Tom Jenkins has turned his back on plenty of interest from other clubs and extended with the Penrith Panthers for another 3 years!
but but but I thought he was a sure thing to sign at Parra?

That centre for the broncos antonio verhoven can play he's got that josh bostock build and will only get better. Snare this kid i reckon
We need stars not potential this is why we always end up bottom 4.
Good on Jenkins for showing loyalty to the club that took a leap of faith in him. We've done the same with many of our youngsters and hopefully it will be returned some day soon.
Recruitment you have to set these moves up not jump onboard 2-3 months out.
This is why we need another team builder who understands how this shit works.
I don't think we need players I think we need a recruitment specialist who has an over arching plan.It seemingly doesn't exist at Parra shit we are having issues getting Jnr Paulo to finish his career at his junior club..I've got a real sneaking suspicion one of these expansion clubs is going to offer a Junior a 2-3 year retirement gift to finish his career.
Milky good for him like many have mentioned showing club loyalty he knows where his breads buttered.I suspect old mate at Penrith Matt Cameron has a plan regardless of who there losing.Undoubtedly if they lose a lot of that older talent a hitlist will be being formed and probably has been in the background stewing for a couple of years.
MON probably offered him 100k a year and a backyard bbq at hes place.
that tubby fuck needs to go as well as the rest of the board!
I bet Ryles is getting sick of it
This is really disappointing.
Understand it would be very difficult to entice players from the Panthers system, so not throwing R&R under the bus on this one in isolation, but I feel many underestimate Jenkins as a player.
Being surrounded by good players & being in an elite system likely does make him a better player, but I find that such a strange 'criticism' of a player.
He's a very good player - good defender, brilliant in the air (great for Moses), his positioning & finishing is excellent, can play multiple positions & most importantly has elite speed which is so helpful in both attack and cover defence.
Jenkins would've been a sensational purpose.
Not fussed on missing out on milky.
Wouldn't be surprised if the suli and falou rumours are true. Seeing this 1 was supposed to be strong mail. We may get both before june 30th.
I guess it's somewhat positive?
Absolutely disgraceful could only get 1 deal done b4 June 30th with our injury toll.
It was the Retention & Recruitment Experts going on about Jenkins, and now he has extended wth Panthers, apparently the club is to be impugned for not signing a sure thing? The absurdity of speculating on signings then impugning the club for not finishing a 'sure thing' is next level self-fulfilling prophecy
Speaking of R and R experts, where's chief? There's no evidence to suggest he's been on the site for 24 hours. Is a search and rescue mission needed?
I think we have great talent in what we have our pack
Kitione, Teacun Brown, Ryda Talagi, Sam Tuivati, Jackson Konia, Petrus. But I reckon put Spencer with them and also hopgood could really do some damage. I reckon we're missing a six and some talent in the backs. Our forwards seem set probably why we're aren't spending much on big names and hence why they wanted Keaon so badly.
We can complain how bad our recruitment is, and yes it's been bad but we are recruiting in the worse time possible. We aren't winning on field, there is two new other teams with more cap space than us, we don't even have TPAs to put in place or a major sponsorship to get players over the line. We can blame R&R team as much as we like but we have to admit it's the the brand of selling Parramatta the 40 year drought that keeps calling. To get players to come here we need to start winning on field and also make some professional moves in the front office with changing football management like head of recruitment etc.
We have missed 5-6 signings and also losing plenty of young talent over the years with the same recruitment team. It's a factor of when is enough enough. Reason why we aren't performing on field is because the front office is not holding those in charge accountable for why we aren't moving up and why we aren't attracting the big names. It starts with recruiting a big name to that R&R team then you can work ways in out who'll suit us and who'll go and who'll be Mitchell Moses replacement. At this rate the club is not doing anything to benefit the club's future or even the clubs needs and wants now. If we can't sort that out then we cannot be a competitive team until when.
Jenkins is a disaster signing for us, yes he's a try scorer freak but we need balance around the youth. You need to recruit a tago, Bostock, Burton, Spencer maybe even look in to rugby 7s or check some Bronco juniors or Penrith just something that will add another dimension to our team than just basic fundamentals of rugby league. In order to create a star studded team from scratch you need to look into other codes, Teams juniors, touch football and also personality skills test to see if they can add to what we can build here. Right now we have a group of just one dimensional fundamental rugby players maybe Iongi and Moses and Even Fox can play outside of that and TDS. Other than that it'd be cool to recruit a Moses Leo, or a Marky Mark type player. Recruitment should be easy for us yet we keep recruiting the has beens that add nothing to our club.
