HOT on the heels of extending the contract of boom prop Tim Grant for another four seasons, Penrith have turned their sights to wrapping up Lachlan Coote long term.
The Panthers this week put a three-year deal on the table for Coote - who is off contact at the end of 2011.
The Windsor Wolves junior knocked back a similar approach a few months back, and his faith paid dividends in what is understood to be a much-improved offer.
We've heard, however, the Roosters would also be interested in talking to Coote as replacement for champion custodian Anthony Minichiello, who is expected to finish up at Bondi next year.
