Yeh but there is nothing else out there. That s the issue. I honestly don't mind if he doesn't come as long as we have a plan in place. Moses is the David Warner of NRL, goes great at home on a flat track but take him out of his comfort zone and goes to water.Even allowing for the cap increase that is a horrible horrible horrible deal for us.
We have to remember, that while Moses is a better player then Brooks, he chokes just as many if not more big moments than Luke does. So if your talking 1.4m and 5 years, your not just talking about a half that can help get you to the finals, your talking about a half that nails big moments more often then not.
Last year Moses choked in game winning situations a number of times. Missed goal against us, missed field goals against us, missed easy goal against Penrith. He failed in the big moments everytime. That's not a 1.4m player.
You only sign a half for that money and for 5 years if he has proven he can win the comp. IMO Moses is generally a better 7 than Brooks, i dont think anyone argues that, but he is no better then Luke in the clutch plays.
1.4m.... 5 years...please no.
