Jenkins to the Eels?

Some early Friday morning scuttlebutt on Facebook saying Eels have made an offer to sign Thomas Jenkins from the Panthers. I really have no idea if this is true or the validity behind the rumours, but this is a signing I can definitely get behind. Hopefully we've made him a great offer that puts Penrith in a difficult position to retain him. They have Tago and To'o on around $800k each, Alomoti and McClean on moderate deals, so it's a stacked backline and someone's gotta go, and they can't keep them all.

Jenkins is young and has a great career ahead of him, if we storm in with slightly overs for 3+ years it will be a great investment because we're shit at developing wingers. Let's hope this rumour is true 🤞

  1. Iongi
  2. Addo-Car
  3. Nanva
  4. Penisini
  5. Jenkins

That's a solid backline to build on.

Anyone with inside goss feel free to let us know?

      • NOS I would have Jenkins on the wing.  He is lethal in the air.  Moses kicking to him would be a great attacking option for us!

    • I wouldn't rule our Samrani Super. If he had not been hurt i doubt Nanva would have debuted at the moment.

  • He is a product of his elite center next to him. There is a reason Penrith are willing to part ways. They could offload Tago or the like to keep him. 

    • The reason would be price. A team will pay overs, we would too, hoping he will continue his form. 

  • 🤞

  • Won't happen, because we just announced a Jnr upgrade 😝

    • 😊

  • would love this to be true but chief says it close so we have no chance as chief is laways wrong

    • yep that ^
      LOL
