"This is my own opinion no one else's but it doesn't matter who we lose it matters who we keep.
The only thing we have to worry about around retention is identifying and keeping the right ones.
Penrith have let about 20 go in the last 3-4 years but…"

"EA, is this the case of Sanders and Talagi happening again? If we are that good in developing players, why are we not in the top 8 at least. We spend money, time and effort in developing them but in the end, other teams are getting the benefit from…"

"Hearing too much talk around poor defence or 'not ready' for any young kid with potential. Apa is 21. Plenty of 19/20 year olds doing well at the moment in NRL. Ryles should have given him shot at no.6.
Surely he's no worst in defence than Pezet, or…"

"Oh god here we go. Here comes the weekly MON receipt take.
Twidle is a talent but at the same time his best position seems to be Fullback. He is also 22 so he is in no position to wait any longer. With two new teams in the market come November, this…"

"Developing juniors to be good FG players and then not retaining them due to tight arse offers is the pinnacle of the club's stupidity. MON and the FO financial pushers are solely responsible for this bungle. Twidle had shown what he can do and out…"

"Exactly Super people have got to realise it's the nature of the beast "

"I wonder if the Penrith recruitment guys lost their jobs after Iongi signed with us?"

"Zip, your comment rings bells. I was unsure about Pez dispenser tbh, and his injruy unfortunate as it is has not made things better. I would have preferred we keep the kid too and looked at Pap as starting 5/8 firstly. Injuries etc have hurt.
I come…"

"Wishart was rumoured to have signed to play Hooker."

"Exactly! Hope Nanva is not next. He showed enough and he is unsigned I believe."

"But where do you play him AE? Iongi is our Fullback, his defence is not good enough for 6.
I think the club would consider Bamblett a better talent to invest in."

"Lorenzo being smaller than any first grade 6 I've seen worries me. Sure in attack he may excel but in defence i haven't seen enough of him to judge, but he's smaller than Jai Gray by the looks of it. "

"Though to some here EA, no such thing as blocked path."

"Fair enough bit more opportunity got depth in halves and got 2 fullbacks. From what we are seeing more talent is coming in terms of centres "

"He is a fair way down the pecking order and you can't keep them all. Players come and go "

"Lorenzo is the long-term halves option and Twidle sees himself as a half. Would you rather lose Lorenzo? You're going to see more of this as new clubs enter the competition. Any young guy that performs is instantly going to have their value…"
