Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

Didn't Spencer Leniu resign till 24?

Signed at Penrith until end of '23. Can sign him come November 1 and then push for a release I guess.

Gottcha. There are heaps of players in that scenario. I think Curran and Tapine are some.
Lodge is an interesting one. We need a big body who doesn't mind throwing his weight around.

Spencer Leinu would be a brilliant signing. Add him to Stefano, Pole, Twal and that's a top class and young rotation running off Api.

Watching the Roosters and Storm just shows me we clearly lack some aggressive forwards... When it comes to big games they show there true value and we have Musgrave 😩
The clubs needs to look at Klemmer IMO as he is still in twenties and adds exactly what we need..

Leniu is a probability

Possibility…just like anyone unsigned beyond 2023….but his preference is to stay

Spotted at lunch with Robbie, Laurie, Nu Brown and Api. Woolwich Pier hotel.

True?

 

[gallagher]

that is the media calling Leichardt spiritual home
We are one club and should be wests tigers all grades

Matts and ball?

Matts and ball?

I think if u did that you couldn't have two teams

He wouldn't be on much at Panthers.

If Leniu is so great how come he's not playing for Penrith?

Apparently we're one club though

I can see the argument for reserve grade and first grade.

Juniors it works to cover more districts.

Didn’t he turn down storm for two years to stay at Penrith on a 12 month contract? Surely something longer term has been promised

Would be a good get but unlikely

I can see him being a decent chance of leaving Penrith. Whether it is to us or not is another thing. For whatever reason, he has fallen down the pecking order at Penrith this year. Being overlooked even for his bench role in some games. If he wants to consistently get more game time, he would surely consider a move elsewhere.

So we merge every grade until we hit the name balmain. We'll stop there.

One club.

Has played 22 games for them this year and at 21 has played 60 NRL games for the best team in the comp

 

[coivtny]

That should apply all the way down to the youngest reps. I want the young’uns having an attachment to the jersey and the club.

So you're saying we should only have one Harold Matts and one S G Ball? Aren't we better running Balmain and Wests teams in those comps, effectively doubling the players we can have a good look at for Jersey Flegg and then on to the NRL?

I didn't think he clocked up that many games this year. Rarely seems on the field for Penrith. I really rate him and feel he will be better off in Tigers colours! Haha

Plays 25-35mins a game and gets over 100mtrs for his short stints as well. Will be 22 come next year. A very talented young prop. Would LOVE hime next to Stefano.

He is very much the right style of player we should target over Kelmmer & Lodge for the same price or less.

 

[1eyedmel]

To be honest I would go for Jordan McLean before him but we need an experienced prop

Jordan Maclean just resigned with the cows a couple of weeks ago.
