Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

Say what you will about brooks , but from my memory I remember 1 clear try where he missed I think it was Kikau or some monster 1 on 1.

I think that was Liam Martin. Close to the line he missed him 1 on 1.

The reason I remember is that it was so unusual - he misses so few you tend to remember.

Yea it was him you’re right . He killed us that game . I guess I misremembered . I thought it was memorable because it was him getting run over by a monster , but it was just Liam Martin . Still , the point remains , Brooks = defensively really sound ; 2020 Marshall =huge liability, that will probably lead to him not getting a contract .

People wanting to sign smith or Dwz, what is wrong with you. For one you can't sign players and then trade them, this isn't the NBA. Also these players have already been offered and rejected by the Storm!

Well written BB.

The reason i remember it was Martins carry on after the try giving Mbye or Brooks a gobfull. Logic says it should have been Brooks but for some reason i think it was Mbye even though Brooks missed the tackle.

Benji still thinks he’s worth 300k? Laughable.

He is not worth half that.Benji continues to delude himself

Brooks 700k
Reynolds 750k
Ash Taylor 1 Mill

I think 300k for Benji is a fair price but he can't be picky at his age and realistically should be taking any offer.

He can’t tackle !! So some of you even realise why we lost our games this year . OoOO cutout ball and no look pass . Meanwhile 4 tries have been scored down the other end . Say what you will about brooks , but from my memory I remember 1 clear try where he missed I think it was Kikau or some monster 1 on 1. I can remember at least 10 tries where benji was the reason and sole reason for the try . I loved him as a player , but this year was diabolical in defence

Marshall wasn't the only non tackler on the right. At least with his history of serious shoulder injuries he has an excuse. What about the I'm not going to trust my centre and come in when not needed leaving your opposing winger unmarked play? If he had better defensive players around him it wouldn't have been such an issue.

Sounds like you would rather keep Benji than Nofo?

Marshall has bee a great for WTs. The Club has made the call and I respect the decision. It doesn't mean I am not saddened with him going.

Nofoaluma has never been in Marshall's class and if another club is prepared to offer him more, I say take it and good luck to him.

Looks like we're getting Cory Allen.
And dogs offered a stack to Burton but Penrith wouldn't release him.

and JAC....or instead of JAC?

I’d take a heavily subsidised DWZ . I don’t think it’s either or in regards to JAC . I think Dwz struggled when it was him and hoppa every 3 games . We have an infinitely superior backline to that dogs one . He would come as a awesome in game backup for 1 , and a very solid winger . It was only this time 2018 when he was considered an elite footballer . He was playing alright in 2019 , he’s just fallen off a cliff this year . I think he’s regretting chasing the coin with the dogs and not taking the lesser 2019 contract with us . To me , he would be smart business . As long as it doesn’t interfere with the JAC signing . A back 3 of DWZ, JAC and Nofa , would be strong as .
And if we are smart that could cost us no more than 1.5 mil .

Good player is Allen. You'd take him if souffs are chipping in.

Think he's more of a centre that can shift to FB when needed. Give JAC a run at FB with Allen as coverage if it doesn't work out. Would allow Dooeeeeee to lock in the 6 position.

In Brooks' defence, he wasn't "run over" as such. Martin ran a nice line into a bit of a hole and Brooks dived across to his left to bring him down. It wasn't an easy tackle.

Talking about being "run over by a monster" I remember Jason Taumalolo making a charge at our line earlier this year and Brooks dropped him on the spot with a beautiful legs tackle. No one else was involved.

The reason i remember it was Martins carry on after the try giving Mbye or Brooks a gobfull.

Yes, I remember that too. It was so arrogant and so unnecessary. Such displays of arrogance and over the top celebrations were a feature of many Penrith players this year. It turned me off them. That plus Ivan's dog act. Those two reasons made me pleased to see them lose the GF.

South don't let good players go for nothing... Something is happening and the info I read about Allan is he is slow.. We don't need another slow back for me

I think it was Brooks on Kikau - tackled him okey but too close to the line to stop him cold.

Pretty sure it was Mbye on Martin.

You were not saying that about Paps.

Papenhuyzen and Marshall are outstanding.

Looks like Brooks to me wearing #6. Check out the following - at the 2 minute mark.

Idk if it’s just me but I do not rate Corey Allan at all, and if we were to sign him I’d very much be questioning this clubs upper hierarchy and would be extremely disappointed

We’re in a position to sign arguably the best winger in the world, the rabbits imo are our biggest threats so we decide to help them out and get Allan off there books so they can have a better chance in pursing JAC....

Allan only looks half decent bc he’s supported by a quality spine in Cody Walker, Adam Reynolds and Damien Cook along with a great backline and decent pack around him.... Doueihi’s a much better version of Allan and even Mbye at 1 would be if you ask me ... wouldn’t waste our time or money with him

Go hard for JAC or at least go down swinging, don’t help out our rivals by purchasing there rubbish it’s just silly

Settle, I think the only ones saying we are signing Allan is on this site?
I assume JAC is still the target unless they already know he’s not coming.

Josh king spoke at my sons u/15s dinner last night. Said he was never the first chosen but always trained hard and worked his way into teams. Played 2nd div u15s and won every game then 1st div next season and never won a game was a year he remembered as helping his drive to achieve.Spoke very well after he was promted with questions. Played some games for knights but I don’t recall seeing him play.
Off contract and there is a record number currently off contract in nrl atm.
Talk ended when someone suggested eels would be a good club to go to and everyone laughed.

Who’s josh king ?

Knights prop. On nrl web but I don’t know how to link sorry

He was a pupil of mine out at singo. Top young man

I'm reluctant to sign any Greyhounds lol

Momo’s not on the west tigers team list, and zero tackle shows him being released? any word on that?

Well technically he is not signed for 2021 at this point so who knows. Pascoe said he’d be back quite a few months ago but anything could’ve happened.
