Danny Weidler is reporting that Jett is considering the Warriors. So this is gaining stem

We need to start taking things with a grain of salt more often then

The voices in my head are saying Jahrome Hughes is getting a release to play 6 beside Johnson next year.. take it with a grain of salt

Funny. Mine say that every other team in the NRL is going to be pinged for salary cap violations and we'll win everything at the end of the year by default.

Shit, The way we're going with all the rumours we'll be the first pinged for salary cap violations

He's just waiting for Nas to jump first!

 

[Rick O’Shay]

But was he spotted in a cafe with Cam and what tats does he have? These questions need to be answered!!!

and he's not an Islander as far as I know, unless you count the North Island

 

[Cces]

Did jet and Hansen play together? If so that's cool!

Paired up once & Cleary played off the bench in another according to the 18th man website

Just need Sielaff burns and that's the dynasty locked in!

 

[BangBro's (still banging)]

Is Jett Cleary worth getting? I see Panthers are fighting to keep him, so won't it be a risk considering when it's time to go back to penrith he will go back to his dad and brother?

Can anyone post this?

Penrith are working on a long-term extension for Jett Cleary as they look to keep the younger brother of halfback Nathan and son of coach Ivan out of the clutches of the Warriors.

Panthers sources confirmed on Friday morning that the club was keen to keep the teenager, who has been a star in lower grades.

The Warriors, buoyed by their successful pursuit of Penrith prop James Fisher-Harris, are believed to be interested in Jett Cleary but Penrith are determined to hold onto a player earmarked to eventually join his brother in the halves.

The Warriors are well equipped in the halves but Shaun Johnson is closer to the end than the beginning of his career and Jett Cleary’s signature would help prepare them for Johnson’s eventual retirement.








Not sure if there’s more but I think this is it?

So it’s just a bunch of nothing.

That's what I thought about the JFH rumors a few hours ago

Could just be Webby doing Ivan a solid to boost Jett's income, without it looking like he's favoring him.

 

[Noitall]

So it’s just a bunch of nothing.

Hard to say if there could be any implications with pushing them to a long term offer and if that could have future implications on their salary cap? He might decide to buck the trend with the panthers already doing something special and translating that over here? To be honest I haven’t even seen him to know if I’m excited that we could get him?

There was never any JFH rumours. It was a done deal that got reported on very quickly.

FB was all over it before the announcement

Seems obvious, if Penrith want to keep hold of him, the club will. End of discussion.
No one at Panthers HQ is going to upset Ivan eh. And the kid is a teenager, he has a Dad and brother that are his heroes, he will do whatever they tell him too.

Yeaaaaa an hour before it was announced. So it was a done done that got confirmed.

These are rumours. Big difference

Also salary cap won’t be an issue because they have Nathan and Ivan there. They can just top up either of those on due time to make up for any squeeze. Keep it all in the family, Ivan can buy Jet his first house.

 

[Warriorsfan92]

Is he even that good? I can’t find any highlights. I hope we’re not chasing just for namesake.
