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?

  • 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

  • I like it. Excited to see it if it happens. I would consider moving fox to the right wing with Penisini. Get Tago to play next to Jenkins and you have a great backline

  • Reportedly Penrith can only offer $350k

    • Parra need to be smart and pay overs to make the decision for him. You might consider taking $350k in a Premiership team, but you're not going to walk away from an extra $200k per year over 3 years.

      Offer $575k per year over 3 years and get it done ✅

    • 4 year, 1.45 million with unlimited tickets to wiggles concerts and 30% off at Peter Wynn's Score for the lifetime of his contract?

I think the blog of yours that Coryn re-upped was great. Lots of data on Brown. Fair points that critique was unfounded. …"
