Im not sure we should be chasing Moses? In 2017 we offered him $3m for 3 years, then he told us the off field circus was a joke and took $750k pa at Eels. I think we already have enough of this DNA in Benji, Tim and Robbie, all of whom will see the red flags of a repeat a long way off.

At the end of the day Parra pack are ridiculously good this year Moses has been very good too.

One thing to note is we have stopped the back-ended contracts that got us into cap trouble all those years ago.
Yes…we have made dud purchases, but they haven’t been compounded by big yearly salary increases.
Overall, I think the club is more astute in managing the cap. Player selection has been the issue of late…
Cleary picked 4 duds on big salaries which killed us for 3-4 years. Add Brooks who is being paid well above his worth and you have the 2022 Wests Tigers in a nutshell.
Finally, we are 1 year away from clearing the mess that was created by Ivan (mainly the Brooks contract) and we have some decent money to hit the market with.
Api and Papi are good value signings for what they will bring. The club did exceptionally well there.
I can’t believe the death riding that is going on!

Apparently there’s a new Tommy Raudonikis grandstand which is quite something.

Good point. And he also admitted that advantage, post game in defence of Brooks. He acknowledged the advantage he had over his mate, which I thought was a kind gesture.

Hearing Nofo to French rugby on a big dollar deal.

Please let this be true. Then we can go after a winger who can run straight, defend, defuse bombs, turn up to training sober, and not blame his teammates on social media for his shit defense.
Nope 🙅♂️

I think I called it for what it was.
Bad recruitment on high salaries for long contracts.
Since Sheens left our pathways have been neglected.
Back-ended contracts (under Sheens).
We seem to have learnt from the mistakes of the past because on the surface these things have or are being addressed.
We probably have more in common than you think about how the club has been run. Check my post history. For every positive, I will happily outline the negatives.
I’m just optimistic about the future with Sheens and Benji until such time as they give me reason not to be, but no doubt we need a few things to go our way.
That doesn’t mean I don’t think anyone else’s concerns about Sheens are invalid…it’s a topic that was always going to have differing opinions. I guess what we can all agree on though is that time will tell.
I’m realistic enough to realise that regardless of our opinions, it all comes from the right place which is we want the Tigers to be successful.
