A couple months ago I heard rumors that we had actually made an offer for Jennings stating we would be willing to pay 350,000 of his 650,000 contract.

However Gould played hardball and said all or nothing.



If we can get Gould to crack I reckon he's a chance.

That would be a bad deal for Penrith, particularly if it is on-going past the first year.

That is too much money to be paying someone to play for another club. If you break it down simplistically You can sign a very good player for $300,000. Then they'd have to find someone else to fill his position (who would most likely be worse) for the $350,000. I think that's a pointless exercise. I know they want to rebuild, but that just doesn’t make sense.

Seriously though. 420k would go a long way to securing Jennings or another good centre.

It could mean the difference between a premiership next year.

Why can't we just offload him? Every other team seems to be able to not honour contracts why can't we!

You can't flick a player under contract and not pay them out. You can do a deal with another club and pay a portion of the player's salary, but the player has to agree. For all we know we have shopped him around but no one is interested.

If we are going to blow our wad on one guy I would rather wait a year and make that guy Mitchell Pearce.

Mitchell Pearce and Todd together in the halves, yeah I reckon I could live with that. No way I'd spend $1m of the cap on Inglis, as good as he is.

I'd hope we give Chad every opportunity next year though, starting from round 1.

Stop bagging Tupou you grubs. If he gets a whole season with Carney he will be a star. You are just all hating because he is getting so much coin. Get over it. We will probably re-sign him at the end of next year on an 100k contract anyway
