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 🤞
- Iongi
- Addo-Car
- Nanva
- Penisini
- Jenkins
That's a solid backline to build on.
Anyone with inside goss feel free to let us know?

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?
Hmmm, making him an offer he can't refuse eh? 🐴
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
I feel like some respect needs to be put on Simonson's name.
Simmo has the respect, definitely. I think we're just achnowledging the battle he's had with big injuries EVERY YEAR he's played with us. Physically that's a monumental effort to overcome and I think we need to be smart and plan ahead.
