From Michael Chammas: "The Panthers are also considering signing Wests Tigers back Paul Momirovski in a deal which would potentially allow fullback Daine Laurie the opportunity to leave immediately and link up with the joint venture club."

But I thought Momirovski was our strike centre.

He played centre for the Roosters when they won the comp,

He only played 2 games and was dropped in the game that counted.

>then he played centre for the Storm when they won the comp

PLayed 6 games.

Ray Cashmere, Matt Jobson, Shannon McDonnell and Ben Reynolds all played in a team that won the comp.


....maybe Penrith know something you don't...

The same guy who would be buying Momo if its true also purchased Josh Reynolds on $900K

He wasn't dropped, he was replacing an injured starter and scored a try in a semi final.

He wasnt dropped? He wasnt injured and he wasnt picked, what would you call it?

He played 6 games at the Storm because he was injured.
Same bloke that bought Reynolds just won the minor premiership.

With the team that Hook built

You can spin it whichever way you like, he's got two premiership rings.

No he doesn't

Here we go again

Only players in the 17 get a ring, Thurston gave his to Steve Price when the Bulldogs won because Price missed the game.

Yes, I was speaking metaphorically but I realise that's not going to get me anywhere in this joint! Apologies chief.

I like Momers but man we have a lot of centres. Joey, Roberts, Momers, Talau, Kei, Hoffman, Cini plus more in juniors. It would be sad to see Momirovski go but the deal makes sense.

He’s behind Jimmy, BJ and Tommy in the centres and we have absolutely no backup for fullback. It’s a big win for us if the deal goes through.

Who ranks him behind those besides you?

Having a slow night? Seems like you've joined the forum just to be a nuisance. Surely there's something on Netflix or YouTube to watch instead

Wait, so where do you rank momo in the depth chart ? I’d say he’d be 4 on the wing , number 4 at centre in the depth charts .
Wing - Nofa , AJ , talau , Momo . Swap with Talau if you want
Centre - Jet , BJ, Talau , Momo. Swap with Talau if you want

id like to know what AJ has done which has everyone in this forum so happy to rate him as our second best winger.

I dont have a problem with him but did people not see him miss 3 passes from benji in the rabbits game last year that wouldve been sure trys? He still has a long way to go.. personally id have momo or talau way above him

He's strong and fast, can score a try in the corner and runs the ball back well. Only issue was his hands but he's had his eyes fixed and that's something that can be taught at training. He's got massive potential imo, it also helps that Talau and Momers aren't really wingers either.

i dont disagree, i just find it funny how everyones got such big wraps on him

I'm a bit the same. Here's hoping though, and they may be right!

Paul Momorovski has as many premiership rings as Wayne Pearce, Paul Sironen and I combined.

I don't think so. Coaches often give their rings away to players so they must be limited on how many they get.

Yeah, they can, the club pays for them after the 17 though. If I was momirovski's situation, I wouldn't feel like a premiership player unless I played in the game or had been heavily involved in the season. Was Ben Reynolds a premiership winning player for us?

![alt text](Stephen Crichton’s contract standoff costs Penrith a pretty penny
Many thought Stephen Crichton was crazy to walk away from a $500K handshake deal, but the move is about to pay off big time.

The NRL’s next millionaire could be made this week with the Penrith Panthers set to table a deal that will make Stephen Crichton rugby league’s richest centre.

Crichton will be offered a $10,000-a-game upgrade to his existing contract as part of a new deal that is expected to be worth $2.25 million over three years.

Hoping to end the contract saga that began with a revelation that “the next big thing” reneged on a $500,000 handshake deal, the Panthers confirmed that a revised contract had been finalised and would be put to Crichton as early as this week.


Stephen Crichton is poised to become the highest paid centre in the game. Picture: Brett Costello
“It has been a bit of a process since the grand final but we are almost there,” Penrith coach Ivan Cleary (inset) said.

“It (managing the roster) has been a challenge for us after a successful year that came as a bit of a surprise, but we are confident that he won’t be going anywhere.”

It is understood the $2.25 million will include a $250,000 upgrade to his current contract which is set to expire at the end of this year.


Penrith coach Ivan Cleary was confident the club would retain Crichton. Picture: Mark Kolbe/Getty Images
The $750,000-a-year deal will leapfrog Crichton over Roosters powerhouse Joey Manu ($700,000) as the NRL’s highest-paid full-time centre in a stunning achievement for a 20-year-old who has played just 26 NRL games.

The Panthers are confident the new deal will be enough to fend off interest from a long line of rival clubs, led by the cashed-up Canterbury-Bankstown Bulldogs.

)

Chuck 800 on the table

And a 4 year deal

Or we could just stay away from him and get ourselves a backrower for the same money ....

Angus will stay at the rorters

Who else is available in the back row that's worth that sought of money?

Lots of them .....none available now

But BJ and Jet are going to make the best centre pairing since Meninga and Rodgers ...why replace them

I'm actually excited about the potential of these two, more than anything else.
That Jet highlights package someone shared (vs Roosters) was sooo very pretty to watch and we already know how good Leilua can be. Hope we can get both back to their best form.
I'm a fan of young Talau and thought his transition to first grade was good so I'm therefore also a fan of putting our money where it's needed.


I have more faith in Jimmy turning it up than BJ. Don’t get me wrong Leilua can be lethal but he has been rocks and diamonds pretty much his entire Rl career and a 6 month strict diet and training plan will not fix that.

Let’s just hope he doesn’t get baited and fall back into bad habits. Because I reckon every opposition team comes with a game plan to niggle him

He will be a lot better than last year but I reckon he will still fall short of some people’s expectations. I hope I’m wrong and he is consistent all year but it’s just a gut feel

Agree I have no faith in BJ at all. More of a liability than an asset. I’m hoping Talau will rise to become a very good centre alongside Roberts.

id like to know what AJ has done which has everyone in this forum so happy to rate him as our second best winger.

I dont have a problem with him but did people not see him miss 3 passes from benji in the rabbits game last year that wouldve been sure trys? He still has a long way to go.. personally id have momo or talau way above him

He's strong and fast, can score a try in the corner and runs the ball back well. Only issue was his hands but he's had his eyes fixed and that's something that can be taught at training. He's got massive potential imo, it also helps that Talau and Momers aren't really wingers either.

i dont disagree, i just find it funny how everyones got such big wraps on him

I'm a bit the same. Here's hoping though, and they may be right!

From Michael Chammas: "The Panthers are also considering signing Wests Tigers back Paul Momirovski in a deal which would potentially allow fullback Daine Laurie the opportunity to leave immediately and link up with the joint venture club."

But I thought Momirovski was our strike centre.

I like Momers but man we have a lot of centres. Joey, Roberts, Momers, Talau, Kei, Hoffman, Cini plus more in juniors. It would be sad to see Momirovski go but the deal makes sense.

He’s behind Jimmy, BJ and Tommy in the centres and we have absolutely no backup for fullback. It’s a big win for us if the deal goes through.

Who ranks him behind those besides you?

Having a slow night? Seems like you've joined the forum just to be a nuisance. Surely there's something on Netflix or YouTube to watch instead

Wait, so where do you rank momo in the depth chart ? I’d say he’d be 4 on the wing , number 4 at centre in the depth charts .
Wing - Nofa , AJ , talau , Momo . Swap with Talau if you want
Centre - Jet , BJ, Talau , Momo. Swap with Talau if you want

I'm sorry if I came across like that but simply disagreeing with someone else's opinion isn't questioning their intellect.
 
I’d be alright with the Momers Laurie switch if it were to happen. We are stacked with centre options we are not stacked with fullback 5/8 options makes sense I don’t know if the turncoat needs more centre’s but whatever.

Assuming Mbye is our kicker
And thats no positive
Who kicks if Mbye is out of the side

And where does Momorovski rank amongst our kickers ?

If fact who can actually kick goals in our team

Until we can find ourselves another kicker, Momorovski is a keeper

![alt text](Stephen Crichton’s contract standoff costs Penrith a pretty penny
Many thought Stephen Crichton was crazy to walk away from a $500K handshake deal, but the move is about to pay off big time.

The NRL’s next millionaire could be made this week with the Penrith Panthers set to table a deal that will make Stephen Crichton rugby league’s richest centre.

Crichton will be offered a $10,000-a-game upgrade to his existing contract as part of a new deal that is expected to be worth $2.25 million over three years.

Hoping to end the contract saga that began with a revelation that “the next big thing” reneged on a $500,000 handshake deal, the Panthers confirmed that a revised contract had been finalised and would be put to Crichton as early as this week.


Stephen Crichton is poised to become the highest paid centre in the game. Picture: Brett Costello
“It has been a bit of a process since the grand final but we are almost there,” Penrith coach Ivan Cleary (inset) said.

“It (managing the roster) has been a challenge for us after a successful year that came as a bit of a surprise, but we are confident that he won’t be going anywhere.”

It is understood the $2.25 million will include a $250,000 upgrade to his current contract which is set to expire at the end of this year.

The $750,000-a-year deal will leapfrog Crichton over Roosters powerhouse Joey Manu ($700,000) as the NRL’s highest-paid full-time centre in a stunning achievement for a 20-year-old who has played just 26 NRL games.

The Panthers are confident the new deal will be enough to fend off interest from a long line of rival clubs, led by the cashed-up Canterbury-Bankstown Bulldogs.

)

Chuck 800 on the table

And a 4 year deal

Or we could just stay away from him and get ourselves a backrower for the same money ....

Angus will stay at the rorters

Who else is available in the back row that's worth that sought of money?

Lots of them .....none available now

But BJ and Jet are going to make the best centre pairing since Meninga and Rodgers ...why replace them

Lol

Would love a great 2nd rower to rotate with LL and Blore though

And Crichton could be our fullback with Laurie five eight so money not wasted

Although he has proven himself as a fullback

I don't believe second row is a priority in the clubs eyes at the present time.

It should be .....you' have to question the club's motive's if it isn't

They are very impressed with Blore and expect him to have a breakout year in 21, there is also a belief that the club hurt Garners form in 2020.

Nothing against Garner ...but how many other club's sides would he make their Top 17

He isn't a starting backrower

The plan is that he won't be, I'm interested to see if there is an improvement in his form if he is moved back to play along side Brooks.

How many years do we give MCK ...Garner ....Seyfarth

Lets do a comparison Roosters : Flanagan from their last game until he signs with Dogs is 12 days from memory

They identify he isn't what they need and is gone

We have seen the MCK's ,Garner aren't what the club needs ...but they are still here 2-3 seasons later

I'm betting a bloke like Liddle wouldn't still be at the Roosters

We aren't thinking like the champions are ...and it blatantly shows

Madge and hartigan have let plenty of dead weight go and will continue to do so.

Who else is available in the back row that's worth that sought of money?

Lots of them .....none available now

But BJ and Jet are going to make the best centre pairing since Meninga and Rodgers ...why replace them

Lol

Would love a great 2nd rower to rotate with LL and Blore though

And Crichton could be our fullback with Laurie five eight so money not wasted

Although he has proven himself as a fullback

I don't believe second row is a priority in the clubs eyes at the present time.

It should be .....you' have to question the club's motive's if it isn't

They are very impressed with Blore and expect him to have a breakout year in 21, there is also a belief that the club hurt Garners form in 2020.

Nothing against Garner ...but how many other club's sides would he make their Top 17

He isn't a starting backrower

The plan is that he won't be, I'm interested to see if there is an improvement in his form if he is moved back to play along side Brooks.

How many years do we give MCK ...Garner ....Seyfarth

Lets do a comparison Roosters : Flanagan from their last game until he signs with Dogs is 12 days from memory

They identify he isn't what they need and is gone

We have seen the MCK's ,Garner aren't what the club needs ...but they are still here 2-3 seasons later

I'm betting a bloke like Liddle wouldn't still be at the Roosters

We aren't thinking like the champions are ...and it blatantly shows

Madge and hartigan have cleared out plenty of dead wood and will continue to do so. No way MCK is kept on after this year same as a few other guys. Plenty of young fellas signed up ready to make their Mark and earn a top 30 spot down the line too. It just takes time

Took the Roosters 12 days is my point ....you work out they aren't keepers and flick them

Look at how quick Melbourne got rid of Brodie Croft

Sounds awful ...but thats what the top clubs do

Croft was at Melbourne for 4 years...:flushed:

When he finally was given his main role of replacing Cronk ....and failed ....gone ...true ??

He played 22 games the year Cronk left and 17 the next...
