this will be different, I think we will get Moses this time

I don't think we will - and I for one will not be the slightest bit upset!

What you hearing?

Hoping pom has an update in relation to Moses, would love a confirmation on what I was told, I was told decision Thursday.
They seemed pretty confident Moses was Concord bound.

don't think we can win a comp with Moses but he is the best available at the moment and we kind of need that big fish for the clubs sake.

By “doing” I mean know where he’s gonna be in 2024 which I certainly do not.... hahaha just stating all parties are still technically at play Demps

"technically" in this case is the equivalent of many teams being "mathematically" able to reach the finals late in the year!

So if Moses stays at Parra, we know the club hasn't changed in terms of landing top tier talent.

Bateman and Klemmer seem like good signings, but let's be honest we only got them because we weren't up against other clubs for their signatures.

I'd be disappointed for sure - but TBH there's no more the club could do.

They went for him, gave him a great offer; and in the end he wanted to stay at Parra. Likely, that was the plan all along to get more out of Parra - so there's some sort of win there.

Just not sure what more we can do (beautiful CoE, stability coaching wise with some supposedly respected names) to attract top tier players, only thing left for us to do is back our juniors to bring success and with that comes a more attractive destination.

 

[Moh]

Yep. He's a Tim moltzen or Moses mbye.

Man, the glimpses Benji/Moltzen combo showed were really something.

I am ambivalent towards Moses coming to the club. However IF Tigers miss out again after offering substantially more money, the salary cap Is a farce. If a player has a genuine registered offer on the table from club S but takes less money at club B there has to be some sort of penalty to the signing club. Clubs can't keep getting the players and the bonus to the salary their clubs salary cap

Gutho's team....?

Moses steers the ship to be fair.

Gutho is just a more athletic version of Josh Reynolds!

Do you also want Moses to captain the Tigers to evolve his game?

He's been there several years should be captain.

Just having fun man 😆

I don't see enough natural footballer in him to suggest he is close to our best player!

His long balls are telegraphed and forced - which naturally gifted ball players simply don't do.

don't forget he cant tackle

 

[tony soprano]

Yep. Those long passes and the inside ball were sweet.

Tedesco’s family too. Didn’t help us any.

AD is better off on the bench..
...covering many positions.........

On less money.

Or Brooks covering half,five eighth, centre or hooker. … on way less money.

Funnily enough they often lead to tries .
Can’t recall too many intercepts.

 

[innsaneink]

I reckon Moses will stay at Parra for less.

You'll have to remind me what season that was when Wests Tigers signed a real top-tier talent from another Australian club.

Unfortunately that's not how it works. You can't just be the highest bidder and that be the end of it.
