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.

Fully understand LB, what I am saying is by signing another preferred left sided player in my mind it doesn't make sense. It would make more sense to go for a right sided player and let JAC continue to perform at his ceiling rather than dropping. But I also get two higher averages are better than what we have anyways. We shall see if Parra actually position themselves to offer a lucrative deal which he will accept.
He isn't coming
Going by your history, by saying he isn't coming I am now more optimistic he is coming.
Suli won't be great. Maybe if he plays in the 2nd row with versatility to cover centre. But do we need more stocks in the 2nd row, don't think so. If we have another injury toll like this might be an ok decision. Just trying to paint a better picture if we do sign him, but not a great decision to get him.
He would be bought as a centre or wing with the potential to be a utility......any expectations of greatness would be a complete exxageration..... the decision could only rest with the alternatives we have....as someone mentioned you don't have to be Einstein to realise anyone wanting to come to Parra is not a oneway street. Picking your bride was always an easy choice for the "Elephant Man" but a lot more difficult for the "Bride".
