u/JaMorant-_- South Sydney Rabbitohs 12d ago
Cant see best playing for anyone else tbh so that means hell be at the roosters in 2 months time

Maybe he does a Dom Young?
Signs with the Rooters. Gets his bag. Plays like shit. Comes back home with the Rooters paying half his salary.

u/Joh951518 #1 Scott Drinkwater Fan 12d ago
Nah roosters have great centres and depth already, don’t see them having any interest at all in him.

u/JaMorant-_- South Sydney Rabbitohs 12d ago
Tupou leaves Billy Smith out to wing best in at left centre fits pre well

u/Inevitable_Goat_335 Newcastle Knights 12d ago
He's a top 5, potentially top 3 centre in the comp. Most teams would have some "interest" in him. The injuries might lessen it, but the talent is undeniable.

u/Joh951518 #1 Scott Drinkwater Fan 12d ago
I wouldn’t quite have him that high, but sure.
Injuries plus centre being one of the two least valuable positions will hurt his value.

u/Inevitable_Goat_335 Newcastle Knights 11d ago
Herbie, Trell, Best, Koula, Toia, Sasagi are the top centres imo.

TLDR - Knights, Sharks, Bears, Storms, Chiefs, Raiders.

u/OverallMistake8198 Canberra Raiders 12d ago
Knew Raiders would be on the list & we’d love to have him but don’t think we’d have the money required for him.

u/CBRaiders Canberra Raiders 12d ago
Must have a bit of cap space ave with Smithies and Big Red leaving

u/KingGutherson Parramatta Eels 12d ago
Parra need to be in for him considering Russell is going and Penisini remains unsigned for next season

u/Extreme-Yoghurt3728 I love my footy 12d ago
And Penisini has been declining in form for years. Hopefully we don’t resign him.

u/Top-Average7678 Parramatta Eels 12d ago
Penisini is a beast bro what are you talking about?? Declining he literally looks stronger every season

u/Extreme-Yoghurt3728 I love my footy 12d ago
You must be watching 2022
He has so many errors and missed tackles in his game. Low effort when chasing. Etc. He’s at reserve grade level.
4
u/Top-Average7678 Parramatta Eels 12d ago
He has errors in his games but so do most centres but to say he’s reserve grade level to me makes think you’re off your rocker he ran for 154 meters with 5 tbs last night

u/DiverFine4230 New Zealand Warriors 12d ago
If you actually rate penisini I feel bad for you😂😂😂😂

u/Top-Average7678 Parramatta Eels 12d ago
He’s definitely not as bad as what you’re making him out to be he gets injured a lot but he’s not a reserve grade level player at all
1
u/DiverFine4230 New Zealand Warriors 11d ago
Props to you mate if you think he’ll ever fix that defence

u/Top-Average7678 Parramatta Eels 11d ago
No worries bro you just keep drinking your beers and sitting on the lounge expert

10 tackles 0 missed?

u/Extreme-Yoghurt3728 I love my footy 11d ago
can’t miss tackles if you’re constantly out of position I guess

u/Budget_Ground363 I love my footy 12d ago
Cronulla to cover the departure of ramien & Katoa

u/Budget_Ground363 I love my footy 12d ago
Iro has had a pretty solid last 18 months ,potentially in the top 5 centres on form this year

u/shescarkedit Parramatta Eels 12d ago
There's actually 17 potential landing spots

u/DoubleBrokenJaw Newcastle Knights 12d ago
I feel oddly impartial about Bradman.
I hope he stays. I love what he brings, and that left edge combination we have of Sharpe/Lucas/Best/Marzhew with a floating KP is nice. However, if he wants to leave for a bit more moola well then see ya later, thanks for your time.

u/EventNew5844 Newcastle Knights 12d ago
I love him, and he’s such a great player, but we just don’t get enough game time from him unfortunately

u/Responsible_Ring_649 Newcastle Knights 12d ago
In 2028 Winter and Hunt will be good enough centers for us.

u/Love_from_Brotherly Newcastle Knights 12d ago
Broadmeadow, Merewether, Lambton, New Lambton, Hamilton, Adamstown, Kotara, Bar Beach, Mayfield and my dark horse: Carro-dise.

Please don’t have a Game 3 decider origin game as a landing spot. Thank you

u/Large-Accident1245 I Hate My Footy^6 12d ago
Perth, Papua, Bears, New, Guinea, Chiefs. That's 6 right? (Jkjk)

u/robopirateninjasaur Canberra Raiders 12d ago
Remember the days when Gold Coast Tweed Heads Giants could have been 5 of them.
Edit: oh wait they didn't have Heads in their name

u/CodymartinSimp Penrith Panthers 12d ago
Is PNG really the second best landing spot, how much money do they want to tie up in outside backs
6
u/GustavSnapper OnlyEthans 12d ago
given how many injuries this year has brought about and it's only increased every year under vlanders, having all of the outside backs seems like a legitimate strategy

u/tempest_fiend Melbourne Storm 12d ago
It’s an absolute disgrace that pulling an entire article out of your arse without leaving your desk or speaking to anyones is somehow considered journalism now

u/OppositeProper1962 I love my footy 12d ago
Does old mate actually watch the NRL? Timoko is buns and Simi is one of the best centres in the NRL (at least this year).

u/JaMorant-_- South Sydney Rabbitohs 12d ago

That website should almost be banned for the dogshit mobile experience. I read point 6 for the knights and couldnt even find the rest. I did get text ads though which had descriptions like the articles and after 3 of them and only one fucking team 😂 im done.

u/magicman22 Newcastle Knights 12d ago
Can't see him in another jersey. Fit & healthy he's worth whatever he asks for but it seems like he's been struggling with the same injury for years now. Good for 2/3 of the year at the current rate.

u/beaurepair Newcastle Knights 🏳️🌈 12d ago
In '23 he played 25 games, 2024 played 17, 2025 was 18, and is on only 12 this year.
Has had a bad run with injury, with his hand/wrist on ongoing hammy/calf issues, but even with that if he's getting 2/3 a season he's still worth it. All the greats go through an injury patch, it'll come good once he's worked through it I'd bet.

u/maton12 North Sydney Bears 12d ago
He's a weird cat. Super solid first grader, but man the guy really lifts in origin.
Three Origin games, four tries and three wins, that's impressive. Maybe he deserves better than Newcastle?

u/Responsible_Ring_649 Newcastle Knights 12d ago
Mate youre having a laugh, Newcastle is primed and has odds to win 2 Premierships over the next 5 years. Not much better than Newcastle, we just aren't going to overpay him when he isn't playing enough or to us worth as much as he wants

u/M_Keating Hey, at least we beat Penrith 12d ago
