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?

    • 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

  • 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

"He can find the try line but also he's carried out of the half have been really good. Consistently makes 200+m with other 10+ per run and his pcm are similar to to'o this year. Be a great signing "

"He has only played Centre and Wing in Cup and NRL. Not sure where the talk of him playing 1 & 6 came from but he hasn't played either in open age footy."

"$500k is overs but I can tolerate it for Jenkins. Particularly if he plays Origin."

"He might say I want to go elsewhere to start and so be it. But yeah his injury may lead him to miss a portion of 2027. Surely he wouldn't be sweet to just jump right in playing he'd need time in Cup."
