I have no inside intel or contacts within rugby league circles, but this is one rumour I keep seeing in different parts of the internet. Social media, Penrith forums, other eels forums etc.
Milky Jenkins apparently is going to sign a 3 year deal with Parra. Again I don't know how true this is. He'd be a good addition. Yes he plays on the end of a dominant team and yes he was average at Newcastle. But he was also a kid. He's matured and coming into the peak years of his career. Quick, great in the air and often makes 200m a game. Something we are lacking. I'd love for this to be true.

I have said and still am wary of him outside of Penrith. But also an argument can be made on skill and form he is the best back on the market right now. So I do not blame Parra going for him. This is a high risk high reward signing. At least still young enough too.
One shining light is last time he left Penrith he had only 6 NRL games under his belt. So will be more confident as a player.
again I must say , who ever comes to parramatta , I can only hope they can improve and take their game to another level under parra's coaching staff. ....... if not S.O.S the f#%k for that HAYNE guy. FFS !! surely J.Ryles can benefit some sort of input 🤔..again just saying.
Doesn't Jenkins play on the left? Fox is also a left sided player. I don't see it happening sorry. Happy to be proven wrong but sides matter and I don't think Fox can play on the right as effective
so Wingers only play one side and one side only? Sides matter but Penrith also train their backs to play both left and right. To'o can do so, Turuva the same. Jenkins has played right for Penrith before and done fine.
Dont see it happening? So you are saying Jenkins turns down a good deal from Parra just cause he's not on the left? I also doubt JAC is one to move.
Edge players are either left or right side. Some can play both but don't play both we'll. Just because he can do a job on the right doesn't mean it's a good signing. You want your wingers to hold the ball away from the defender and plant the ball with their away hand not inside hand. If you can't do this you are at a disadvantage.
He isn't coming
Going by your history, by saying he isn't coming I am now more optimistic he is coming.
