Zero tackle are reporting that his future is very unclear at the Panthers. Do we make a play to bring him back to the Eels?

"Exactly BA had to go through more than any other coach in nrl history off the field JR has had an easy ride in comparison don't worry about that discussion with Chief I told him that 3 years ago."
"Holbrook who did he recruit he hasn't been there long enough.
DB is a OSullivan hire I think moreso he's the key.
Dolphins and Knoghts look eerily similar athletically."

"BA also dealt with the same people that are letting Ryles down apparently? So for BA it was on him as well but Ryles has excuses?"

Nothing in it. He wants to stay but Penrith yet to negotiate and he is free to talk on November 1. This is how Penrith operate with certain players. Let Blaize test his market then offer accordingly. They won't go and overpay if they are not sure. Why pay Blaize $800k a year when his best offer is $600k? As an example.
I would have a crack but it's a wait and see.
I think penrith will bring jett back to play with nathan.
Perhaps, Jett is off-contract in 2027 as well.
No thanks offered him everything to stay when JR first joined and still left prefer Joash at least he loves the club and wants to be an eel
Nah. Still can defend and hasn't shown anything amazing
Last thing we need is a 5/8 who can't tackle.
The premise of this has been threatening, if you want to look at any weaknesses that Penrith may have, look no further than Blaize...... now keep some perspective, he is a competent player that has been sensationally well handled by the Cleary's, it is just a case of do they keep perservering with him.
We do not need him regardless of his connections, if he had a future anywhere I think he could be a good halfback, his vision is fine and he reads numbers, he most certainly will not have the cleanup patrol covering his arse at Parra. Becoming a halfback (7) would need a whole revamping of his game notwithstanding and Parra is not in that market.
We were too spoilt with Dylan Browns defensive abilities. He did a huge amount of cleanup work and has made everyone who follows in his footsteps have big shoes to fill.
Yeah sorry I meant to type can't * I don't think Blaize is the talent we all thought he was at the time. Not even sure where his best position is tbh
Still having defensive issues 2 years into a Penrith system is a bit of a worry
He's just going to test his market value - the Panthers always do this with players where they know it'll work in their favour (eg when the market isn't red hot for that player). He'll test the market, get lukewarm interest and then the Panthers will say "See, told you so, now kindly accept our appropriate offer." Worst case he leaves on overs, not a terrible outcomes given he's not exactly pivotal to the Panthers setup.
Smart approach by the Panthers honestly. They always seem to have multiple plans in place from an R&R perspective.
