Yeah it sucks whenever this happens. We are about to announce our 3 big signings Luai, Crichton, Yeo so you guys might have more luck when that is official and Panthers can relax a little.
It’s safe to say that there are a few of us hoping so
I find it weird your club wants more halves that props, its good to have fallback options, but at what cost, cleary being stubborn? Your club is light on genuine props as it is,
All good mate we will leave it at that ok, I could’ve worded my response better but just saying you don’t always have to disagree with everyone all the time, you can agree every now and then lol We are all Dogs fans here, water under the bridge with me bud.
Well we did ask for Napa/Burto swap which would've helped both clubs though you might need napa as well.
I would say that we are lighter in the front row than you guys.
It's a bit tricky but a smart manager could see who else has a prop we could want and get some deals going. Convince another manager to send their player to us in return we release Burto boom win win.
Were light everywhere ha ha, but don’t really rate napa, britt would be a decent cheap option
I guess with 3 teams involved it would be win win win
Have they?
I think Napa is a better 5/8th than he is a prop
I actually think Penrith have pushed themselves into a bit of a hole with the approaching deadline to name 29 players. No doubt you have a strong starting side and good depth in a number of positions. But you've probably overpaid a few players you had to offload and are needing to fill 4 spots in the next 18 days which might be difficult without promoting from within. I don't know how many of the reserve grade are really NRL ready over there. But you might actually have more depth issues than just being light on props. It wouldn't surprise me if management over there have tried to negotiate for Napa with us paying a lot of freight. a couple of internal promotions won't hurt, but having to negotiate for four (or five if Burton is released) will be tough.
If you want Lewis or Wakeham for Burton I'll drive them over myself to your club.
Doesn’t may slot straight in?
True but not at the expense of weakening one of our own rather thin areas in our roster! Despite how disappointed I am with Napa’s form the last couple of seasons, there’s no point getting rid of him if our young halves ( Flanagan and Burton ) are going to get smashed every week by opposition forward packs! Those young fellas need experienced props for metres and protection because without Napa and co there they would both be prey to every other teams big boys, it would be open slather on our halves every week. Hardly the right environment for our young guys to learn and thrive!
Doubt it. May only starts ahead of Burton in the 17 because of his utility value.
