Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

I want to know have we offered Farnsworth a contract for 2024?.

Moses is a good half, he's no Cleary but can get a job done, is he the missing piece of the puzzle we need I doubt it, I think we need to sort our forward pack out first then start looking at everything else. That's just me though. If we miss out on him life goes on, I look at it this way how many of the grand final winning teams did Moses play in, in the last 5 years. So he might be helpful toward success but he isn't nessisary for it.

That was my thinking from the start. Forwards to be sorted first. Once they are on par with the best teams, the spine then backs needs to be sorted. A good fullback would do wonders.

Moses will stay at Parra. The cap rise has done nothing to help this situation.

I am expecting Bateman to be announced tomorrow afternoon.

 

[OzLuke]

Hate to see him not helping

Only person Benny ever wants to help is himself

 

[Muffstar]

I am sure i am in a minority but i hope that we miss out on Moses.

On the Parra forum they seem confident he has already re-signed.

We havnt had a dominant pack for ages, Cleary last year wouldn't have done bugger all behind our pack. In saying that iv no doubt he would have done loads better than Brooks, but iv been a huge critic of the guy, but even I can admit we won't see what he's capable of till he can play behind a pack that's on the front foot

Will be really surprised if he does otherwise

Want others opinions ...but has us chasing Moses as hard as we have been a waste of time ??

Maybe we should have chased a more realistic target .....

 

[Telltails]

Moses is definitely capable of leading a team to a GF win its just that they don't come easily for any club or player. You get yourself to the top 4/5 and you put yourself in a position to have a crack and then it will come down to more than one player to get the job done.
In saying that cant see him leaving Parra.

 

[trentrunciman]

Yeah from all the comments unfortunately it seems we won’t land Moses. Real shame. But that means there will be an opportunity for someone else to play halfback

 

[Scare]

RTS is serious about making a return to the NRL .. Dolphins are circling for his service .. here’s hoping Benji jumps in and has a little word with him before uncle Benny gets him.

I would do some unspeakable things to get rts to join the tigers

I'd be happy getting Moses on a train and trial contract.

“while Fogarty just needed a coach to believe in him and give him some confidence.”
Like Brooksy.

How could you say these are similar situations? Brooks has been given every opportunity by every coach he's played under. Fogarty was playing Q Cup

wish granted, not coming.

Short term pain long term gain.

Who is your half for next year mate ? How far away are the young gun halves, do we get to see them debut in NSW Cup or 1st grade towards end of 2023?

If we do miss out on MM, it will have cost Parra a lot more to keep him so that will hamper they with the cap for years to come.😍

Can I ask why you feel that way?

He had a reported 6 months to sign an upgraded contract which he did not do (no issues with that)and then carried on when the contract was withdrawn insinuating that he was "not valued or wanted "by the club.The percieved lack of trying so he could leave the club and go to pawwa was the last straw for me.
I can not think of any player i would like to see less than him at our club

I answered this question earlier but I'll repeat myself - Brooksy the legend. We are going to see an elite level half next season.

It’s possible Mitch was a pawn in a game played by Wests and the agent. Our club didn’t react well.?

Stuffed around with Moses and pulled the contract,Cleary thought his son might be coming to Tigers until he said dad I ain't coming why don't you coach here instead

I think this is a pretty big misread of the situation. The agent who represents the players did try and screw us over but that was on the players behalf. We bent over backwards for all of them and they screwed us.
