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
This and you don't have to muck around with a new combination bar whoever they decide to play 6.They have both no doubt have trained and played together for years at multiple levels this is the quickest way.Fox is adaptable enough to move to the other side.
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.
He is worth it. Look how good Turuva has been for Tigers
