Thanks ku5tom for the Garner highlights - awesome front-on defender and solid metres. Looks like a second rower to me rather than a centre - the speed of the NRL generally as well as the speed and footwork of some of the centres he is likely to come up against in first grade might make a centre spot too tough. From what I saw in those highlights I hope we have got him signed up for a few years to come.

Well we should have signed him 5 years ago then.
He reminds me of Dugan lately can find a way to the Rehab very easy.

I think he is 22.
We have some real talent coming through with the likes of Marsters, Felise, Twal, Gibbs, Aloiai, D Smith, Garner, McIntire, Liddle, Mikaele and Gamble.
Great times ahead!

Please don’t tell me you’re Smoking Gun by another name - does this one actually have a chance of being real??!!

Nah, he actually has a bit of credibility.
Not that we need inside info for this though, It’s been obvious since Nathan ceased negotiations with the Panthers.

I wonder what the chances are of him getting an early release
@ said:
When is he actually off contract end of 2019?
@ said:
Zero.
That’s the biggest risk factor with this one. Because he wouldn’t be able to sign with anyone but Penrith until the end of this year, there’s always that chance that he decides to change his mind. You can imagine Penrith would be doing everything they can to hang on to him.
That’s why I say extremely likely rather than 100%. We’ve all seen how quickly things can change in the NRL. Having said that, it’s no reason not be optimistic. From all accounts, if he was off contract this year he would be all but signed 😀
@ said:
His first post was about Tedesco signing with the Roosters and I called him out on it but it turned out he was correct. That was some time before the Roosters rumours started surfacing strongly in the media/elsewhere too if I recall correctly. So he has some runs on the board.

Is it safe to assume Nathan would have a clause in his contract regarding his dad?
@ said:
It has been publicly stated previously that he has no such clause in his current contract.
Edit: Well at least it has been reported - https://www.smh.com.au/sport/nrl/nathan-cleary-opts-against-reactivating-fatherson-getout-clause-at-penrith-panthers-20160625-gprrb5.html

Baze has had some solid mail in the past. Nathan Cleary spells the end of Brooks as far as I can tell.
