How long was the Jennings deal in the works?

Whilst i am extremely excited about Jennings coming on board i do wonder just how long this deal was in the works for. Jennings bought his house in the Hills district a year ago.Hopoate was about to resign and then his contract was not registered with the NRL.We could have offered Hiku a longer deal but we didnt. We also didnt chase hard for James Roberts when we had the money to do so.A strike centre was rumoured to be coming months ago.Apart from that no other club went for him.Something fishy going on . Something awesomely fishy.

  • Id guess that the seeds were planted for jennings to come a long time ago, id guess maybe even over 12 months.

    Hes good friends with a few of our boys, seeds get planted in social situations that often lead to setting up some casual behind the scenes talks with a coach.

    Also managers are always fishing out their players to clubs to see if their are any nibbles way before any media hears about it, this jennings deal could have been sitting in the wings for a while waiting on some other chips to fall into place, im tipping this was probably one of those.

    • Yeah I bet you've sown a bit of casual seed behind the scenes.

    • Is it 100% that we're keeping Paulo for 2016??
  • Mail is something was in the works for 2017 and due to circumstances we picked him up a year earlier.

  • You're mistaken Outrunna. I am Awesomely Fishy, and today I'm goin' off!!!
    • I thought Outrunna was trying to claim to be you fishy.

      Confoozed I is.

      Or was he saying it was you who pulled this one orf?

    • Mate, you know me..... I like to pull one off when I have the chance. So it could've been me lol!
  • LOLL

  • Wouldnt you love a bit of my seed Pou you dirty little mutt.

  • Apparently ghazi was the mastermind in all this . He new about it months ago Hahahaha
