[Resurrected] Whare

[ricardo]

It seems he was linked to a return to Manly last year:

I wish the bloke all the best

AS it says in the article he would have to be on the paddock before anyone considered him.

 

[tookey]

The riff will offer him a substantially reduced contract next year and he will shop around for a new club if he can find one

 

[BOZO]

Kelly could prove to be the next best thing and his combination with Dylan could be the next best love affair since Lyon and Matai .
Time will tell if we need another premier centre

I am a fan of Dean Whare .. but I think he is aging and injury prone ... we have Walker, Kelly, Parker, Tom Wright, and otherpotential 1st grade centres coming through Blacktown Seagles and the old stagers Matt Wright & Jono Wright ... I don't think we need Dean again, as great a centre defender as he is .... imho

 

[Eagles2nv]

Yeah if Kelly makes the position his own we dont need Whare. We then have a great centre combo, with guys like M wright and Parker as cover.

I can see him moving on as the riff have alot of quality in their backline.

Ken Oath. Expecting big big things. Er, feathered fiend

Kelly and Walker in the centres, not many teams have that luxury.

Not sure Whare coming back would be a step in the wright direction. If this year is about getting games into Kelly and Parker. Currently no need to look beyond that.

 

[Mark from Brisbane]

Youth is the future, get em young, train em up, reap the rewards and sadly then see them poached by big money, but in the interim we hopefully win a GF with them.

If the Panthers were to win this year just imagine what those kids they have will be worth for their next contract.

 

[Rusty Cage]

Was really disappointed when Whare left.

I think we've moved on however.

 

[Wombat Legacy]

Whare was supposed to sign in November/December,,,who fukn knows what is going on

No, some teams actually have a centre who has played an NRL game.

Yeah I reckon that hinged on the medical retirements of snake and shoulders

 

[wombatgc]

He's been named on the wing, with Hiku on the other wing. See how long he stays uninjured for?

As mentioned in the signings thread....

Dean to super league.

Former Test star forced out of Panthers

Headed to high-profile Super League club

wwos.nine.com.au

Veteran former Kiwi Test centre Dean Whare has been squeezed out of Penrith and is close to joining French Super League club Catalans.

Catalans seem likely to lose controversial centre Israel Folau, who has not contacted the club since returning down under for Christmas, - what a wanker.

but Whare will not be brought in to replace the dual international.

"Whare is actually replacing (Former Titan) David Mead, who has decided to return to Australia."

 

[SeaEagleRock8]

Panthers have got rid of most of their experienced men, and haven't many left. Tamou, Mansour, now Whare all gone. I'll be quite surprised if they scale the heights again this year, despite all their talent.

Relying very heavily on their young guns

 

[BOZO]

The biggest thing that the Panthers have got going for them this year is last years Big match Grand final experience and they have kept the core of their players that experienced that game .
Most teams that have won a Grand final had played in one . That experience is paramount
