Ryan to follow suit.

In the same article, I found the following funny:
\

ANOTHER chapter has been added to last week's notorious plane ride that delivered Penrith's NSW Cup feeder side, Windsor Wolves, to New Zealand.
First, Arana Taumata was turned around at Auckland airport to answer claims about a stolen prescription pad.
Second, Daine Laurie was sacked after a teammate dobbed him in for drinking on the flight.

dnt take these articles as anthing true. The WTForum is usually the source of the dribble. Jurnos troll these forums for ideas…
Relax _ there would be some major fall out if H is asked to leave.

I reckon there is something in all this.
Will see what unfolds, if they go it wont be the end of the world, I would rather lose Heighnington than a couple of the young stars such as Miller.

News just broke on "nrl gossip" that both chris heighnington and beau ryan have been linked to penrith next year, they both had a year left on their contract but have alledgedly been realeased from them. I will be soo dissapointed in the wests tigers management if infact this is true, chris is soo consistent and has been a great player for many years. There will be alot of scrutiny if infact the club hasnt signed anyone other than adam blair, if so its terrible management soo dissapointing…

I guess I'm just weighing up the fact that while Heighnington is still a very good player he has what 2-3 years left in him?
I believe we could have the next great generation coming through in the Miller, Sironen, Spence etc. I don't want to see them give 10 years service to Parramatta or Souths so we could keep an almost veteran backrower.
