In Yesteryear CB....
Will be another (If not 2) cap rises in his time.
Bought a lettuce lately?

Put in perspective it's expected.
Any conversation for Moses would have started at 1.2...

Keep in mind DCE and Taumalolo have been on a Million for the best part of a decade.
1.4 in 2 years is no more unfathomable than 1.0 was in 2014...
Farah was on 900k way back, Townsends on 800k....
1.4 will be the standard price for a half in the very near future,

Probably more if they don't start making a few more of them.

Definitely agree, BB.

I am not Sheens or Marshall so my opinion is just that opinion.
I'd we get Moses it is clear he is coming to play with Brooks in the halves
Where does that leave AD centre lock or fullback. Who knows under Sheens coaching he may go well at fullback

 

[cktiger]

So you have written him off as a 6?

Of course he has... if Moses is half then where would his mate Brooksy play? 🤣 🤣

 

[Tom Brbyb]

I can confirm Moses will stay with the Eels.

He has been stringing the Tigers along to eek a few more dollars out of the Eels.

 

[Kelce68]

For a little perspective -

(and I understand these figures are are for '23 (speculated by NRL), but there's no confirmation on the '24 cap as of yet...)

- $1.4 million/season represents 11.6% of a 12.1 million dollar salary cap (2023)

- With the 2022 cap last year at 9.6 million, an equivalent salary of 11.6% of the cap would've been 1.11 million/season

As much as this number sounds inflated, it's in many ways relative to the cap which is rising all the time. If that figure is locked over the contract, the value will only be better the longer the contract.

Let's wait and see. If AD kills it at 6 it'll be hard to move him on. Moses doesn't pick the team.

And where’s your proof from buddy

 

[Tom Brbyb]

Eels offering 1.1 for 4 years, but generous TPAs as well, he's very happy stay at Parramatta.

I've always thought he definitely isn't coming and I'm cool with that but he now looks a certainty to be here.

That would be the way i see it and i have zero contacts in football these days

I suppose beggars can't be choosers. Doueihi wants just shy of a million apparently, I'd rather fork out the extra half a mil and bring Moses back if they're the choices.

Let be realistic. Cleary isn’t going anywhere and Moses is probably the next best option.

I’m not a huge Moses fan but if we miss out on him we are looking at at least 3-4 years before we have anyone better. There simply aren’t any better options on the horizon.

It's all just manager games. He is 100% staying at the Eels.

Me too. Not sure what Moses is really worth but I’m more confident that AD is worth about $400k shy of $900k if he’s really asking for that much.

Yes and that will make Moses well overpaid.

Bula’s not even a Development Player at the moment, just on a Jersey Flegg/NRL train-and-trial contract.

But he could be upgraded to the 30 if Seyfarth’s spot is freed up.

It's amazing Sheens sees something in a youngster whose emergence will assist with our lack of pace in the backline. Do you see him first as a winger when he debuts?

Just like when you said “Karl Oloapu has already agreed to a deal with Dolphins, Bulldogs talk is hot air.” 🤔

I agree with you Tom and with intelligent fans like you, why wouldn’t he stay at Parra.
Are you going to be wearing the latest, “special” beanie at Eels games this year?

and you see AD as the 6 in 2024 do you ???

Is that the one with 86 embroidery on the side?
