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?

"Well he would be going rate for top notch Wingers. Around the $500-650k range. Maybe pushing $700k since he has played Origin and is named in Game II squad."
"Didn't know that, he wont be cheap either. "
"Not official, but nearly done."
"Yer, i take your points there, and dont disagree. Interesting times, I feel like we will at least talk to him, who knows how high eels will be prepared to go. Bostock would be a great fall back position. "

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.
Herbie is a million dollar centre and that's the only price he will leave the Dolphins for I would assume.
We would need to offer $1.3+ to get him.
And think we should go that high, worth every cent imo.
For a Centre it is risky as it can destroy your cap. On the other hand we are that desperate we might need to.
** 1.5**
I did say $1.3 plus. That is minimum.
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.
