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?

Considering how many players have left Penrith over the past few years , it would seem most wouldn't .
If they were starting they would. Someone like Jenkins who left once and failed probably had that in mind.

If he came to us his chances of signing for another top 4 club again if it didn't work out would be very slim. If I were in his position I reckon I'd want at minimum an extra 150k a season to think' about us. To be honest even that 150k wouldn't be enough to make me really seriously consider it. It'd be enough to just get my attention.
Yes, but is Mclean worth getting horny about, if its only a one night stand.....
He can't. Two types of fans realistic ones and the ones when you get flogged 50-6 they at least they tried.
Galvin was NEVER coming. Kean, why would you pay a million plus for him, I'm glad we didn't get him. As for Wilson, like LB stated, he is dumb. I can't believe so many are losing their shit over missing out on Wilson and Jenkins, Wilson is a reserve graders, and any winger would look good on the end of the Panthers backline.
Michael, Galvin was considering us. I know that. His family were pushing him to go to Parramatta but Luke Vella and Ciraldo pitch for him being 7 got him to Dogs. He considered us.
Keaon on the other hand heard we had an meeting, but only offered a short deal, but it was mentioned not tabled. So technically could say we didn't even offer a deal. Now i know you and i disagree with Keaon but that deal i think is being overplayed how much we went for him. Personally i think we should have as his dad said he would have taken a reasonable offer.
As for Jenkins, reason i and a few others are disheartened is not Jenkins himself, it is he is the best of what is left, discounting Taulagi as he seems odds on for Easts. I am a massive advocate of not signing for the sake of signing. Jenkins would not of been that as you are getting quality with good age and skills. But also, i would have chosen Taulagi over Jenkins too.
As for Wilson, he needs to sack his managment. They have not steered him well at all. Imagine if he came to Parramatta in 2024? He would have played every game and in 2025 as well.
People are losing their shit because we can't even sign such players you regard as a reserve grader and only looking good on the end of the panthers backline, you get?.
Jenkins is better than reserve grader for sure. He is better than what we have, take out JAC.
He regards wilson as the reserve grader, which he is, and Jenkins as looking good at the panthers, both true. It's the fact we can't even sign players he considers as not worth worrying about is the reason we are worried.
