Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

I just don't want him. I know he is the best half available, and I know he is very good. But I just don't want Moses to be a big part of us finally turning things around. I would rather finish 8th with Brooks and Doueihi, then 5th with Moses.

I just love that there are no leaks. It has only taken a decade to sought out 🤔😂

Next step a goalkicker 🤔

It might be 9th -> 8th though....or better. Plus the improved club image, which gets us the "next Ponga".

I was dirty on him too; the way he left, but after thinking on it for a while, my stance has softened. I hope he comes "home"!

I get that. Will he make that much difference ? He won't be here next year and will we end up with a guy who isn't that good. He has been playing behind a gun pack with some gun outside backs. He goes missing in games as well.

I like Roumanos.
He looks like my brother.

Anyway, he'll be a good squaddie.
Wish him the best.

other forum says no news today on moses.

Can only think it's due to an announcement in the works for next week. A few scenarios ...

1. Moses signs with Tigers for '24 so contract needs to be lodged with NRL.

2. An arrangement made for Eels to release Moses for '23 and Tigers/Eels working out transfer arrangement (maybe Tigers take Nathan Brown at full freight as well & release a player to Eels).

or my left-field speculator:

3. Eels to announce extension for Moses on same day that Tigers announce signing Dylan Brown for '24.

Benji loves Dylan, it's been previously reported that Dylan wants to stay in western Sydney, Tigers may offer Dylan half-back position which he played in junior rep days which may be enticement to be able to lead the team around the park. I'm sure Dylan had a long kicking game in junior reps too which doesn't get utilised now due to Moses.

Heard the club has an answer and something will come out Friday

Any news? Maybe you can ask your source what the hold up is?

Literally dosent make sense, he is the best half available and can literally turn us into a solid top 6 team but you want to stay fighting to make 8

In a complete turn of events, I am desperate for a leak - and some news on the Moses situation.

Or we sign both Moses and Brown for '24 and the Eels forum implodes 🙂
I do like the idea of Brown as an alternate. Making a large offer to both would also make them have to choose.

Or nothing is happening until the salary cap & CBA is agreed

Or Moses hasn't formally decided

Or Moses and Brown don't end up here and we move to the next plan

Reality is his announcement makes zero difference if it's now or in a few months time.

if i was POM et al i'd be reluctant to leak info if we did sign him though.

Totally get that too. I think we can all agree it's not happening today, either way.

I'd rather finish in the top 8 with moses than in the bottom 4 with brooks and doueihi.

What about 9th with Moses?

 

[Flippedy]

No. No news means there is no news niether good or bad haha

No news is the name of the Wests Tigers off season mini series - it’s repeated on Prime and Fox every year 🙃

He only leaks when the club says it's cool to leak.

Bygones. Don’t really want him here either, but if he came, was committed and played well enough to lead us into the finals, we’ll I wouldn’t begrudge him that. It’s been a long drought. We won’t finish in the top 8 with just Brooks & Doueihi. If we don’t get Moses, we need to get another half desperately!
