Thomas Jenkins

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.

"For Suli? Yeah I don't think so. Is that to make them feel better about a possible signing? We have Su'A doubt we go for another edge."

"Yeah he's been so good at 6 that both Dolphins and Dogs barely played him there despite numerous chances."

"Nearly $700k for Averillo? Mental. He's a fine player but that's Origin level money at Centre. I would rather Averillo as well but not at 6 and not on that money."

"Maybe we do get Xerri or tago with Pensini maybe going. But i'm liking how we are building things nicely, reminds me before 2019. We just need to get our defensive schemes right because our attack is alright but i think ryles is pushing more towards…"
