Tom Jenkins Coming Back?

Just read that Tom Jenkins has been released by the Knights & could be heading back to Penrith as a replacement for Sunia Turuva.

Casey or Jesse Mclean probably would be favourites to take Turuva’s spot, but Jenkins would be an interesting option.

Any thoughts?

He has been given a lifeline by playing for the Panthers feeder St Marys Saints in the Ron Massey Cup.

He has a lot of work ahead of him if he wants to crack first grade at Penrith.

Poor Tom has really sabotaged his career. The move to the Knights couldn’t have turned out worse for him.

Released early and now coming back to the Panthers way behind in the pecking order. Had he stayed he could easily have become a starter.

Unless he sets the world on fire and somebody notices, I’m not sure he will even crack the Reggies.

My thoughts exactly when I heard he had signed for St Marys, he was very much on the verge of a first grade breakthrough when he left us, just needed a bit more strength and bulk.

A good case study on why not to chase the easy money too early.

I have also heard on the grapevine that Staines is desperate to come back too
