Panthers clean out

[Nappa]

Massive Penrith Panthers cleanout... the 13 players moving on:
Fullback Daine Laurie, back-up hookers Luke Sommerton and Soni Luke, fringe first graders Harry Hassett, halfback Brad Schneider (Dolphins), Mavrik Geyer (Tigers), Zac Lipowicz (Catalans), centre Asu Kepaoa (Knights) and lower graders
John Sagaga, Zack Lamont, Austin Dias, Riley Price and Preston Riki

Would we be interested in any of the above that are unsigned for next year?

Maybe Soni or Sommerton now that GCKT is leaving. Hassett has been mentioned a few times. Ex schoolboys captain I think but don't if he is any better than others in our squad.

Who was it that was using Austin Dias being given a run in first grade in the game when the Panthers rested 16 players against the Dogs as an example of a coach willing to blood young players (despite him never being given a run by the next club he went to after Manly let him go), because it apparently showed Seibold up?

Now the coach who gave him a run in first grade is letting him go 😂

Oh yeah, it was @TheSoaringEagle2023 😂

Austin Dias starts in the front row for the Panthers this week. Obviously they saw something in him that Manly didnt, even if he is on the fringes.

Shame, but most would be under 30 wouldn't they?

Anyone know anything about Harry Hassett , fringe forward , any potential ???

 

[Disco]

I'd be keen to give Hassett a shot

Was Austin Dias in our lower grades at some stage, or I am thinking of someone else?

Yes @Brookie1973 He was in the supplementary list 23/24/25, until he moved mid-season to the Panthers. He played a few NRL games with the Tigers in 22 as well. Who knows we might even see him back next season ......
