Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

I have read that Parra had been keeping an eye on Nofa. With Penisini out for the season, does that increase the chances they take him off our hands? Personally, I would love to see him dig in and regain his form of a few years back, but I won't be holding my breath.

That’s Richard Penisini out for the year, Will’s little brother. He was only 18 so doubt he would’ve been playing much first grade anyway

Wow. Big call, I think he'll be a star in cup once
he gets back to full fitness. Big fast boy, still
young, specialist winger. I can see him getting
a development contract somewhere else if not
with us. Who knows from there, kid can play

Hope so man.

He looks the part.
Good luck to him.

If that were the case, wouldn’t he at least be apart of the extended squad? The track record of our supporter base wanting to give the keys to the castle to these types of players who never even make the grade is long and illustrious.

He played one game for us in 2022 & then blew
out his knee in pre-season missing the whole
year in 2023 is probably why. He has a load of
potential is all I'm saying, nobody is talking
about giving him or anyone else the keys to the
castle haha. I just wouldn't be so quick to write
him off that's all. I'm picking a fully fit Ngutlik
over Casey, Ryan Garner & dare I say it Jay Kirk

He is the best prop since The brick with Eyes

I'm throwing Webke in there. Gees, Brisbane can find a prop....

He's the best prop ever IMO.

Don't remember another prop commanding top shelf halfback money.

He’s a machine that can play 80 mins. In this day and age with the speed of the game, that kind ability is incredible.

Lol too early for drinking.

Speaking of exaggeration, Stef is coming into his 5th year of NRL, so I'm not sure where you're pulling 2nd year syndrome from so I guess your 'point' is not valid.

I watch the games and his stats back up what I saw. He's improved every year, and if he keeps improving he will be a top echelon prop in a couple of years. He was picked for SOO while in a team coming 17th so it looks like I wasn't the only one impressed.

My mistake... Was. Thinking of someone else... Yes he's had 4 years if you include the 3 games in his first season in NRL at parra.

I haven't seen that much improvement in him he needs much much more... And yeh people may have been Impressed that led to origin selection but his performance in the blue jersey was anything but impressive

Now that Laundys all over the dogs, we need to be hitting up Jaycar for sponsorship. Jaycars owner is a Tigers tragic.

Or we just go for Laundy.

 

[innsaneink]

It sounds petty but I like Brayden's lawyers on
the jersey because it matches our teams
colourway. Titans & Canberra's sponsors make
their jerseys look hideous, such an eyesore smh

Do. You

I really feel like I'm listening to someone with a stutter reading your posts the way you format them ... Which I enjoy... But it just makes it bloody difficult

 

[jrtiger]

reckon Laundy would have his knickers in a twist after how we treated his mate Old Man Sheens?

Please take him Parra. He'd fit in perfectly with that germ Moses.

Yeah bro, horrible lol. Have a look at the titans
jersey for 2024, it's a mess. The goal is to sell
merchandise - may as well make it look nice and
streamlined. Laundy hotels looks great on the
bulldogs jerseys I reckon, compliments it well

its penisini's little brother richard, not will penisini

 

[bbobb]

It's Richard Penisini who's out for the season, he's 18 and was unlikely to play much (if any) NRL this season.

Will Penisini is his older brother who's one of Parra's starting centres.

Should be a straight swap for Noffa then - given he is unlikely to play much (if any) NRL this season.😎

Dick Penisini haha. What a name lmao

 

[Vicious]

Please don't take this the wrong way, but why would the signing of another player give Jimmy N a confidence boost?

What if Olam and Jimmy don't like each other? What would happen then?

Simple answer is a lot of the PNG natives are very shy and it can take a lot for them to start feeling comfortable.
Having the biggest star in PNG as his team mate would help alleviate any of those concerns.
An example is Dudley Dotoi recently on our books, but could not settle to life in Sydney and has since returned to Townsville in the Cowboys system,

 

[liltiger]

Is Laundy a Tigers supporter ?

 

[Camel2281]

Brooks didn't engage the line enough and Wakeham not at all.

And to make matters worse last season was Brooks's worst in his 10 for us.

He played 5 good games when it was contract time though

You are welcome to believe that, but you didn't answer my question. What happens if Olam doesnt like Jimmy? Will his confidence tank? I'm genuinely concered about the kid....he sounds fragile.
