The Wests Tigers have signed outside back Robert Jennings on a two-year deal, effective immediately.
22-year-old Jennings was the leading try scorer the South Sydney Rabbitohs in 2018 with 19 tries in 21 matches.
"Robert is a quality young man who I’ve worked with before and seen develop into the talented rugby league player he is," said head coach Michael Maguire said on the club website.
"He adds size, power and speed to our edges and is an excellent addition to our squad.
"Off the back of a strong season, I have no doubt he is going to fit extremely well into our systems and I looking forward to watching him take the next steps in his career at this club."
What is there backline looking like now? They must have some depth…
1. Mbye
2. Jennings
3. Masters
4. Momirovski
5. Nofoaluma
C. Thompson
M. Fonua
Good young backline. Really like the direction the Tigers are moving in. Not sure if Jacob liddle is a good enough young hooker would like to see them try sign Jayden Brailey for some competition when Farah leaves but it’s looking better
Life will be more pleasant for Jennings away from those mongrels at souffs. What type of a low life club leads a player on thjat if they can free up enough money he can stay and while he is training with them all off season they keep signing a stack of poor quality imports and then let Jennings go saying after we signed 10 imports for our transit lounge you miss out Jeno😁😂😆🤣😁😂😆🤣 unbelievable 💪🐔👍
Much I marveled this ungainly “fowl” to hear discourse so plainly, Though its answer little meaning—little relevancy bore; For we cannot help agreeing that no living human being – Ever yet was blest with seeing bird above his chamber door—Bird or beast upon the sculptured bust above his chamber door, …. With such name as Woodchook, then Nevermore.”
You are an absolute idiot…
Jennings was offered a bloody good deal for a 39-game 2 seasons, Rookie who can’t bloody tackle.
Jennings let in 13 trys in 2018 but you never ever hear the Media mention that.
Do you?
All you hear about is the 19 trys that everyone’s Grandmother could have scored.
His Manager Isaac Moses wanted more.
Richardson decided to Invest the money into other fine up and coming Rabbitohs players like Tom Amone, Ky Rodwell, Dean Hawkins and a bloke in our ISP who will be a good quality First Grader in 2020.
Lachlan Walmsley.
Two days ago you rated Jennings as the best winger in the comp
Life will be more pleasant for Jennings away from those fools at souffs. What type of a horrible club leads a player on that if they can free up enough money, he can stay and while he is training with them all off season they keep signing a stack of poor quality imports and then let Jennings go saying after Souffs signed 10 imports for their transit lounge, you miss out Jeno unbelievable not enough cash for the top try scorer😆😂😁🤣😁😂😆😂😁😂😆

WoodChook the hypocrisy is real, your grub club sold out your 10 year 1 club halfback to buy Cronk and get a cheap premiership
How many wingers do the Tigers need? They’ve done this before and it hasn’t worked. If they had signed Michael Jennings I could understand because Masters needs someone to lead him and create room for him to run. Robert Jennings is a great winger. Corey Thompson was great before he got injured. He put in 110% when he played.
Agreed, and Parra was (according to the media at least) trying to do the same thing, which I wasn’t happy about.
I assume they’re going to try him, or possibly Nofoaluma at centre, or else Thompson becomes “first reserve” winger/FB?
Anyway, if you (the Tigers) don’t want Fonua (unless there’s a real disapline issue), I’d be happy for Parra to take him off your hands, because we need a centre.
Ethan Lowe to souths you heard it here first.
As pedro says….keep ’em rollin’ boys, I have borrowed a line from Mental As Anything’s very first Australian Hit….”Whoa Hoa, the nips are getting bigger”.
Then the fun police came……
Jennings outside tackle busting beast fonua will soon have people talking, he’ll score more than 19 this season
Agreed and with Marsters/Nofoaluma on the other side I’m excited to see what our backline can produce.
Fonua is a reserve grader, kidding yourself big time. Jennings will return to being a fringe first grader at best now that he wont have Inglis and Walker to spoon feed him untouched tries
Just wondering why the Rabbits saw Ethan Lowe as being more important than Robert Jennings. Don’t get me wrong. I really like Ethan Lowe but believe Robert Jennings could have offered more to the Rabbits.
You can’t compare Jenning to Lowe as they play in different positions.
Lowe will NOT be at the Rabbitohs, the club has moved on and pinched Junior KIWI Tom Amone off Manly 2 weeks ago.
The Lowe business was 5 weeks ago, the rumours in the media are well behind the times and facts.
That deal fell through.
Clubs have Rosters, Souths outside backs spots are filled.
For the amount, Jennings Manager was after the club bought 2 really good up and comers.
Jennings, we wish him all the best but just remember this…
It isn’t the amount of trys you score that makes you a First Grader.
It is the amount of trys you save that does!
Defence wins competitions and Jennings was the Rabbitohs worst defender of all 26 players in 2018.
He was directly responsible for letting in 13 trys in 2018.
Let us see how he goes when he isn’t playing with the best-attacking team in the Comp.
Walker, Johnston Sutton and Inglis made Jennings look good.
🤣😁😂😆😂😁🤣 “Defence wins competitions” Why then did soufffs sign Bennett❓❔❓❔ His Broncos got a few thrashings last season like the semi against Saints 48-18 in fact Bennett’s coached Bronco’s last season let in 500 points just in the regular season. Jennings is not the only liability in defence. Graham and Johnston to high light a pair.💪🐔👍
“Lowe will NOT be at the Rabbitohs, the club has moved on”
Hmmm, do you want to possibly rethink that bold statement? And here we were believing you that you work for Souths and are actually in the know.
Your a fool, of course he is now useless he is leaving…. maybe because of his young age nobody has seen anywhere near how good he can be
At least he’s joined a better team!
Roses are red violets are blue the rorters will be jealous when souths win number 22
Oi 3 hats i posted this morning that lowe would sign with souths but you said souths wont sign him and have moved on. And i stated you heard it here first on another post/topic on zt its a great signing mate check my other post elsewhere we need lowe far more than jennings fact.
