I have been told from an "impeccable" source that Gaz has been offered a 3 year deal with Penrith Panthers.



The move has been agreed in principle and Gareth is off to Australia shortly to finalise the detail and to sort out his house etc.



Watch this space.

If it's true then he would be stupid to turn it down.



It will only take a couple more English players to go over before the flood gates open and they take all of our best players.

Already signed 5 year deal with Wigan, apparently.

Assuming he was going to re-join us next year when his ban was over, this is, if true, really dissapointing for us, but I wouldn't blame the lad if he did go.

No way pal, just rumours!!

thought no rugby club could have any dealings with him whilst serving his 2 year ban?

True or not, I don't think it would be a good move for him.



With the greatest of respect, I'm not sure Gareth has the right personality to adapt to a completely different lifestyle in Australia.

Of course it will always be a rumour until such time there is an official statement.



But like I said, my information is an "impeccable" source.

I disagree.



I think the Penrith/Sydney lifestyle is right up his street!

Yeh, OK.

i heard it from the horses mouth this morning hes flying out before the end of the week!!!!!!

Thought he had a offer from Wigan and had been training the house down?



If true though you can't blame him a totally fresh start and a chance to test yourself against the best.
