Wests Tigers, Parramatta ready to pounce on uncontracted Robert Jennings
DECEMBER 16, 2018
A member of Laurie Daley’s Emerging Blues squad, Jennings does not have a club for next season and rivals are circling.
Jennings, 22, has agreed to a one-year extension at Souths for 2019 but the contract cannot be registered with the NRL until the Rabbitohs free up room in their jammed salary cap.
It is understood Souths would need to shed between $250,000 to $300,000 to allow Jennings’ contract to be approved.

There is speculation Jennings’ management were hoping to get their client $350,0000 a season, a figure said to be making new coach Wayne Bennett uncomfortable.
Souths would have plenty of cover in the outside backs should Jennings leave through Greg Inglis, Alex Johnston, Campbell Graham, Braidon Burns, Adam Doueihi and new recruit Corey Allan.
Johnston remains restless at the club and still may seek to leave if Inglis reverts to fullback and he is forced on to the wing for next season. That would free up some cap space but Johnston hasn’t yet sought a release, meaning Jennings may be pushed out.
Jennings scored 19 tries in 21 games last season and averaged 132 metres a match.
The Daily Telegraph has been told St George Illawarra were interested in securing Jennings until the club signed Corey Norman.

Parramatta has around $800,000 to spend should they successfully offload Norman and could unite Jennings with his brothers Michael and George.
It is also known new Wests Tigers coach Michael Maguire has a healthy opinion of Jennings.
Jennings could also prove handy at Manly should salary cap space emerge at the club.
Sea Eagles centre Dylan Walker’s future is in doubt as he faces common assault and assault occasioning actual bodily harm charges.
Walker will return to court on Tuesday and his lawyer has indicated he will plead not guilty to the charges.
Even though his future at Souths cannot be guaranteed, Jennings continues to train with the Rabbitohs, who still have two positions available in their top 30 squad for next season.

Just last week, Jennings told The Daily Telegraph that the situation was “tough”.
“Right now, I’m not signed for next season, no. I was looking to stay at South Sydney but they’ve got some cap issues so I’m just waiting to see if something can get sorted out,” Jennings said.
“Things have been pretty stressful but I’m just trying to keep my head up and focus on getting my body right for next year, wherever I’m playing.”
Jennings has expressed a strong desire to stay at Souths and be coached by Bennett.

Since when is Super Coach Fantasy recruiting for the Wests Tigers.
Id rather come to the realisation we are recruiting no one than start believing that a fantasy app knows more than us.

Hearing of a release would be a good thing for mine, being at least one pre Maguire player, else we have a reasonably stale squad for an incoming coach and particularly so if none of the promoted youngsters can take a good step. I hope that per his recent statement, Benji and Robbie will be worth the positions that the traitor has them again taking up in the squad.

if the R Jennings chatter has any substance it might mean that Madge has reservations about C Thompson moving forward .
in time it's probably be the same for a few other IC signings as Madge makes the squad his own .
