Tony Squires

Well, he'd been wrapped in cotton wool all week in relation to an ankle problem, but it was today, this morning, as I said, at Gosford, that he went to get into that gallop into a warm-up and felt a twinge in his thigh

And the Blues medical staff realise there's a strain there.

It's been described as a seven-day injury.

So fingers crossed for Panthers fans, for Casey McLean, that he's not out for a significant period.

But, yeah, that's forced the reshuffle of Tolu Kola and Mark Nwana-Nitawaze coming in to the starting line-up for the Blues.

He has a giggle.

About the way I say Marky Mark.

Yeah, this is good news for Panthers fans as they go through this process of trying to juggle their salary cap with so many stars off contract at the Panthers.

But Tom Jenkins being in unbelievable form, career best form.

Deserve probably be Jack Bostock has earned this shadow player replacement player call up as a result of today's injuries at the blues.

I would say that Jenkins may have been in the discussion, such as his form and being on the end of a outstanding Panthers backline.

He's re-signed with the club, a new three-year deal through until the end of 2029.

A great result for Jenkins.

His career was, you know, all about only 12 months ago.

Had a crack at the Knights.

Came back to Penrith for a chance and has scored a new deal.

Parramatta were very keen on getting Jenkins.

They wanted him.

The Eels are desperately scouring the NRL for some red-hot talent in their back line.

They want to replenish there.
