Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

I honestly believe Madge just wasn’t here at the rite time. With a coach like Madge he can only get the best out of players for a couple of seasons then they just end up busted and over his tough training. Alex Johnson told me him self. So if Madge happened to be here when we had a better roster who knows what would have happened

He was doomed. Blokes on a million who weren’t here to win they came here to collect $

Someone on the NBA broadcast commented on a difference between players like Kevin Durant, and Steph Curry/LeBron James.
They are all basketball legends, and the GOATS in their positions, the difference they commented on was that KD plays for fun/love of basketball and Curry/James play to win.
For some time (perhaps from Farah?) we miss players that play to win.

I truly think the game has passed Madge…. Doubt he will ever gig a NRL head coaching gig again

I watched the NZ V Aus game in Wollongong a few years ago. The best I could describe the way NZ played was grey. For the team NZ had on the field, I expected much more although the usual stars such as Manu and Smith performed well.

Seems to me we have had a few big stars come to Tigerland and just don't seem the same .Its like you say goals change from make finals, win premiership, play SOO and other rep footy to now in back third of their career get good salary 2 or 3 years and no pressure
I really hope Api and Isaiah don't fall into this category

Yeah it's no loss to us. If Parra has to pay an extra 100-200k on top it helps us in recruitment in the future.

In my eyes it's win, win. We get our guy or we knock competition from any future signings, remember we offered about 1.1 - 1.2 a year including kpa's according to Buzz. So that's a loose figure but I'd reckon about 1.1. If the Eels sign Moses they'll loose Brown for sure or completely stuff their cap on their halves, iv heard the dolphins are going in for 1.25 for Brown. So even if he remains at Parra they've got about 2.1 mil invested in the halves plus 850 - 900k for Gutho. Just those 3 alone would take up close to a third of the cap, leaving 27 players on 2/3 of what's left. If they both stayed it would be a nightmare juggling act for them to maintain a top team, they could only afford one good prop, second rower and back and the rest journeymen or juniors.

I didn't understand how Moses affected Bateman coming but apparently if Moses doesn't come they will front load Batemans contract next year if Moses does come then they will restructure Batemans deal so we can get both of them under the cap next year the club and manager are working through it atm. Apparently they both have the same manager Moses relative, he's slime but if it hurts Parra then he's OK. That's according to the media though.

How would you class Benji?
 
it just makes sense for Moses to come home. He has great relationship with Benj; Farah; Brooks; Nathan Brown; Papalii. I always thought it was nice when Benj personally congratulated Moses on his debut. Also nice to see posts of people seeing Moses training with AD.

If you look at the whole situation impartially you would be surprised if he re-signed with the eels. I know his old man is a die hard eels fan though and big reason why he went to the Eels in 2017.

Teddy used to live at moses house when they were younger so if Moses comes home hope teddy will too

Don't forget RCG and Paulo on 700-800k each.

Gutho on 800k I think

Let’s hope it’s easier now than it was in 2017.
