it’s honestly our best KOE side all year, it’s competitive with every other team in that comp now 😂
Habbo iv never seen this kid play is he the real deal or just another junior were hitching our wagon to because we're so desperate for a way up the ladder. Why gives you the confidence Haywood isn't just another junior being pumped up. Iv heard heaps of people say he is the future hooker. Adele on the pod really rates him. But we've heard all this before with others.
First it was Liddle, then he was expendable cos we had Simpkin coming through. Then he was expendable cos we had TDS. Now TDS is expendable cos of Haywood. There’s a pattern here. We haven’t developed a quality 9 since Farah.
True, for all the talk of being a development club atm our development sucks, apart from Talyn, who has come through the Macarthur region that we identified and brought through. Last I can remember who kicked on was Tedesco. There's more than likely others iv forgotten but we don't produce much at all at the moment. We generally would get them young and bring them in. No doubt Richo is working on trying to sort it, so it'll take a few years for the results to show. But really he needs to go to HBG and say your a not for profit start dumping money into our junior development, pathways and scouting networks.
Agree champ, we know that TDS can play first grade, we can't say the same yet for Haywood. I would rather go with the known option than the unknown.
Our best juniors seem to come out of nowhere. There wasn’t much fuss around Bula, and dare I say….Galvin before they both debuted. There was a little in the pre season as round 1 approached for Galvin, but that was it. The guys that are talked about for a year or two tend to be the ones who are nothing but hot air.
he’s the real deal, very similar to api. in an ideal world we’d keep all of them, but if tallyn wants a starting spot you can’t blame him and just like losing galvin, it doesn’t hurt as much because we are lucky to have quality back ups in 6 and 9 . other positions not so much.
The choice as per Da Silva's manager is either Koroisau or TDS, not both. Haywood has re-signed until end of 28. Here is the article and this comment below reads like a the rejection of which will result.

What makes you say Haywood is the one? Genuinely curious.
Retaining 18 and 19 year olds should be a lay up for clubs. 99% of players at those ages will usually re-sign. It’s the contract after that they are more likely to change clubs. For us these days, re-signing these kids is a struggle. That ain’t good.
People scoff at this.
I’m one of those who scoffs. But not because he will have been in jail. He will have paid his debt, so good luck to him. I’d just like to think we could do better than sign a guy who’s been in jail for 6 or 7 years. Are there are no current first graders we could atttract?
Are Penrith a good, well run club?
It's a struggling clubs issue.
There may be.
