Bit of history repeating, maybe?
Might also be looking at a return to Panthers in future.

I watched Mavrik closely when he played Wests in KOE. Had a weird feeling he could be on our radar - as an attacking threat he was quite difficult to handle, always made metres against us and defence was solid. I am thinking this may be a bit better than what peeps are expecting.
Imagine that. Terrell and Keon. Both origin players who won't get picked because they play for the tigers 😂

Guess that means Hasslett is off the table then.

He's a solid signing. Coming into his best years and Penrith have paid for most of his development. He's completely average but for depth it's the sort of player you hope to get and honestly, the sort of player we usually let go.

I don't hate this, could be a handy first grade back up and fulltime KOE player. I'm guessing Jerome gave Benji the lowdown on him. We also would not have broken the bank, as I'm guessing it's a minimum contract and its one year because he probably wants to follow in his fathers footsteps and hook up with the Perth team in 2027.

Mav was on my watch list as a potential earlier in the year. Pretty sure someone had "int" at the time that he was not a chance as he was about to be tied up in the Penrith system. He has plenty of up side and will push for a spot in FG ahead of Seyfarth/Sukkar.
I would not be surprised to see him on the pine come round 1.
It will all depend on his application over the off season.

He was my pick out of that system. You just don't know with Richo as it is all done in silence.

Samuela Fainu has spoken publicly after criticism of his 'khawd' try celebration, saying it wasn’t meant to offend.
🗯️ “ "The hand gesture I made on Sunday was never intended to hurt or cause harm," Fainu said.
"It's something I've always shared as lighthearted banter with my friends and even my own brothers.
"We've done it in a playful manner for years even over a card game, it's just a part of how we joke around with each other”
"I've got a lot of Arabic friends as I've grown up with them and have embraced their culture, some of my closest mates, even my agent is Lebanese, I love them."

Hopefully we can put this rumour, and the forum's weird fascination with him, to an end.
The bloke belongs in reserve grade.

Any draft is a restraint of trade - and the Terry Hill common law precedent cannot be re-written without consent of EVERY player who aspires to play NRL!
The NBA/NFL/MLB drafts are only viable because of the College ranks serving as their independent pathway system - and players nominating for the draft at their preferred development stages!
Any rugby league draft only serves as a disincentive for NRL clubs invest into player development & local pathways - and the entire development system would be blown up!
The VFL/AFL draft is a symptom of a bottom-feeding nothing sport run by a front office with absolute power - and no other options for kids who want to professionally play that sack of garbage!

He will be our Billy Burns then for next season. Solid experienced backrower who is probably too good for NSW Cup & solid depth for NRL, nothing more.
Anyone who has watched him closely know what his effort areas are like especially kick-chase as that is important for a backrower in today's game and something Benji values highly?

The one year contract is probably a mutual thing. With Perth needing to fill a roster it gives Geyer a chance to maybe showcase his talents and get something bigger than a minimum contract. Didn’t Geyer senior play for the Western Reds??

Better recruiting new blood with something to prove in positions of real need - than getting into a 1-on-1 bidding war with Moses V Moses for Doueihi.
This is how you build a deep consistently competitive squad!
