Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

I still think Moses stays at the Eels, to me we and to a lesser extent the dogs are just pawns to get his deal up at Parra. The lure of playing with Brooks again is a myth imo, just my gut feeling nothing more.

I don't think my post one way or another showed any favoritism or bias, I am simply adding my thoughts with the information we have at hand.

My apologies, I wasn't implying that
you were in particular, was just
speaking generally when Doueihis
name was brought up. I can't find
any articles claiming that he was
wanted $900,000 after searching.
It was mentioned on here several
times on here though. Around the
time he said he was happy to play
halves in reggies to prove himself

This myth has been perpetuated on
here for the last 6 months because of
1 poster who doesn't like him. Makes
me sick having to read about it every
other week. DT reported that storm and
Bellyache wanted AD in August last
year on loan but got Nofa instead.
He only played a handful of games
last year coming back from ACL.
People are too bias on here, they'd rather talk about how he slipped
off a couple of tackles instead
of how he played in 2021 & won us games
single handedly off the boot or with
tries. The favoritism and bias
on here is too much sometimes. The
better player should always get the nod —
both Doueihi & Brooks have both got
an opportunity to stake their claims
this year. Beyond that its fantasy coach talk

Adam should excel under the Sheens game plan, I’m looking forward to him breaking the line & seeing him at his best. Expecting a big year from him. He is alot better than 22 season but so are some other players.

If Mitch signs I do expect Luke to be extended it’s just the obvious move but would love it if the club held off and allowed Adam & Luke to battle it out for a good 8 rounds then snap into decision mode.

Adam shouldn’t really be 2nd option he should be viewed level at least with Brooks roster wise as things stand atm.

It didn't come from no where, It was on the back end of another article,
(Might have been the Hastings Brooks Newcastle thing...)
I'm thinking it was a fox article, I read it at the time - As did lots of my mates who support other teams.... - You'll see other forums also mention it.

Was plenty of chirp about it back then,
Couldn't repeat it verbatim, But it said he'd punted his manager, Was managing himself and gauging interest from rival clubs as a 6/7 for 900k....

I read that load of shit article as well,
think it was Fox Sports too, prob
ripped from here to be honest. I
remember saying good for him that
he was ditching his manager and
pocketing whatever commision he
would have given him. There is no
credible source stating that he was
looking at 900k a year though bro,
especially coming off a reco and
only playing a handful of games,
it doesn't even make sense tbh ...

It would be nice though if one day Brooks ; Moses and Teddy played together again. Considering they’ve known each other for so long. Win a premiership together for the club that brought them up

They were bloody excellent when they were together the first time around…I thought the Smith, Cronk and Slater combination would certainly be dethroned as the best in the game.

@frullens Would be as a Centre, AD needs to one drop his asking price to even get a seat at the table at the moment.

Doueihi, like Brooks, is in no rush to thrash out his own future beyond this season and simply wants to build his combination with his little halfback.
“I’m not in a rush to sign anywhere or do anything – playing good footy will sort it out,” Doueihi said.

This year will stipulate who stays
and for how much, hope they fire

The club is very confident that Moses will be putting pen to paper at this Thursdays meeting.
A 4 year deal worth close to $1.4mill per season (can't confirm but a 5 year may be a mutual option).
All "requirements" per his managements discussions have been met & our offer is better than the Eels.

Since Farnworth has informed other clubs of his intent to stay at Broncos the club has changed focus to Dominic Young, very early talk just gauging his price point.

Daine Laurie is looking likely to take up the current 1 year extension being offered, he wants 2 years or more but club not budging on this.

Talk of Seyfarth looking to move on is true, club happy to keep him for 2023 season but won't stand in his way of long term offer if it comes forward.

Laurie will be fullback round 1, Staines too quiet for Sheens liking & "needs to find his voice" to be any chance of taking the 1 off Laurie, Bula is nipping at their heels but a roster spot would need to be freed for him to play prior to round 10.

Club has also held talk with Fletcher Baker from the Roosters.

Thanks for the update @THE_POM .

Have you heard anything on how Sheens/Benji/Robbie rate the pre-seasons of our other young wave potentials especially Chris Faagutu, Talyn Da Silva, Jordan Miller, Solo Saukuru, the new Kiwi half and our wave ahead of them ... Kautoga, Tumeth, Ngataikura, Scolari, Ngutlik etc?
