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 love meme's mainly because if you want to be a part of a site like this, you have to have a sense of humour. 

              If you haven't got one than you all take yourselves too seriously.....as for Cheefy being in his late 40s /early 50's.....I wish I was, but no where near as dangerous if I was 18 again.

              I have figured out that when I die I will be hundred and my wife will be so upset, she will delay her 21st birthday party and her last year of university!

              NB I didn't say how I would die, but any sense of humour would "go figure".

      • Get the shovel, chief burried again. You've gotta get sick of looking silly mate? Honestly not saying you  don't have a point sometimes but do you get sick of people clowning on ya sometimes right? 

        • Jack, go and call a few more members on your private number.  You may gain a few more votes 

      • He's posted this meme 4 times for everyone else that didn't see it ☠️ rip, we seen it old man 

        • You realise I am sticking up for you Cheefy, but I am a bit concerned he sees you as an old man.....you have a while to go to qualify as a silly old bastard Cheef...... but you will qualify one day.....you have the silly part down pat already.

  • 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.
