Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

Appears Moses holds all the cards.

If we were to get Moses for 2023 it would still take a while for him to gell with the team and new look spine. Missing most of a pre season is not ideal.

Let's hope we hear some news either way on Moses today.

Like the idea WT and playing nasty and looking at signing Parramatta's junior gun half back if Moses fails. This is a great step forward for the club.

Of course. It confirms the obvious. So much greyness, so much deception. The cap's simply not working because of it. Thanks for passing it on twentyforty!

Been saying it for years, it’s not like it is ground breaking news. Of course the same rorts are not restricted to third party deals. You can do the same sort of thing unofficially with a players contracts. Wives getting bogus jobs, the possibilities are endless. Near impossible to police and the NRL certainly will not do anything that might upset the apple cart

Moses was recently married and has a new family so I can understand his attention may be elsewhere. We just need to this into account.

You reckon Lee ever thinks to himself “I’m a senior office holder at a NRL club. I probably shouldn’t publicly comment on this…”

It would be easy to come to the conclusion that there are lots of times that Lee doesn't think before opening his mouth.

When I read this, your comments are exactly what I was thinking.
Maybe Lee and Benny can be our media representatives and also do the post match pressers. 😡

@THE_POM are you hearing anything new, think we're close to knowing one way or another? The moses meeting with Parra mentioned in the media this week had an air of finality about it one way or another. I think we're out of the race, but I know nothing.

A new born baby is not easy and first child for mum and dad he is not thinking football but if the Parramatta choice was so easy it would have been done by now I think he is out the door or has at least a leg is and if Parramatta have a wonder kid number 7 they mite not need Moses after two years

New star Eel in waiting

Eels fans worried at losing Mitchell Moses for 2024 can breathe a little easier following the emergence of a superb young prospect from within their own ranks

Ethan Sanders is just 19 and starred for the Eels in the Flegg Cup last year.

There's a bit of Trent Barrett in his play and he has all the skills to make it to the top.

The club has their eyes on him and he'll challenge Jake Arthur for the number seven jumper should Moses make the leap to the Tigers or Bulldogs in 2024.

Does anyone else get the feeling that Parra may have had a big play in getting this article out to the public.... maybe they're getting a feeling Moses may be moving on and wanna assure their fans they have a junior star waiting regardless and it may not be the end of the world

Also, the less you hear about what Moses may be doing as days go by - the better our chances

I'm tired of hearing about Moses, but actually hearing nothing. Either sign or don't, but bloody hell! Just make a decision!!

We will face the same sort of competition in our endeavours to sign the young kid from Parra as with the likes of Moses. He will be in hot demand and we have a bad track record once in bidding wars. As always Gus will be our major hurdle

 

[bathursttiger1]

If Moses is staying and the Ethan Sanders thing is true, I have no doubt we’ll again be battling against the Bulldogs for him. I don’t think we’ve ever beaten Gus to a signing: TPJ, Ciraldo etc.

There’s always a first time for everything.

Thats why a players worth should be what the highest bidder is willing to pay. For example Rorters offer Tedesco "700k"( plus the under the table money) . Tigers offer 1.2 M. .As the market has now determined Tedescos value , he now costs the Rorters 1.2 m out of their salarycap not the bogus 700K . There is no restraint of trade , Tedesco can sign where ever he wants & the Rorters can sign him if they think he is worth taking 1.2 m out of there salary cap. Open & transparent . We had a discussion on this a little while ago & there are a few more rules to add but if anyone is interested we can start another thread.

Moses is still Moses, can we relax a bit. You don't really lose if you miss out on a proven tanker and "banker." Yes hes talented and I'd be fine with it from a footy perspective etc... but...also...yuck

Maybe, in the not too distant future, we will become Goulds major hurdle !
Now wouldn’t that be great…

Exactly my thoughts 👍

 

[fainty]

It’s more the drama just dragging on and on and on…I just want an answer so we can put this all to bed and move on.

I think most on here , see it going the same way the LATTRELL signing went . He lead us up the garden path, while always going to the rabbits. I still believe SHEENS has a plan B , so I will hope that it s true .

Any word about when BATEMAN will arrive????

Any word about when BATEMAN will arrive????

I read somewhere when he signed he was expected mid January so I’m guessing next week. Not sure though.

I also heard Coach Sheens saying that the club has an immigration lawyer acting for them, hoping to get Bateman here by end of January.
