Rumours are a killer & i am surprised the club hasn't stepped into clarify the situation. We hear rumours of dressing room discontent but we don't know if the guys in the white hats are the players or the coaches or even a mixture of both. The main villains of the piece at the moment seem to be the board of directors for not protecting the club as a business with a statement.

Yeah lose that one and its curtains

Re: Rumours : Sun Jun 18, 2017 8:24 pm  

But if we lose will anything change within the club? My guess would be an opportunity from the board for Smith to bring us back up from the Championship (should the worst happen), or another year to show an improvement and finish above 9th (most likely mid-table).

It's a depressing state of affairs but that's the way it is. We should brace ourselves for another long spell of mediocrity in front of crowds well below 10,000.

Expect a wolves press release confirming Hiku then? http://www.penrithpanthers.com.au/news/2017/06/19/panthers_release_pet.html

Hiku and Naiqama Signed. Both available to come over this season pending Visa clearance.

Re: Rumours : Mon Jun 19, 2017 8:00 am  

Two decent signings then. Hiku full back, and Naiqama probably centre to Russell (!) on the wing.
Ratch into the halves. Evans to Leigh or below.

Just need 2 quality forwards now to replace Sims and King, and a 2nd rower to replace the woeful Hughes, and to extend Savellio.

Naiqama looks a beast

I'll admit Hughes has had a terrible season. I wouldn't be looking to ship him out just yet as last season he was a vital cog and we looked at our worst when he didn't play.

It all comes down to what's going on behind the scenes. he's clearly troubled and its effecting his game. Where's Crosby anyway?

Rumours floating around that Pomeroy is injured already also.

Well make him compete for his place at least instead of an ever present. He's been terrible this season, it's got to the point where he cannot play the ball without spilling it.

Can't see any link to naiquama signing

Re: Rumours : Mon Jun 19, 2017 9:11 am  

I don't think it is helping Hughes's case to be playing at centre instead of in the forwards. I was only thinking during the warm up on Saturday that our players seemed chubbier than Wigan's leaner ,more ready for a game team & if Pomeroy is already injured i can't really say i'm surprised.
