    Not to mention all that front on defence for his dodgy shoulders.

    That has to be the oddest move of all-time. Might as well have just kept Levi given that.
     
  3. Sultan Pepper HG Emm

    More and more talk around Mansour leaving Penrith.
     
  4. Hurricane JD Hurricane

    rumour Warriors have signed Sean O'Sullivan from Broncos. Is he is any good.
     
  5. Magic AJ Parker

    Wouldn’t surprise, he’s Peter O’sullivan’s son and used to play for the Roosters so right in line with the Warriors recruitment of late.

    I like him, he’s a left footed kicker with a decent kicking game. Seems to be able to read the game really well and has a decent running game. Unfortunately injuries seemed to hamper his 2 years up in Brisbane but in the games he did get he looked pretty good for a young half in a woeful side.

    Thanks Magic :)
     
  7. Boobidy BJ Gemmell

    SOS is pretty good with ball in hand. Horrible without it

    I think this makes him out to be a better playmaker than is, who only isn't playing because of his defence.

    I think this is generous in some ways.

    For someone his age he's way ahead of the curve in organisation and long kicking. His ball playing sucks though which is a massive problem, as does his short kicking and yeah his defence, but most clubs don't expect their young young halves to be gun defenders. This is a Brisbane/Wests thing at the moment almost exclusively tbh.
     
  9. Boobidy BJ Gemmell

    Sure he has youth, but the cunt has had about 4 ACL injuries. I don't think he is going to turn out to be much.

    Panthers punting Mansour. Would be a good pick up for quite a few clubs.

    Never the most athletic bloke and at 30yrs old there will be a natural drop off over the coming years but still better than a lot of wingers currently getting a gig in First Grade.

    Love Mansour, just about the best attitude in the comp. Big call to flick him, but shows what they're trying to build for.

    Will be interesting to see how him and Tamou gone changes the dynamic at Penrith though, in all the excitement of the young guns the difference they make in Penriths go forward goes a bit unnoticed. I think there's the depth to cover Tamou, but replacing Mansour with Staines will really change things, unless they're thinking Naden on a wing and May/Whare in the centres. I wouldn't be stunned to see Edwards get pushed out this time next year in a similar way.
     
  12. Sultan Pepper HG Emm

    Bulldogs could do worse than line up with a subsidised Mansour on one wing and DWZ on the other, good metres.
     
  13. Hurricane JD Hurricane

    I could make a case or cast aspersions that Mansours serial fuck ups deep in the playoff rounds cost Penrith and might be a factor in flicking him.
     
  14. Alex AJ O'Driscoll

    Doggies would prob play him at fullback and DWZ in the centres.
     
  15. Hurricane JD Hurricane

    We have very few specialist league reporters in enzud. Most are generalists.

    This NZ reporter in this article notes that Rooster have signed Keighran from the Warriors.
    https://www.stuff.co.nz/sport/leagu...eighran-in-talks-to-join-roosters-next-season

    This author goes on to suggest he will be the starting stand off next year to pair with Keary.
    I will eat my hat if he gets any game time in the halves. Maybe he might get called up as centre replacement if injury strikes Morris or Manu.

    He's the best half on our roster at the moment. Has really good vision. He'd do well at a side like the Warriors.
     
  17. Magic AJ Parker

    Yeh looks like he has been signed as Mitchell Aubusson's replacement to provide some utility value in the squad.
     
  18. Boobidy BJ Gemmell

    Disagree. He's probably 3rd at Brisbane.
     
  19. Hurricane JD Hurricane

    Warriors have signed Marcelo Monteya (spelling) from the Dogs. He will be back up depth to our wingers.
