Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

Of course he deals this way. His number one goal is to get the best deal for his client at the club his client wants to play at. If he can use the negotiations for one of his clients to benefit another client he will do so.

This makes sense even though it is dodgy. The key point is though how stupid would you have to be to believe that because we signed Bateman we'd get Moses unless it was part of the contract ?

With complete respect to everyone I rate this forum pretty lowly on the intelligence scale (including myself) and how many on here would fall for that ?

I've always thought the Bateman signing was risky but surely they've signed him because they rate him as a player. Surely they let Hastings go because they didn't rate him that highly. They were even playing him as a lock.

Let's see what happens anyway. I have no idea why you'd go to a meeting with a contract ready to sign to tell them no thanks buddy. You'd have to be a real knob. I suppose in this instance it makes sense.

I would also give him the captaincy as part of the deal.

Mate - they've put together a really good deal for a guy who isn't great but is heaps better than what we have in a position where we are weak. I don't know what else they can do. I think the deal is so good for Moses that it's a risky signing for us.

I’d probably make Api captain

There is a reason clubs like the Chooks try and avoid his clients. Anyway we had a real crack and the whole exercise highlights how important the pathway system is

I know what he is trying to do. Just can’t see this style lasting very long before teams just ignore his suggestions!

It's too early to call the Moses situation either way.

However, the fact that Gus has moved on, tells me he knows he's staying. This perceived confidence is worrying, when other clubs have already moved to other options.

Winning changes everything. We need to get wins to attract the bigger names.

Bulldogs won 6 games in 2 years in
2020-2021 before signing Addo Carr,
Burton & TPJ haha. Yea I dunno bro...

The amount of 'my mates brothers hair dresser is the cousin of the parra ball boy' going on is hilarious

Guys if the parra players knew it would be in the media already. You really think its going to start getting to people on forums third hand before the jernos?

Left field question any here work for city rail ?

A fair way back... Not welding... Started as a shunter ended up station asst for a few years

my wife's boyfriend knows a prominent pokies player at parramatta leagues club and the oil he gave me is that we can expect an announcement or moses re-signing with the dragons on friday.

Surely if MM had told his team mates last weekend , his best mate Brooks woukd know when asked this week .

 

[trentrunciman]

I know the Pom said the club was confident on MM signing with us but I think it’s more likely they’re looking for a higher price from us

 

[tony soprano]

Buzz sounds on the money. Got to hand it to Parramatta.

 

[Hmm]

My uncles auntie’s barista is Mitch Moses and Mitch said that he’s coming to the Tigers and he’s just congratulating Penisini because they’re mates and he’s signed his first big contract

 

[tony soprano]

Isaac both sides of the fence beautifully

 

[trentrunciman]

Congratulations Paramatta on the re-Signing of Mitchell Moses. Tigers tried but Eels offer too good to refuse.

 

[cktiger]

Part of the deal, was moses teaming with Brooks, and Brooks and the club have said as much.
As for Parra ,and any top 8 side signing AD for any position is ludicrous ? If you guys believe this, you believe in rocking horse shit.

You mean Brooks getting punted from being a halfback at last?
What happens if AD outperforms Brooks at five eighth then?
The truth is that any side in the top 8 wouldn't go near an anchor like Brooks.

The trouble is, supply and demand. Moses has no problems attracting quality footballers to join his agency because he is very good at doing what he is paid to do. So most clubs are forced to deal with him because he has the players they want and there is very little quality available.

Did someone say that in the very early stages of negotiation, Moses told the club they needed to beef up the pack. Just happened we signed up a couple of his clients.

Anyway we gave it a crack , there will be other fish to catch

Catalan dragons south of France I am guessing?

Again, your Brooks hatred compromises your thinking. I would put Brooks in the same category'. Brooks was chased by Newcastle, a bottom club, Ad shopped himself around, and is still doing so. no takers. The Tigers want Brooks to stay, and have said so, They have not commited to AD.
At the moment both players would not rate an offer from the top 8 sides. It is that simple.
How the perform this year with a better side, will determine their value. I would be surprised if AD does not sign elswhere for 2024.
