Leniu - What happened?

[Glenn L]

A few weeks ago he was a certainty to be signed. Now reports say potentially a Rooster?

This is why we wait for an official announcement lol now everyone stressing because they thought we had him lmao

...and as the media hype grows, so too his value. It's as if these player's managers plan it this way...

 

[Kempsey Dog]

Couldn't care less now tbh, if he wants 700k let the fucking Roosters have him for 350K on the books and 350K off it.

They can rort the system all they like, but the only won when they had Cronk. Without him they can't win it.

 

[Marki]

Cool. We can get Atoni back!

 

[Moedogg]

He's a bench prop. Not worth 700k.

 

[Burgler]

Cool. We can get Atoni back!

Atoni is in England mate

Atoni is in England mate

Likely to get relegated with Wakefield also

Have no idea what the club is thinking with regards to Leniu except a comment suggesting the training staff want to look at who is already on contact. With this in mind does anyone have an opinion on the likely hood of Samuel Hughes becoming an NRL prop? He definitely has the size but could find nothing on his ability.
Still hopeful Patolo can take a big step forward this season too. He has time on his side.

'let the roosters have him" ? The question that needs to be asked is that Lenui is asking for up to 700ka year but if he signs with the roosters it will be between 500 and 600k. They can always pay players at least 100k under their market value because the NRL does not place a market value on players to stop the roosters and other teams like the storm continously doing this. The salary cap is a joke and until this problem is fixed, the best talent will always go to the elite teams.

Of course they do!
Look at Moses he was never leaving.

 

[Aristidiz]

If we want him we will sign him, I think Gould and Ciraldo have proven that enough when it comes to Penrith players looking to move on

My recollection from last season was Sam Hughes only played short stints. Imposing but very green.
The other interesting young talent is Zac Montgomery.
Gus should be able to launch a new front rower or two next year or 2025.

Here is a recent clip from the program which is overseen by Peter Kelly and Mitch Newton.

While he offers impact he clearly wants to much if that 700k is true. Not even close to value there for mind.

Gus saying we have 650k for 23 and few mil for 24 to spend tells us we have $ but we need to land a quality 7 and I’m sure we will land a quality forward he sees fit.

While highly unlikely if we are talking 700k for leinu or anywhere near that I’d much rather us go throw that at nelson. Again don’t think he leaves storm unless it’s union but that’s the kind of $ for someone like him who in my opinion is much better value as far as where he’s at and the minutes he can punch out.

 

[GoTheDoggies]

Who gives a fuck, at the end of the day if he wants to be here he will come.

If he wants to be a mercenary like Cheese he will go to the Rorters

 

[GoTheDoggies]

Their pack has been constantly rolled and dusted up by Souffs in the past 3 years, of course they are desperate for forwards.

It’s odd signing for me. I know Hargreaves is probz gone but collins is a great young prop. Lodge is better than leinu (even if he’s a ****)

Can’t see him starting there.

My dad used to love that show when he was little.

Surely we must start playing by their rules? It's not as if we don't have the finacial clout now with the Laundys onboard. Time to start rorting with the best of them.

If Roosters want him they will get him.
