2020 Panthers Contract Thread

Spenser Leniu ⮕ Signed to 2023 (Re-signed)

Yeah, good signing. :ok_hand:

Meanwhile Crichton (or his manager) keeps making noise of wanting $700k a season!

Sorry Christian, as good as you are your manage is blowing smoke up you back door the bling you will get that.

Good at scoring try’s yes, some questions on defense and needs to build on his application and all round reading of the game.

This will come with time, development and commitment, but as a centre he’s not yet at the level of Girdler that’s for sure.

Give me two of three Yeo’s, Martin’s Kenny’s or Edwards’s for the money instead.

We sign him for that kind of coin, say goodbye to Yeo and Rommy. Yep that will leave the team in a good position (sarcasm on).

Surely Cleary snr remembers the mess he inherited from Elliot.

I would be doing what Canberra did with that Pommy grub, here is what we think your worth, sign here…No - Goodbye

How did that work out for him, no-one was prepared to pay what his Manager told him he could get on the open market, I wonder if he has the same Manager…

Jaeman Salmon ⮕ Signed to 2021 (New Signing)

sounds a bit fishy to me !!! :upside_down_face:

Why, do you think he might backflip out of it?

out of his depth? not sure.

Perhaps changing clubs makes him feel like he is swimming against the tide.

wants to be a Panther, he sinks or swims. Time will tell !!!

Best wishes for Xmas Tom.

Lucky for Salmon that Hook’s gone, but that pest Luai’s sure to bait him, 'specially after they put him on the scales. He’ll be in the Fat Club for sure, looks like he’s stuffed to the gills.

Zane Tetevano ⮕ Leeds Rhinos (Released)

So, our 2 most experienced props are gone. That doesn’t strike me as good news, or intelligent management.

Good luck to Tetevano, it’s a good payday for him. But if his money goes into keeping Crighton for 700k a year, I think it’s a real dud call.

Scott Sorensen ⮕ Signed to 2021 (New Signing)

Josh Mansour ⮕ South Sydney Rabbitohs (Released)

Reported he has signed with the rabbitohs for 2 years.

Always sad to see a stalwart go,but with the up and coming Staines and To’o, hard to see him playing much first grade.

He’s been a great clubman, and even though he took a while to come back to form from his devastating injury, he certainly gave it his all in 2020.

Wish you the best of luck Josh (just not too much for your new team lol).

Been waiting for news on Yeo, Luai & especially Crighton (given he’s the one publicly holding out for more money.) Since Nov 1st, Tamou’s gone, Tetavano’s gone, Burton’s gone (2022), Daine Laurie’s gone (possibly this year), with only Spencer Leniu re-signed. (To be fair, retaining Leniu was big & we’ve made some new signings in Salmon, Eisenhuth, Jenninga & Sorensen.)

Anyone heard any news on retaining Yeo, Luai & Crighton?

Only news I have heard about Crichton is that his manager has apparently upped his dollar request to $750k a year.

In the words of Mr Kerrigan - tell him he’s dreaming!

Anyone seen the Aussie movie “Gettin Square”

O’h 750 ya honor…where am I gunna get 750, i’m on the bones o me arse ya honor :rofl: :rofl:

Seriously, I would be prepared to have a 750k incentive for 2 to 3 years time, but he needs to provide another full year of what we now expect as the minimum before he earns the earn!!

Player Managers are the Miranda Kerr of Rugby League - filthy money hungry grubs who are already loaded :face_with_symbols_over_mouth:
