Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

Panthers have a premiership window
I’d say the next 2-3 years,us helping them out in anyway is ridiculous.
I hope nobody signs Mansour and they cop it from the media.
I actually like him as a player and a bloke,very hard done by.had a really good season.
I hope Charlie Staines likes those dirty hitups out of their own half.
As many others have said,let Laurie train another year with a strong squad.its a win win situation for us

Hartigan is so far doing everything right,im sure he will try to tie them up,they may even be in the squad for 2022.

Just common sense, I hope it prevails.

Saw Bj a couple of weeks ago at Blacktown and yes he is looking very fit,Kepaoa I think people are looking at only the mistakes in his game that most rookies have,what impressed me most was not only his speed but his ability to break the line,this guy is going to be a great player

We are looking extremely good with our young talent,but we must give them the incentive. i would much prefer to upgrade a player then play others out of position .Kepoa needs a run in the top grade, its not exactly the most talented backline at the moment though it may come together.

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.

I said it before he has had too many head knocks, plays with his head first.I think the Storm knows this or they would retain him.He could end up like Courdner.

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?

I also heard about a mystery prop next week

No that prop took that long to decide that he had to retire b4 he got the chance to sign his retirement contract with us

Poor bugger is on the dole now

First time i have ever seen BJ look cut
Let's hope that gives him more confidence to trample over his opposition

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?

I think he’ll be good for us next year and if he’s playing good enough he’s gotta be in the team. Hard to know if Roberts will play and Talau could play wing or centre.

Pretty much regardless of contracts and age whoever’s playing the best should be starting and I think it’ll be Joey combining well with Doueihi on that right edge

Physical fitness and pyschological makeup are the difference between an outstanding player and the weakest link. Why do WTs believe they are different to the Raiders, Newcastle or the Roosters?

Covid is not going away. While overseas arrivals continue, the risk of the infection into the community is real. We may not see our families at Christmas and I would not be surprised if a bubble is not being planned for next season. So what will change?

It is something that has been discussed.

Do you reckon it’s going to happen?

It's been reported in the papers for the past few weeks....

But we can only pray we're not that desperate or stupid

He’s living with his family now which is a big difference and his brother seems to be helping him a lot more. The bloke has shown he can be the most destructive centre in the game and showed glimpses of it last season.

With the weight loss and what will hopefully be a better season for him mentally he should do better. If he doesn’t we’ve got plenty of centre options.

I don't think so as it was about 3 weeks ago and hasn't happened yet.

None of what you said made sense. Literally nothing. Like what dyu even mean here?

"Physical fitness and pyschological makeup are the difference between an outstanding player and the weakest link. Why do WTs believe they are different to the Raiders, Newcastle or the Roosters?"
