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?

"Sivo had upside coming to us too. There is a reason why Jesse is not getting picked. Even during Origin they go elsewhere. I think it would be an alright signing but there is a reason he is stuck in Cup. Age regardless."
"Great work Parra. Get rid of Jim and MON. Couldn't offers a decent contract to a guy across a town. "
"Jesse is 21. We signed Sivo at 24 or 25. So I think we have lots of upside with Jesse."

Explain all the other misses? Galvin, Keaon, Wilson etc
Our recruitment team is a disgrace and if they can't land Jesse McLean from this then they deserve to be sacked
This is a miss though to be fair as well he is staying at the best club in the comp. I think many would do that.
But you are also right, McLean's spot is now blocked further. If you cannot convince him to get out and come over for regular FG, pack her up.
He can't. Two types of fans realistic ones and the ones when you get flogged 50-6 they at least they tried.
And the Dolphins centre Herbie is being chased by the Roosters, I've said it before their recruitment is so superior to the Eels, boy they need to lift.
Yeah I was always each way, as poppa would call me, in that they should go but also not everything they do is awful.
I also said let's wait til it is done to see what they come up with then judge. But I said it with the caveat that if the likes of Jenkins stay or go elsewhere panic is fair.
Its getting ridiculous now as there are no other top quality Wingers, he's was the last one for now. Unless you just throw cash at Murray Taulagi before Roosters officially get him. But it is starting to hit worry territory for me now Jenkins is off the market.
I was against the idea of throwing the money we would need to throw to get him. Now it's a case of probably just do it, he would lead to getting at least another 2 signings simply from him being there.
Is Jesse even good? He seems like an average winger to me.
Well he averages around 150m per game, decent under high ball and can score tries. But also he has been used very sparingly, there is a reason for that.
He is a Maika Sivo type signing from Penrith where you get him for opportunity but high chance he's not good due to what Penrith saw of him. Sivo at least worked out somewhat.
Jesse is 21. We signed Sivo at 24 or 25. So I think we have lots of upside with Jesse.
Sivo had upside coming to us too. There is a reason why Jesse is not getting picked. Even during Origin they go elsewhere. I think it would be an alright signing but there is a reason he is stuck in Cup. Age regardless.
Great work Parra. Get rid of Jim and MON. Couldn't offers a decent contract to a guy across a town.
