Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

Actually no, most people said he was a 'Storm system' player, wouldn't be able to replicate the same form once he had to be the main man with a new coach and tactics.

Honestly, I think the overall sentiment was positive, but we all view things in our own way.

You should do a poll!

I think we’re playing semantics now. Yes he signed on a train and trial deal, but left soon after. Because he didn’t see out any real time at the club, I’d call that a deal that fell over.

There is little information about why he went back to PNG.

If you can find me an article that states we let him go because of fitness, I’d love to read it because I always wondered why it didn’t work out with him. Would have been a great player based on his recent performance at least.

I thought he never made it into the country because of COVID.
I don’t recall any news about Gebbie actually joining the team for training.

Yeah, I think the system they’ve got in place at the moment under Matt Betsey is slowly progressing and was quite successful this year.

Some extremely talented kids in the system + good recent junior recruitment, with the likes of Fa’agutu joining us next year from QLD etc.

Will only improve as Betsey’s in the Pathways job longer in my opinion.

Not sure on trial situation.

Agreed. But by the time Cleary arrived he had already agreed to Parra terms

He definitely had not signed with Parra before Cleary arrived. Cleary put Moses' offer on hold so he then signed with Parra and his attitude dropped badly because of Ivan's decision and the situation became untenable when Mitch started tanking games.
 
Cloudyglock

any other players we looking at out side our club upgrades , players from bench or reserves at other clubs outside panthers
 
Moses version of events as per the Tele

Cleary was in charge at the Wests Tigers when Moses was told he could leave and given a backhander on his way out. It was a decision that handed Moses to the Eels and left a bitter taste in the mouth of the young half.

Moses was ropable at the time, telling News Corp at the end of the 2017 season that he was heartbroken when he sat down at a meeting with Cleary and former Tigers football manager Kelly Egan, where they pulled a lucrative extension off the table.

Parramatta were gift wrapped the halfback who has finally buried the curse of the Eels No.7 jersey. The Tigers were left to pick up the pieces after Cleary left at the end of 2018 to join his son Nathan at Penrith.

“It was heartbreaking,” Moses said at the time.

“It ripped my heart out what they did. I didn’t see a point in staying there if they didn’t see a future with me after they pulled my deal.

“If someone comes into your work and says ‘look we don’t need you anymore’, you’re not going to feel welcomed.”

The real world of Cleary dumping him thinking his son would come.
Heard he was told he was dropped to reserves only to then be named in the squad … a few times.
Cleary playing mind games.

The obsession with Cleary at the time was over the top.All believed he would lead us to the promised land and Moses was not in his plans - so we all jumped on board liked a feeding frenzy. Yes he could have signed the deal that was apparently on the table but given the shit show under JT no player wanted to commit to the club and for good reason.
