i ask that anyone contributing to this thread isnt speculating on new information. please create a new thread and we can take it from there. it will make it alot easier to manage.

 

[BenjiMagic96]

If we get Jennings and Messam I would be out of this world!

I thought the Messam rumour had been mooted a while ago?

 

[AJ1]

Pat Politoni to Panthers I last heard?

Probably should have a off contract section. Bell, Utai and Lote all off contract however rumoured to be on a 1 year deal

 

[mtd]

thanks, im going to be busy haha.

 

[Bob]

Pretty sure Grant was only on a one year contract. I haven't heard anything about his resigning either

 

[Bob]

I think Politini and spence have both finished their contracts as well..

Good work on the thread though!

 

[mtd]

thanks bob, just sourced the off contract info from http://www.zerotackle.com/nrl/rugby-league/teams/wests-tigers/

hopefully its starting to look a little bit more accurate.

 

[Snodgrass]

Penrith must be real keen on hookers … Kingston, Segeyaro, Politoni ????? ... And I hear Anthony Watts is at a loose end ... He'd look good in brown and white vertical stripes.

Heard this:

@NRLRumourJG
Rumours over in England that Keith Galloway has signed with Hull FC, with Tom Briscoe going to the Wests Tigers

Most likely false.

Link to rumour. I imagine Tigers are one of the 6 clubs.
