Depends on Ponga... he's back and running again and they are saying Round 19 or 20.Browny just saying he will play again next week.

PROS: He has pace, and his positional play in attack is okay (but he doesn't get involved much).
CONS: His defence needs a shitload of work, as does his positional play in defence. Arm grabbers in NSW Cup get torn apart in NRL. Just look at Brad Abbey when he played for us.
Fullbacks available at the time we signed Meaney:Will Meaney come good, who knows, BUT at this stage in his career, he is no better than Brett Lane / Brent Crisp / Patrick Templeman (all hype and no action). That is what I am saying!!
Aekins re-signed with the Panthers this week.Meanwhile the Panthers rookie fullback, who is 3rd in line, ran for over 300m on debut... I don't know if it's already been mentioned but Attn Dean Pay! He might be worth a look!
Who is they? Their coach just said on tv that ponga probably won't be back by next week and Meaney would get another crack.Depends on Ponga... he's back and running again and they are saying Round 19 or 20.

Been saying for ages to sign the panthers kid or warriors fbWas he even playing in the last 10-15 minutes apart from falling over French?
That's Caleb Aekins .. and he was available.
That's what has annoyed me about the Dogs at the moment (and why I reckon Meaney and Cogger were "panic signings").Been saying for ages to sign the panthers kid or warriors fb
Spewing he just re-signed with riff
Are you involved with the club in anyway? How do you know that they didn’t approach these other ‘guns’ and were told no not interested. You are a complete negative nelly when it comes to the dogs and players. Go support Penrith.That's what has annoyed me about the Dogs at the moment (and why I reckon Meaney and Cogger were "panic signings").
There are a few absolute gun fullbacks floating around at the moment, which our club appears to have overlooked and gone straight for the "most available" one.
Ditto halves. Laughrey and Tex Hoy from Knights are looking like superstars (Hoy a little more), and their young fullback Cooper is destined for great things.
Not sure where Panthers see Aekins fitting though.
Fair enough, but you'll have to give him the bad news if he doesn't improveIm willing to give him 12 months after what montoya has put us through since he debut
Doesn't really matter I guess these days whether they sign or not anyway... Considering the Panthers have an influx of backs one is bound to want a release..Been saying for ages to sign the panthers kid or warriors fb

Lacks a few key physical attributes to be a game changer. He might make a solid first grader but I witnessed nothing to get excited about.He looks about 2 off-seasons in the top squad away from being a fair dinkum 1st grader to me.
This is the only comment that makes sense.Definately worth putting time into his development. Biggest thing is he needs to bulk up a bit, but hes about 90kgs so just add a bit more muscle.
I don’t think they’ll risk playing Ponga even if he’s 99%. The Knights aren’t playing Finals footy and they’ll make sure he’s 100% before returning to avoid re-injuring him.Depends on Ponga... he's back and running again and they are saying Round 19 or 20.
