Premiers Penrith are poised to make their first forward signing for next season - former Storm veteran Tom Eisenhuth. The 31-year-old - who played 18 games for Melbourne this year - is expected to start in the Panthers' second tier as their 30-man roster is full. But he is certain to be called into the top side at some stage of the year, most likely during the State of Origin period, where his experience will be invaluable. The Dragons are also keen on Eisenhuth, but he is believed to be close to accepting terms at Penrith. Eisenhuth has had a somewhat bizarre career - he made his top-grade debut at the Panthers in 2012, playing just one game. He then moved to Melbourne and had to wait more than 2300 days for his next game in the NRL, but he has proved a handy back-up for the Storm and will add to the Panthers' depth.
