Player movements and rumours

  1. Magic AJ Parker

    Has there ever been a more successful journeyman?

    Shame to see him leave, definitely still in the top 10 halves running around in the NRL IMO.
     
  2. jazman84 JM Eightyfour

    Broncos should have made him an offer.
     
  3. morgieb MC Burridge

    Maloney AFAIK has been planning a move to SL for ages/finish his career there. I think unlike a lot of English moves this is 100% his choice. He's still a fine player and I wouldn't mind us pulling a Langer to pick him.
     
  4. Maroon_Faithful M Faithful

    He’ll dominate ESL if he wants to.
     
  5. Lukic L Popovic

    What do people think of Simonssen from the Raiders? He's looked good from what I've seen and figures to be the odd man out for the Raiders when Leilua and Cotric return.

    Wouldn't mind the Tigers trying to sign him to fill our hole on the wing. Ideally we make a play at Radradra if Parra re-sign Sivo.
     
  6. Magic AJ Parker

    Depends what happens with the Rapana situation. There may be an opening for him on the wing at the Raiders.
     
  7. Maroon_Faithful M Faithful

    They may well have. No NRL side was ever going to get him though. He's been talking about finishing his career in Europe for several years. 33, still in good health and clearly wants to travel.
     
  8. Maroon_Faithful M Faithful

    It's a massive plus for us Qld'ers (NSW's halves will be pus again), but the game is poorer for him leaving. Despite not really liking him, the guy can play, and he makes many players around him better footballers.
     
  9. Cribbage RG Cribb

    I never really rated him quite as highly as others and I still largely regard some of his biggest accomplishments as flukes, but I can sure respect a good fluke, and he sure proved me wrong a few times way beyond fluke too. I'm way too big a NSW fan to actually dislike Maloney. May you carve up Super League like no-one has before.
     
  10. Cribbage RG Cribb

    He's fucking gun IMO. Would rather Wests sign him than Radradra due to price to performance tbh.
     
  11. Sultan Pepper HG Emm

    I'm going to make a prediction that Moylan will end up back at Penrith in the next 2 seasons.
     
  12. AVA T Delonge

    I can't remember, did he leave on good terms or did he bail because he was dropped/because of Hook? If he still has an attachment to Penrith I can definitely see him heading back.
     
  13. Cribbage RG Cribb

    He left on pretty bad terms but neither Hook nor Gould are there anymore so that might not matter, depending on how the players felt about his departure at the time. Lots of their fans really hate him now though which would make it interesting.
     
  14. Magic AJ Parker

    Give them a season with Edwards/Luai/Cleary and all will be forgotten.
     
  15. Wilson SB Wilson

    I rate Luai. Far too green atm but has the necessary skills to be really good if persevered with.
     
  16. Cribbage RG Cribb

    Yeah I'm a fan too. I'm not sure the pre-season decision this year to bulk him up was really the right move though. I guess it was if they thought using him off the bench in the middle was going to seriously improve the side for this year but I think he seems to have lost a bit of agility with that shift. This isn't his ideal playing weight if he's going to be a 6 IMO.

    Edwards is still a bit shit though. He's over his rough patch which is good but he wasn't that great to begin with. Moylan at the back would vastly improve the side as long as he hasn't burnt any bridges with the playing group.
     
  17. Magic AJ Parker

    So do I but when your half and fullback offer pretty much nothing in good ball attack it's easy for opposition defences to stack their defence. Luai doesn't have the experience yet to overcome that IMO anyway.

    I think Penrith are really going to struggle next year without Maloney. Creatively and organisationally.
     
  18. Magic AJ Parker

    Jesse Ramien is a free agent for next year.

    By the sounds of it just a bit pissed he wasn't getting any good ball.
     
  19. Wilson SB Wilson

    Nor should he; hands like feet this year.

    Will happily take him back though
     
  20. Sultan Pepper HG Emm

    Korisau coming back to Penrith. Could've sworn I saw he was headed to the Dogs.
