Hi all, heard a pretty loose rumour (friend got told by a friend, who got told by a friend etc.) that Penrith will releases Laurie to us for next season if we agree to take Mansour too. Anyone know if there’s any truth to this?

Kepaoa Has played 5 games lost 4.


Think we could do with some more experience.

Yep, he was the only Tiger player on the field for those 4 games.

But there were 13 on the field for the one they won. Lol

I would rather we wait a year.Why do the panfers a favour so they can secure some of their future young players with mansours money?We dont need a has been like Mansour under any circumstances

No to Mansour. Nothing more needs to be written.

I Can't find a spot this post so I'll put it here.
Weststigers have to go all out to get the services of Brandon Smith, he's tough, crafty and is so much like Grant it's not funny. For a 94kg guy he gets around the field pretty good, around 90m a game as a sub, I'm sure he can suit up for 80min. He has a bigger frame than Liddle and less likely to get injured. He would slip straight into the side without too much fuss and stiffen up the middle. He would complement our spine andpossibly a future captain, what's your thoughts?

NO from me Steve - unless it is as a lock (and he doesn't want to play there)
so it's a NO from him as well.
Always get shouted down but he is not as good a DH as Liddle imo.

Yes, yes and he hasn't played for NZ....big deal.

Pamfers would have to release a 2021 version of Clive Churchill to realistically get you to take an old has been like Mansour.

That scumbag Cleary is the joker of the century!

We get mansour

We take 2 steps back

I read in an article the exact same thing happened when he joined Canberra. His first year there he was unfit and struggled, came back the next year cut a heap of weight and got fit and was dally m centre. He’s such a damaging ball runner, hopefully fixing his weight and mobility fixes his defence too.

When do you say enough? Wouldn't it be preferable to put our long term option in the centre and stick with him?

On his good days 100%, I always thought he was like at 40-60% of what he normally was this year

Unless he has a breakout year 2021 is his last year with us....

Why would we take Mansour. Signing mansour is like when we signed Mbye. If he stays one more year at Panthers it might actually benefit him more then if he comes this year.

Yea i think for the first time ever, almost everyone here is saying no to mansour, even if it means we get laurie at 22,

We quite simply dont have a need for him

Iknow its early days,but looking at the players coming through fills me with optimism.Kei,Tannous,Cini,Fitspatrick and more will be our future in the coming years.Maybe a couple of super stars.

Also puts a spot light on retention tho, alot of those guys are insane tbh, but will we hold on to them in the years coming up?
