Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

[mikey]

i cant see why we they still cant take Peach, and we take Staines and Leinu.. im sure we would have the cap to atleast get creative with it, other things factor in also, how bad Penrith want to Re-up Martin and Crichton ect and who they are willing to release to free up cap ect

The sooner we offload Peachey the better - another dud signing.

Amazing how Moses secured a deal with Eels within days of being told by Ivan that his open deal was being rescinded.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.

Taylor was the handbrake on the "big 4" signing contracts. The club continued to back him and of course those players were going to attract interest from other clubs they were the talk of the town. Moses may have wanted out anyway but given the state of the club at the time and since hard to argue that it wasn't the right decision for his career. If we are still filthy at him for the joke we were and some say still are we havnt learned anything.

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

Exactly the type of impact forward we need

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.

JT put this club back years, Ivan was not a patch on the damage that moron done, but I blame the board for not doing their due diligence, the bloke shouldn't have got an interview, let alone the job

JT wife had a friendship with Go, amazing what a PowerPoint presentation can do to people who have NFI on rugby league like our Board

100% Marina Go was all over that signing I said the same in another thread, and she backed him all the way, which made a bad situation worse

fancy pushing out Robbie for Ballin to start with.
Taylor is on par with Terry lamb as the worst coach we have ever had

They are my worst 2 closely followed by A.Jones bringing up the 3rd position

I hope that he’s not reading all these good comments about him, he might up his asking price.😂

A Jones was Balmain so I didn't count him. As a Rugby Coach winning the Grand Slam was a good success.
As a league coach he just didn't understand the game.

 

[CCTW]

Yes, I would definitely say you are.

He’s received a bad wrap over the years from fans based on what they see on the field and from the Cleary drama.

He’s actually a fairly humble and down to earth kid. He’s never had any off field issues, gives fans the time and respect they deserve (even though fans don’t always reciprocate) and is really well respected by players across the NRL.

Always thought it was a bit ridiculous the claims fans made about him on here without really knowing what happened.

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

Sorry I can't forgive Mose's last few games for us.

Remember we were up by 12 against Parra and we got a penalty in front of the posts. The flog took a quick tap and we went on to lose the game.

That was Moses biggest issue early in his career. He tried to score on every single play rather than trying to game manage. Probably doesn’t help when you’re young and trying to prove your coach wrong. Youthful exuberance.

He would often over play his hand attempting the spectacular far too often. It’s only been the last few seasons he’s got that out of his game and is a much better game manager now.

Same game he was deliberately throwing horrible cut out passes to Nofoaluma when he was easily marked, turning over posession time and again when on the attack. It was so obvious he was trying to lose that game in the 2nd half.

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.

He hadn’t signed (he couldn’t) but he agreed to Parra terms and had told Parra he was coming. Cleary has mates at Parra. Cleary arrived at the Tigers knowing Moses was gone and wouldn’t play his game. That is why the offer was “pulled“.

the rest of it is on Moses

 

[CloudyGlock]

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.”

Fabrication

 

[CloudyGlock]

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.

That is not true. It’s simple. When Cleary arrived,
moses had already agreed to Parra and was playing us. Cleary knew and stopped the game.
play stupid games, win stupid prizes

 

[CloudyGlock]

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

absolute fabrication. Moses had an offer for almost 9 months worth more than Brooks. He signed with Parra for $50k less. He was using Tigers to try to bump up his Parra price. He had already told Parra he was coming

Plus had a crap team around him.

Reality is our club lost their shit when they punted sheens.

I don't begrudge any player for leaving I blame the club for poor management. Yes the club turned their finances around but football management has been disgusting and negligent since sheens left.

Same game he was deliberately throwing horrible cut out passes to Nofoaluma when he was easily marked, turning over posession time and again when on the attack. It was so obvious he was trying to lose that game in the 2nd half.

His post match interview was a disgrace as well. Something along the lines of:
"So Mitch, a lot of talk of you seeking to join the team that you've just played. Do you know which dressing room you're going to walk into?"
"I've got no idea!" (with a great big cheshire cat grin)

His last few weeks with us were an embarrassment. I'd forgive it as youthful naivete to a degree, but he's shown no contrition whatsoever (at least publicly).

Tbh I've heard much the same as CCTW that he's actually quite well liked in RL circles, but there's something about him that rubs fans the wrong way. We're not the only fan base that doesn't like him.
