Player movements and rumours

Discussion in 'The Cesspit: Rugby League Discussion' started by Julian, Apr 7, 2009.

  1. Magic AJ Parker

    He's still got a bit to prove and develop on, 500k for a forward would still make him one of the higher paid forwards in the game.

    His skill set reminds me most of Sam Burgess though so you could be right if clubs enter a bidding war for him.

    He's the type of player who could develop into an absolute beast.
    You have to take a risk with someone like him at this stage. He could develop into one of the most damaging forwards in the game.
    Then again he might turn out to be another Tony Williams or Dave Taylor.
     
  3. Mr Fourex MR Fourex

    Doesn't have the heart or drive as Burgess. The laziness he showed in failing to recover the ball in the Grevsmuhl try last night, reminds me more of Dave Taylor.....

  5. Paddy P Orr

    Happy. Taumalolo re-signed until 2017.
     
  6. Magic AJ Parker

    Taumalolo, Thurston & Scott all off contract in 2017.

    There's your premiership window.
     
  7. Benny BS Read

    Yep absolutely awta
     
  8. Benny BS Read

    Would not right it off though - especially with the refs on notice for previous Fuck ups in the finals
     
  9. Julian BJ Taylor

    They should win the. On my way! this year. Quite comfortably the best squad in the comp.
     
  10. jazman84 JM Eightyfour

    Reckon they just lack a quality rake. They'll be hoping Granville can come good as I cant see last season's rotation improving at any real degree.
     
  11. Magic AJ Parker

    Oh yeh?
     
  12. Magic AJ Parker

    Looks like the Panthers have signed Trent Merrin.
     
  13. Benny BS Read


    I reckon they need to start with Granville/King initially as both have the most potential upside imo - then if required they can have reliable honest average kostjasyn to replace one if they're shutting the bed.

    Not as though in a team containing Thurston you need to run the show too much. I think the most valuable role a hooker can play for the cows is to ensure that JT does or doesn't get the ball at the right times getting it right isn't simple when the best half in the world is a pass away
     
  14. Sultan Pepper HG Emm

    Pretty happy with Merrin.
     
  15. Hunter AD Hunt

    Stoked. Looking forward to our pack next season with the addition of Merrin along with Segeyaro, Peachey and Cartwright getting a full season starting under their belts.
     
  16. Magic AJ Parker

    Yeh he's a brilliant signing for Penrith. Exactly what they need and large bulk of it will be covered by Manus salary
    salary.

    Interesting to see a signing culture develop though.
     
  17. Julian BJ Taylor

    Yeah I can't believe so many people don't rate Merrin. Fantastic player for mine.
     
  18. Quint Member

  19. Julian BJ Taylor

    He'll flop unless Hayne's there too anyway.
     
  20. Julian BJ Taylor

    what do you fucking know
