Luke Keary and Jake Friend extend

[BallyChook]

Great news about Luke signing. Though I reluctantly would have preferred MP to play hooker over Jake, I'm also delighted he's staying. He bleeds RWB, does a shitload of defence, and is arguably the second best hooker in the comp.

On the next halfback issue, I presume we're all correct in thinking that CC won't play more than his two years.

Unfortunately nowhere near that on this year's form. Needs to get back to his running game ala something like Smith does. To do that he needs a stint on the bench each match (although Smith doesn't need to do this?). Our attack was too predictable this year with other sides knowing Jake was never going to run unless it was to go down the blindside and put a dodgy kick in on the 3rd or 4th tackle.

Unfortunately your right, all teams know this, A MAJOR weakness in our attack option,

Jake needs a 3 month sleeping pill where he's subliminally fed Cam Smith re runs.....

Gonski.
Reece Robinson has taken his place.

[Vasco]

I just want to know who’s going to be our number seven in 2020.

Lam jnr.

[Darkone]

Cleary,
& Lam will need to fight for six

Mitchell Paul.

[Salvatori Grubber]

Mitchell Paul - what a prospect. Went to Scots, Cranbrook and JP Marayong. Can play prop, hb or wing. Kiwi schoolboy rugby star. Jordan Tansey’s nephew.

My mail is that Cleary will leave Penrith. If that’s right, we have to be near the front of the queue.

Hope your mail is right. Where is it coming from?

Come 2020 we should give Cleary the $1mill we are paying CC. Nice and clean change without any salary cap pressure.

He's a good goalkicker which is a bonus as well

[The Thracian]

Oh shock horror, am I mistaken or did some of these fanboy doomsayers suggest everyone would leave because fan fav up and left

[theGman]

I think it’s he and not Pearce who has the greatest influence in the Dressing Room.

You would be surprised the quota of players at our club who are satisfied to see the exit of the "golden child"

[Johnny Tobin]

I reckon Nathan will sign wherever his father is coaching - be that Wests Tigers or elsewhere. Gould punting Ivan will come back to bite him hard. Unless Maloney gets him a premiership in his first year like he did the Chooks and Guppies, Gould's 5 year plan could be about 15 in the making.

Ivan is happy if he leaves Penrith.

What do you think of the article in today's paper reporting the Knoughts may name Pearce captain? It would be a brave call by them given his off field antics but I suppose he needs to earn the money they are paying him.

We did.

I think it would be a good move.

If his dad is the coach of the Roosters then the Chooks would definitely be at the front of the queue but I dont think that is going to happen so it will be the West Tigers.
