Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

[Jedi_Tiger]

sign Luai if we can at either a 6 or a 7
then let fainu take the other halves position
probably Sullivan to 14 or misses out

all Panthers need to do is give Ivan a payrise he can go give some of it to Nathan...

The Jedi has spoken. Great point.

Ability to receive the ball as a second receiver at high speed to either make a line break himself or make the extra man to create an overlap and select the right pass to assist in line breaks or tries.
Basically do what all the other top class fullbacks do.
I’m optimistic he will be where we need him to be by round 1 2024, but I agree with others that we need at least one other player to apply pressure to the fullback spot as not many young players consistently play at their best without solid pressure on their position.

Everyone seems to want the small pocket rocket Walsh / Faalongo type but we potentially have the next GI at fullback in the way he moves across the field. And given the athletic build of his body it’s more GI almost pre storm days.
Kid is worth persisting with.

Manly to target Nathan Brown. Haha
Brooks , Brown , James , Tommy , Woods. All reserve graders , how that for upgrades

Haha yes definitely all below standard except Brooks but they are to replace Boyle, Tualagi, Harper, Fulton and Condon who are all reserve graders tbf

But we are not a one man team. There can only be 1 Benji. Point taken. Its a great start You don't need a name.

It’s actually a very good point. It may not even be in just straight out cash, could be given to him in a form of an investment.
I heard with interest that Nathan bought the family home off Ivan. What really are the chances that Ivan was given a bigger salary than Nathan as coach to begin with. Very likely I say.

Now we talking. Starting to think. We don't know anything.

What about Gus and the Bullcats, they are stock piling panthers

I think travel will stop that. Nightmare of a drive Penrith to Belmore.

Luai offered 2 year contract at Panthers . If I were him. Well. If you were him.... what would you do?

And moneywise for the 2 years its 1.7 ml
$850.000 a season, and weve offered well above the million mark per season and I think 4 or 5 year contract,

Make him get the train to Burwood then jog down Burwood Road to the COE. 🏃‍♂️🏃‍♂️🏃‍♂️

Lee may have to give Samuela a lift to training:

Samuela Fainu committed seven speeding offences and three counts of driving while disqualified or suspended in the short few years he’s spent behind the wheel, Sydney’s Downing Centre District Court was told on Tuesday.

Trifecta ..
Slammed
A Fainu brother
Soon to be a Tigers player

Something tells me we'll be seeing a lot more articles about this family over the next decade.

Hopefully in the Sports section.

If I was offered 400k a year more somewhere else I’d push over my grandmother to sign the papers. He’s won three premierships, time to cash in.

Would you really push her over Y?

 

[Yossarian]

Would you really push her over Y?

It’s hyperbole for impact. All my grandparents are deader than Esan’s NRL prospects.

 

[AmericanHistoryX]

Really. You didn't see the game on the weekend?

 

[AmericanHistoryX]

Love that word - Hyperbole. Thank You Y

Bula is a work in progress for sure but he’s way beyond the promising stage for me
His defensive plays this year show me he’s a smart footballer not just a gifted athlete
International experience, a full off season and hopefully a better performing team in front of him, I’m thinking he’ll lift considerably on what we’ve already seen

Get him with the guru sprint trainer. Bula puts on an extra metre or so in the 100, then he’s a real handful! Speed is invaluable.

Foxsports saying Samuela Fainu signed a 4 million dollar deal. Just taking the piss now 🤣

Haven’t got a spoon in my trophy cabinet… I’m off to the Tigers bro!!

 

[KCtiger]

Well he’s just bought a house directly opposite the Leagues club over the river at Leonay so there is not just money involved.
I’m sure he and his wife have lots of friends in the Penrith region.
A lot of driving to and from Concord.
I’ll take a punt and say he won’t leave the Panthers.

Players like blore still live out in Penrith and come in each day luai could easy do it
