Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

Only reason he went is be

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.

I get a feeling Mitch is a spoilt kid, just a feeling I get sometimes.
Am I wrong?

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.”

Moses had a ready to sign contract at hand for a long time and didn't.

Already agreeing to terms with the eels is another matter, so jog on for mine.

the way cleary acted with the dishonesty with the club and signing with Penrith, demonstrated behaviour
I think in this instance Moses is correct to be annoyed, cleary pulled the contract he then went to Parramatta
Still think Moses is a DH but cleary and wests tigers didn't want him

It's the hight of being a hypocrite he did the exact same thing.

Spoilt & very talented haha.
Whether they go hand in hand,
I'm not very sure, but he was
a stud since Holy Cross days

I don’t think that fee comes under the cap. The only thing stopping us paying it if we want Bateman is the cheap bastards at wests Ashfield who value $$$ over results

Or maybe the coaching staff have had a closer look at videos of his performances in 2022 and decided to pass.

 

[diedpretty]

I think it is quit impressive that nothing is leaking out of the club any more the place was like a sieve a few months ago

It certainly was - i wonder what changed??😎

 

[Tiger913]

Spencer Leinu?

We need to do this ! Penrith will struggle to retain, management need to make a hard push at Leinu or Leota, money should talk.

There’s a lot more to the story, Issac Moses wanted total control of the Wests Tigers squad.
He already had the big 4 Webster, Payten and he also wanted us to sign Joe Webhe.
Issac would have screwed us completely the same way he stuffed the Broncos.

 

[Tiger913]

Ok so most on here want LENUI , so we have the cap to make him a offer that he can’t say no , he’s no super star but he will want to look after him self , so decent offer over 3-4 years , u would think it gets him , BUT wait the drag queens or the knights or titans will sign him on a lesser amount because we seem to just sit on our arse . Sorry for the rant but getting really pissed with no signings

Superstar or not, he runs like an absolute Bull, we dont have that ! and we need that haha

St Merge are also trying to get Leinu.

 

[Tiger913]

gossip on monday said Lenui can/will be released early-but snag seemed to be they take Stains also-?

I have never rated Stains, have mates who are Riff lifers and they dont rate him either, but if it means we can get someone like Lenui, it has to be worth it.

 

[Demps]

Staines & Leinu package deal,

Why not !!

Shades of the Fifita/ Gibbs deal to the Sharks.
It worked out great for the Sharks, a dud for us.

Just a coincidence that his uncle was the manager of all three defectors hay????
Rubbish this was a plan by Mitch his uncle and the two other idiots to hold the tigers over a barrel!
Don’t believe the hype,
it’s a sequel!

 

[jirskyr]

I don’t believe a word either of those two #### heads says. You will never get the truth out of em.

Amazing how Moses secured a deal with Eels within days of being told by Ivan that his open deal was being rescinded. Prick could have signed it any time the previous 6 months.

If by "spolit kid" you mean "twat", then yes.

The kid has always been surrounded by prominent rugby league people, which might be the root of his self-entitlement.

Staines & Leinu package deal,

Why not !!

This is the only way id feel good about taking on Stains contract. Leinu would have this pack looking nice. and straight up if i was a forward or backrower, Id want to play with API
