I agree with all of this except your final two sentences.
Mitch left in the worst way possible.
He threw games and faked mental health conditions to gain his release.

Pretty poor form in my book to call someone out ‘faking’ mental illness, how do you know ?

He had a miraculous recovery

That’s simply untrue.

exactly - Newcastle thought he was the difference between top 8 and not

And lots of other clubs would be interested except his price tag is ridiculous

Is that what they told you?

Couldn’t agree more.

A good forward pack won't change his short kicking game 😬

 

[tony soprano]

Sure Mitch dying to be coached by Trent barrette 😂

Buzz writing tomorrow questioning Moses loyalty to parra.

Says eels have offered him more than $1m a season but has received bigger offers from bulldogs and WT . Then goes on a spill about loyalty

 

[Tucker]

No one has been able to get him because he’s never been left to negotiate…
Cameron Smith came out and said Bellamy wanted to have a crack at him…
Didn’t come to fruition because we extended him early and here we are…

You know how it goes though - if the truth doesn’t line up with your take on it… just invent a new truth

Bellamy didnt put up much of a fight

Buzz working his magic to convince Moses to stay at Eels.. There is no way Eels are making the GF next year with the players they have lost and will be lucky to make the 8. If he wanted to stay I would of thought it would of been done by now so the Eels can announce it and drive memberships sales etc..

Dogs seem to have an unlimited Salary cap and they are a big concern but I might be bias here but I think Tigers is a better option for Moses if he leaves due to the players we have added and the whole turnover in players / coaching for the better.

Buzz needs to retire as he changes stories every week to suit an agenda and it blows my mind how he has not been tapped on the shoulder yet.

Quite possibly the most sensible post of the day, week or month. I'm thinking Month!

The eels must be paying for his lap dances.

The goal posts will shift again.
They'll say his outside men aren't good enough.
The guy has been protected from day dot.

I agree while everyone else has been sent to reserves and openly criticised Brooks has been shielded, why I'm not sure, if Bateman comes and he doesn't fire Moses with us or not he has to go.

If all goes well and we get Moses this could be our team in 2024 I believe..... pretty impressive - backline a little unpredictable but from the players we have currently that’s how I’d line up

Where is Stains?

Hastings article today was an interesting read. Personally think it really shows the professionalism of Jacko and Sheens. Many have questioned the decision, but for a player who received a major pay upgrade and a long term deal in the position they prefer, to turn around and vent to the media about their former club rather than focus on their new club that has made a major investment speaks volumes. Sheens reaction in contrast shows the level of professionalism to the club, player and opposing club that it deserves.

On Moses, very very positive signs. Personally, i think this will get done minus a last minute change of heart from Parra in terms of pay. The figures getting thrown around are definitely overstated. Deal from the Tigers is around 950k-1.1m under the cap across the years (about 100-200k in TPAs) with Parra under that and the Dogs offering similar/slightly more over the last 2 years. However, its between Parra and the Tigers. Moses has no hard feelings towards the Tigers and is eager to play with Brooks and work with Sheens, Benji and Robbie. Currently in the US, however will inform the club this week on his return.

Bishops news this week was fairly spot on, hence the reluctancy to commit to a timeline for annoucement. With Isaac Moses managing both Bateman and MM the annoucement will be delayed until the club is certain with what is happening with MM and the possibility of MM arriving in 2023. If he was able to be granted an immediate release, the Bateman deal would be slightly restructured to accomodate MM in 2023. This is extremely unlikely, as i personally can't see Parramatta letting him go early and have stated as much to strong arm him into staying.

In other news, To'o will be staying at Penrith and it is also very likely that Crichton will reject a big money offer from the Bulldogs to stay barring further offers/upgraded offers. Burton will be staying at the dogs after rejecting the first two extension offers and will be on 900k+ rising to 1m in the 3rd and 4th years. Personally think this is a good deal for both parties given the rise in the cap and Burtons age/potential. Farnworths manager has been speaking to a few clubs but think he will be at the Dolphins with the money they are offering. Dom Young getting a ton of offers and will be out of Newcastle if they cannot get close to matching.

I see that you are online @CCTW, so any news?

Edit: should have refreshed before asking.
