The bigger issue is that we have bud aswell

Yes ..this is true … some times you have to make chicken salad out of chicken you know what though ….

Everything all good bro?

Yeh just been more busy with life recently lol, 6 game losing streak doesn’t help the desire to talk about the club either

What makes you think Richo is paying 750k ??? (I would imagine we will pay some for Bud but not 400k and Broncos would have paid a smaller amount for next year like 50-100k) No one knows 100%

Richo is the very smart operator and it shows in his signings..
We don't seem to overpay anymore like we used to E.g. KPP for 500k is a bargain, T May 650k is another one,

People need to understand all signings are not top-grade ones and I'm confident over the off-season Richo will add more quality players.

it was reported in the media that Souths are paying only $150k this season for Bud … now i don’t know what they will pay next season…. But the leverage is certainly with them and we seem to always get the rough end of the pineapple on these deals… we are soft as

Peter Lang (well connected local Penrith journo) reckons that the Panthers aren't in for AD. basically leaves WT and St Choke. he won't be leaving us for them. you'd think it'll now be down to dollars and cents.

Brandy also said on SEN that Penrith would NOT be at the panthers in 2026 (different to Gus saying it)

If Souths are paying 750 for Dodds then they are copping a bit of a pineapple themselves i reckon

This year I think that was a little win (150k) as he was not playing top grade anyway but now, we have cleaned some dead wood we have more power. I don't think we would have signed Madden if there wasn't something done with Bud. South need halves and Bud fits the bill.

Agree we have been soft but IMO it's changing for the better

Souths signed Jonah Glover how many halves do they need

They are doing everything in their power to offload Lewis Dodd and his 700k Salary. They will need a player like Bud on their books as halves are hard to find and we just took Madden off the market who they were looking at.

Don't care if you hate me, but its time to be brutal in our recruitment. Gauge Bula now regarding his commitment to WTs and if he's cagey, we throw a deal at Campbell and tell Bula he can gobafter his contract is up. I'm happy for WTs to rid itself of Isaac Moses wherever possible. Moses will pull another Galvin gate on WTs when Bula is due for a renewal

Your intelligent and thoughtful, nuanced opinions have no place on here.

Looks a very good young player if we can get him.
Right sided halve too which is a bonus.

Sorry 🤦‍♂️ AD would not be at the panthers
Seniors moment (again)

 

[weststigerman]

Is it as simple as Madden at 7 and Latu back to 13?

Only if things are going badly.

Would love him as a 14. Has a good kicking game and is fast.
