  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.

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?

To'o will go to png. You can blame Jenkins for staying, the last time he left to a team that was way lower on the ladder it almost derailed his career

"I have a lot of mates that are Penrith supporters they are happy they kept Jenkins over To'o. Mind boggling. They are also starting a movement to get ryda to Penrith. Saying parramatta is a dead end team and his career won't go anywhere. Talk about…"

"Not a folly, Richard. A great ‘idea’.
Three obstacles come to mind.
One, don't expect a silver bullet. The Storm board is entirely businessmen. No former elite players. They're the most consisent this century, besides this year. Penrith has one.…"
