Official Spencer Leniu rejects rivals to re-sign with Panthers

[bradyk]

“rested” he barely gets minutes anyway.

He would of been a literal god at the dogs, re-signs to play ~20 minutes a game (been terrific at that too) and now reserve grade...

 

[B-Train]

He's been getting fuck all minutes. I think he's been dropped to get more minutes in Reserves. He should have signed for more with us and he'd be playing all the minutes in FG he could handle.

It's not like they're stacked at prop either. They have JFH and Leota and that's about it. They're basically prioritising Eisenhuth and Martin etc over him.

I bet Fletcher will say this is best for his development etc. More like they promised him a bigger role and fucked him over. He's good enough to play big minutes and has played well this season when given a chance.

Yeah "rested" but then say he's set to play big minutes in reserve grade.

Guess he was promised a potential starting berth since Tamou left. I rate him better over Leota.

He isn't getting rested, he's just going to play reserve grade and get more minutes into him. You can afford to do that when you're coming first.

Was this thread resurrected out of concern for Leniu or to complain?

Can't it be both? Haha. It's bizarre he only gets 20 minutes some games. As I said, they only have two legit front rowers in their 17 each week aside from him and they surely promised him a bigger role when he re-signed..

I'm sure eventually he'll get more minutes because he's too good to be playing Reserves or getting 20-30 minutes a week.

In all honesty I think we have ample sour grapes threads on the forum. I'm getting a feeling that this one is about to turn into another one.

I can't stop the sour grapes threads about players we missed out on or released before they stepped up to play a good game(s) elsewhere. I don't really try to stop them. But I know that I have developed the ability to roll my eyes better than a 14yo getting good advice they don't want to hear from a parent from seeing these threads pop up so frequently.

Just seems like a waste of words regretting things that didn't turn out as we wanted.

Their first and reserves are both first ,they are trying to keep them all,this is their year then a heap of talent will be leaving and trent knows them all

You can't stop the threads but you can stop yourself from replying.
It's a "waste of words" replying to it aswell.

There's definitely an element of sour grapes as we made him a big offer, he's exactly what we need short and long term and he's not being utilised properly right now.

Even more so.

 

[Bulldog1966]

Well i was sort of expecting a Leinu wants out speculator thread due to the lack of game time, wouldnt be the first more like the 31st

 

[ddt192]

LOLLL Oh well suck shit to him that’s what loyalty gets u these days in the NRL.

He wasn’t dropped he was sent back to get game time in his legs

 

[Kempsey Dog]

Likely true, but you just reduce Leota or ideally Eisenhuths minutes imo

 

[alchemist]

the Panthers have such a stacked squad, some player rotation makes sense

we should monitor Leniu's progress though over the next couple seasons... I think we are going to make more than one attempt to bring Leniu across

 

[Nasheed]

One of the most underrated players of that era

He got dropped and let go at end of 2010 and lasted one season before fading. Wasn’t always clear to me why

 

[dogsballs]

Oh well hard to criticise them for anything really when you just won 9 games in a row. Wish he came to us but the panthers are obviously doing something right.
