There's a lot of noise about Moses leaving Parra which seems to get louder, whilst there's a lot of noise about Moses potentially coming to us and we seem somewhat confident (which is the mail I got as well) which also seems to get louder.... I thought about it and I think the lure to come to us is there, here's why:
- Sheens was at the club when Moses was a kid and from all reports they had a good relationship and Sheens is a very good operator I feel comfortable with him in control of recruitment selling the vision
- Benji will be the head coach in 2025, the lure of playing under your childhood hero at your boyhood club will be massive esp with Benji promoting the idea of Moses being able to play a brand of football which would intrigue him (that stuff matters) he went on Benji's show twice last year too... very good relo between the two and as soon as Benji was announced the next day the Moses news came out - there's a reason for that
- Playing with his best mate in the halves.... him and Brooks have and still hold a very tight relo together the idea of reuniting and rewriting there history together is promising
- Most importantly.... $ will be incredible for him he'll get more coin with us by all reports somewhere in the vicinity of 200-250k more a year - trust me on this with his young family money will be priority
- His relo with Farah (lebo connection) is also strong, Farah is a recruiter as well he'll be in his ear as well.... not sure about AD but they may be close too
- Our latest recruits will help attract stars Moses knows Papalili better than anyone in terms of ability as they had so much success together last season, also Api as his 9 he knows he'll have some space and quality helping him in the spine and mongrel forwards like Klemmer, Bateman and potentially Brown as well along with what we already have here and the hype around our juniors too
- We've held I think 2-3 meetings with Moses management from all reports, whenever he does a tour of our COE he'll know first hand the leaps we've taken from a facility perspective as he lived it in 2016 state of the art facilities will definitely be an attraction
Sorry for the bible verse... but the idea of Moses coming seems to be gaining traction and personally I think it isn't so far fetched we can be a powerhouse come 2024
