Sorry guys on my mobile, so can't post up whole article but in summary we have offered Tyrone Peachey $1.6m for 3yrs from 2019. Panthers hinting they won't release him early (probs a negotiation tactic).

I dare say they'll want money or a player transfer their way. 533k a year I think is fair for a player of his ability. Providing he doesn't get injured and with a solid run of games he could be anything.

Supposedly he was a fan favourite down in penrith, great pickup.

I'm not sure if the early release denial is for this year or next. Why would Penrith give him permission to talk to other clubs for 2019 only to deny an early release. The article talks of the June 30 deadline so I'm thinking it has to do with being released to us for this year. Someone correct me if I'm wrong.

They're saying they won't release him this year. They want him off the books come 2019 to help upgrade clearlys contract. As far as I'm aware

It isn't a case of them wanting him off the books to re-sign anyone...that's just what the Penrith supporters are trying to tell themselves to justify a player who clearly wants out. Has been seeking a release for months

Its a case of Peachey not wanting to be there. A lot of unrest at that club, coach isn't well liked

Didn't the same thing happen when he coached the Broncos?

[ozynorts]

He is nothing but Gould’s yes man.

[Titanic]

He would make a huge difference on that left edge.

He is a terrible defender though.

mdrew/HS/anyone that has any info-what sort of future does Tony Matautia have??

[mdrew]

Should break into QCup this season in the backrow mate, heavy hitter in defence with a low centre of gravity and decent late footwork in attack with some leadership qualities

Anyone know how he is perceived in the nrl community and what type of culture he will likely instill, I don't know much about him.

It seems that penrith, parra, tigers and cronulla don't have most professional cultures but they have made some astute player signings over the years (except for tigers).

I can't continue to ignore the Penriff feel we are starting to acquire. A guy like Moss has experience for sure but how much stability. If you were recruiting key personnel wouldn't being able to hold a job be one of the criteria?
