Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

[WesternSuburbsBoy]

understand Moses manager last year asked the Tigers to strengthen pack which we did with Klemmer and Bateman. Also noting Klemmer, Bateman both Issac Moses clients and picked the Tigers.

I think a player coming to the club in the halves is allowed to ask who the club is thinking will be his halves partner e.g. AD LB or another player. If said player is not happy e.g. Sheens picks LB and Moses wants AD then Moses would be entitled to say to Sheens thanks but no thanks. Likewise if Moses wants LB and Sheens picks AD and Moses is not happy then again he is entitled not to sign for the club.

In the case of his other option at Parramatta Moses knows who his halves partner will be so no issue there.

My point is the best player should get the chance to play alongside Moses not whoever Moses picks.

You would hope that we are trying to strengthen our pack because we want to, not because Moses' manager wants us to.

Yep AD is gone. Wants ridiculous money and wants to play 5/8. His best spot is centre but he’s not interested.

Off to Super League you go,

Me though, I’d be sudsing out Kurtley Beale. Grub - there is no doubt but reckon he’d go well. Plus he’s been stood down.

AD would go well back in rugby, he runs well kicks well and defence doesn't matter as much in rah rah. He was a good rugby player and would make the wallabies. He would be the type of steal Eddie Jones would go looking for and he could probably command 800k and above.

You don't believe a 4 time premiership winning coach and one of the greatest 5/8s of all time would not be able to resolve this matter?

 

[pawsandclaws1]

This has nothing to do with my thoughts on Brooks/AD, I just think that Sheens should pick the best available player regardless of what Moses thinks.

See my reply below.

I worded that slightly wrong, it was along the lines of strengthen the pack and the quality backs will become available. Sheens obviously did that and it worked two fold as Moses had more than capable players in his stable klemmer and Bateman so for Isaac it was a win win really

 

[pawsandclaws1]

Did I say that? the point i'm trying to make is they are the ones who should decide who plays alongside Moses not Moses himself.

Perhaps they already have. You're a very reasonable poster but go and read Doueihi's comments again. It may be just my slant but he seems halfway out the door,

All this talk about who pairs Moses watch him not even come 🤣 🤣 🤣 this smells like Latrell all over again hahaha

Also in regards to this if this is the case it's a poor decision from the club imo again nothing to do with my thoughts on Brooks/AD but both should be afforded the same opportunity to prove themselves to play alongside Moses next year.

Glad Moses contract is for 4 years and not 5, but still pretty meh about the idea.

Decent enough player, still appears to be a down hill skier and I can't get the images of him tanking in his last couple of games for us.

We'll see if he does come here and can change my opinion.

I don't believe that Moses will have any say in it. The best player should get the job. Money comes into it from a salary cap perspective but that is about it.

We're just supporters. I understand where you are coming from.

His new Parramatta contract?

Lol Jedi ... anything to make it easier for Brooks to keep his job.

 

[851]

Agree, but why have a face to face & written contract in play this late.

Sounds promising, thanks mate for your info, we do appreciate it

 

[sleeve]

Far out man…
- the post I replied to was calling api the best pound for pound defender in the game?

I can’t contextualise your post to my comment…

Yeah, it was badly phrased, as i extended tackling technique into another argument, i apologise.

 

[Jedi_Tiger]

you think he will get 800k at the Tigers in 2024 ? I don't
if he is chasing the dollars rugby is a good option

Totally agree, he will be Eddie Jones 1st big? scalp...

Agree appreciate the info POM 👍

Without jumping the gun my feelings are this’ll be the best signing since Scott Prince, a player to organise the team around the park 🤙
