Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

[Mighty_Tiger]

If talks are continuing & people are meeting face to face then it’s sounds like it’s still game on

Re the $7m over 5yrs so $1.4m per year all the talk prior was that included 3rd party deals, if that’s the case then he won’t be getting $1.4m on the cap.

People have also said if someone throws a $7m deal its a no brainer just sign it. It is if everything is actually arranged and signed from the offer side. There has been a constant with the talks that 3rd party deal’s weren’t actually locked in from both ours and parra side mixed with the cba could be why everything has taken a longer time than expected.

People have said don’t get MM at that price because he won’t win a GF. Who knows if that will come true or not but our team with MM we have a higher chance of being in a position to contest for one than the current alternative options contesting for 9th spot does. I do agree $1.4m is overs for Mitch especially knowing we are going to need cap room for some of the best juniors going around if Sheens is right but reports are the cap over next few years is going to continue to increase unless the CBA offsets the increases into off field support costs hence why the CBA & 3rd party deals is important in such a big deal.

Wild twist in Moses battle as Bulldogs make move

As $500k transfer fee gets teen out of Broncos

t.co

Tony Adams use to have a good scoop pool from
Sheens but is guessing here - doubt anything is being leaked atm.

100% look at the teams That went out and purchased experienced half cowboys and broncos both improved out of site

Look at the teams who got rid of experienced halfs knights and titans both went so far backwards

Mitch is just what we need plays the perfect style if attacking football sheens and benji will be looking for

You make a couple of very valid points but I'm still not keen on having that maggot scum bag back with us.

I suppose we could always honour him by naming one of the toilet cubicles at Leichhardt Oval after him, which shows how much respect I have for the low life.

and now.

The Dolphins 2023 NRL squad and development players | Sporting News Australia

Dolphins coach Wayne Bennett has added three more names to his squad for 2023.

www.sportingnews.com

There is Zero way you are getting Jesse + Kenneth Bromwich, Felise Kaufusi, Mark Nichols, the Dolphins have an impressive front row.

Spine is Marshall + Sean O'Sullivan + Anthony Milford + Jaymayne Isakko

Add Hammer and others, The dolphins have a great squad that they would be no where near getting without Wayne Bennett.

Yes they did not sign Munster, etc. They will sign a "gun". Wayne is building his sides right. I expect them to be top 8 minimum.

Great squad? The forward pack is experienced but on the decline. The Storm needed a fresh start in the forwards to be honest.

That spine makes ours look like the Panthers spine last year. Terrible.

No depth either. Favourites for the spoon no doubt.

I don't care if we get him or not but I love the fact if the Dogs have withdrawn (which makes sense) then buzz 'dont know anything' drunkard Rothfield is wrong again. Didn't he say the Dogs were favourites? Gutter bias journalism targeting teams he doesn't like.

But ST remember the journalists creed,

Reckon the Dragons have gone to favourites for the spoon with the Amone issues and Ramsay gone for the year ......

We have the forwards. Need a good half. Moses is the best of the available options and junior halfbacks need years developing even after they have debuted.

Your first four words are most pertinent, especially in regards to the previous couple of posts from @finnzo.

Will never be overly keen on Moses again for other reasons, and he is the ultimate flat track bully. Still, he is though perfectly suited behind a decent forward pack, which should be very much the case this season onwards for WT, and is easily the best halves option on the market.

I think his share price rose on the back of 2 games. Playing busted for Blues and he also stood up for Eels when a few of his teammates could have done better.

This is what I hate. We accepted Nofo for Overs, 500k + 5 years.

I am prepared to say "yes" to 5 years, but 5 years at 1 mil. I am prepared to say yes to 3 years at 1.4. With who we recruited we should not be signing these teamkiller deals.

Don't worry about the money, the CAP is going up heaps in the 5 years....$2.0m will be marquee wages in 5 years, which will make Moses money look paltry.

So...is the recent Moses news genuine or nah?

Blame the Managers....and a spineless NRL Hierarchy - they take on the RLPA but are gutless to take on the Managers...The players will get what they can, can't blame them MM, is in his prime, his only shot to get a decent contract....

Don't blame Moses at all ..blame the hierachy of the game ...Super League still hangs over the game like a guillotine .....

Hastings will be in line for back to back spoons with knights. They have lost there best forward

 

[diedpretty]

He also has enough in him to tell the forward pack when they're not doing their job...
We could also use a bit of that, Could use a lot of his goal kicking....

Still a gazillion to one to turn his back on Parra though....
Can't help but feel we're just a little more leverage for him

And thats ok too - even if he stays with them on lower coin they still have to up their offer. Their cap is out of whack already - don't mind adding to that. And the egos at Parra - i can already imagine Gutho is whingeing about Browns deal.

Really?
He came into a side that had flogged QLD 76-6 in just 2 games and helped them lose game 3.
Whilst I agree Moses is the best available, he is an average player.

Easily a Top 4 halfback in the comp in my opinion.

That part is very true. Mitch is probably also the most capable half of playing a style of eyes up football whilst also getting a team around the park.
