Bizza is on the way out when his contract ends, they can't afford him. Probably off to PNG.
There's another McClean brother floating around.
Wonder what the Penrith backline in 2 years or so will look.

The way that club produces quality players is amazing. Their average players are produced into competent first graders. That is where we need to be.
Rubbish
McIntyre, Tatola, TeMaire, Addo Carr, Paseka, Kautoga, Ray Stone…
are just a few I can think of in the bat of an eyelid that would improve our team not just then, but even still now

I'd be looking at Jacob Preston, J'maine Hopgood, Ryan and Toby Couchman
All are off contract at the end of 2027

TeMaire, Tatola, Paseka, Stone never played first grade. All juniors.
Kautoga played one game here, was bog average and he is still bog average.
McIntyre had a crap stint with the Titans after us and is a fringe first grader bordering on bog average
Addo Carr played here more than 10 years ago
As I stated, we haven't lost anyone in the last 10 years that have improved significantly when they left us, except for some juniors but every team loses gun juniors to other teams.

At the time was anyone screaming from the roof about losing these guys (except maybe addo Carr who didn’t wait to see our offer because the CEO was away and Melb was attractive)
Plenty come and go prior to realising their own ceiling and it’s just not the club wanting them it’s the player wanting to stay rather than go to greener pastures.
Could we have done better maybe.

Ever heard of Josh Addo Carr? Tedesco? Moses? Papenhuyzen?
LOL what a blinkered and incorrect view. Funny how you set a 10 year parameter as well. There’s heaps of guys still playing good footy at other clubs who once worked for us.
We are actually one of the worst and a well known punchline for these stuff ups amongst the RL community.

Katoa a possible out ( MCL) & Isaako.
Is that your opinion/hope or....

I saw Isaako get injured on the last play….. do you know the injury ? Could be a couple of big outs there …suspect they will still be heavy favourites 😂

Dislocated finger I think. Should be okay.
So, let me get this straight…
- going on to have long first grade careers, playing finals - winning grand finals at other clubs isn’t
‘improving since they left us’?
Sweet - let’s run with that.
Didn’t mention we lost Terrell to the chooks the first time out, sure - we can blame that on covid though
- still, he was here and we didn’t see enough in him to keep him around.
We didn’t lose some gun juniors
- we lost all of them.
Some after we botched their development.
I’m not here to argue with you because you’ve got nothing better to do
- there’s nothing you can say that justifies our trajectory for the last 15 years.
Maybe some of us have paid a little more attention than you might have - we’ll just put it down to that.

Thanks for confirming my statement that we haven't lost any players that have taken a major leap once leaving the Tigers in the last 10 years outside of unproven juniors. Teddy, Moses left 10 years ago.

No they didn’t. They went during and at the end of 2017.
18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26….less than 10 years.
It’s a dumb statement you made. Even Brooks, Papali’i and Steph should be on this list.

Bigger faster and more skilful.
Class is permanent - has always had time with the ball. He was the reason we all thought Lamar had a future in the game - playing outside TeMaire.
People raving about getting Madden back, I was hoping to the heavens we’d get T. Best back up half going for mine…
Has less than zero clue - says players don’t get better after leaving… you give him a list of some that do and he changes direction.
Aloiai, Liddle, Suli, Matterson, Walters - also worthy of a mention.
played better footy after leaving here and were better than the nuffies we had here in their place.
