News Jayden Tanner

[DogsOfWar1704]

Canterbury-Bankstown Bulldogs prop Jayden Tanner has signed with the Penrith Panthers, Effective Immediately.


Surely we have forwards coming. Surely they aren’t that stupid.

 

[04 Dreaming]

Another recent recruit chewed up and spat out

 

[Kempsey Dog]

Eddie Blacker replacement for reserve grade. He didn't cut it in first grade with us at all, so I'm happy to see him moved on, means more development players get time they need in NSW cup etc.

 

[EXPLORER]

I know we need front rowers,
It's strange we are letting go of a front rower.
He must not be too bad if the panthers wanted him.
I wonder if he has a top 30 spot at the panthers?

I also wonder, has Gus got some forwards coming we don't know about?
Are there some young forwards knocking on the nrl door from lower grades we don't know about?

I'm honestly uncomfortable with the uncertainty around our front row forwards at NRL level.

Rightly so. As it stands our prop stocks are Hughes, King, Knight, Patolo, Sutton, Faamasuli. I dont think any of these other than maybe King would be guaranteed a place in any other clubs top 17

I dont recall our prop depth ever even being half this thin it is a major concern. I think there is merit in shifting kiks to prop for some extra size and power thru our middle. He needs to learn to get busier also and this could get him rolling

It's absolutely my biggest concern heading into this upcoming season.

I dont believe theres any quality available to pick up for next yr either. Unfortunately weve missed on the key ones

 

[Mitch Connor]

Good to see him get a run back at Penrith. Seems like a good squad member.

What’s our middle depth looking like?

Top 30: King, Knight, Sutton, Patolo, Hughes, Montgomery, RFM*

Reserves: Morrin, Faamausili, Todd, Hopoi

Yeeeaaaa she’s a bit thin

Standards being set. Shape up or ship out.
No issue with this at all.
Would people prefer more Dylan Napa’s? Shudder .

 

[Snake]

Smallest front rower of all time.

 

[JaTT]

Whats the Montgomery kid like?

 

[Magic Burton]

Tanner wasn't retained by the club. He had no contract for next year. His contract expired end 2023.

I assume Tanner would have been told a fair while ago his services weren't required for next year. Same position as Averillo, Alamoti, Waddell, Flanagan, Thompson, Okunbor, Casey and Burns.

Our Top 30 is currently exhausted. Only way new players to be signed or come in is if current players are released. In some cases it might mean writing off the entire contract.

Some 2024 contracted players have already been moved on Quai Ward, Hoffman and Pele.

We have 6 players on a min of 80k supplementary deals might be higher. So that's around 500k of the 650k cap used already. Factor in they also get $3000 per game that needs to accounted for and that train & trial players once they play 3 NRL games get upgraded to development deals. This is why no club has exceeded 6 players on supplementary deals. Clubs who have 6 supplementaries Canberra, Canterbury, New Zealand, Redcliffe and St George.

Clubs who have the Top 30 currently exhausted Canberra, Canterbury, Parramatta, Souths and Wests Tigers.

Work ethic was the least of jaydens problems. He works hard and gives his best. It was prob just another signing that should never happened

Speculate all you like, it’s all you have in your kit bag.

And we thank them .

Tanner played lower grades at the Panthers before joining the Dogs so has gone back home to the riff. It would be a brave or stupid man who would suggest he is going to be Leniu's replacement.

Tanner is not NRL standard... Reserve grader at best

Panthers wanted Alamoti though, so it’s obvious they are capable of errors too

He's 19 lmao, kid shouldn't have even been playing NRL footy for us. He was one of the most hyped juniors in the game a year ago, plenty of time for him to develop and find a rope more suited to him which he will probably do at Penrith.
