Eels have offered him an extra year on their original offer which has been enough for him to stay at the Eels

WOW! There goes the Parra salary cap down the track.

Folks in all honesty .. if we .. and I'll say that's a big IF we get MM .. do we play him at 7 or 6 .. ??

Personally .. I'd play Brooks at 7 .. why because he aint a running .. playmaking 5/8 .. and I'd play MM at 6 .. he's a better player running with the ball in hand .. at 5/8 you have more time to run with the ball .. and he's better at setting up other players running onto the ball around him than Brooks .. I think he reads the play better than Brooks as well.

Your thoughts .. ??

6 - Luke Brooks
7 - Mitchell Moses

No hesitation that's the way you go if we get it done

Team Moses up with Papaili, they already have a partnership.

MM plays well in the 7 at Parra and Brooks has played better in the 6 at the WT's.

A bloke who makes 10 posts in 7 years is suddenly in possession of inside information? Somehow, I think not.

Guess we will have to wait and see

 

[The Fresh Oil]

If Moses doesn't sign I’m blaming Brooks. Can’t play. Can’t get his mate to come play. Biggest flop in WT history.

If you have the inside goss brother, would you be prepared to tell us where it came from?

Just off topic, if you're up for entertainment, switch to the Robodebt RC and watch Alan Tudge.

OK, if you are indeed correct and it is shown that Moses went with Parra because they offered an extra year, you will have my profuse apology.

 

[liltiger]

FWIW, one of the conditions of Moses was the Tigers re-sign Brooks to at least 3+ years

This is what irks me, we need a quality half but we have coaches who are paid to worry about that, if players could demand whatever they wanted clubs wouldn't get anywhere it would be club med. If Brooks wants 3 plus years let him earn it. I couldn't imagine any of the Broncos in the 90s demanding something like this from Bennett I reckon they'd be out the door.

I’m guessing more bobbing and weaving than an outmatched fighter.

To be honest I hope I’m wrong

Like a few on here have said, wether he comes or not I’m not really fussed anymore… just can’t wait for the season to start so ppl can cheer or complain about something that actually has happened instead of arguing over what ppl think or read from dodgey journos and thereafter believe it as truth because it’s been repeated so often.
Bring on the season already!!

We already tried that ... Brooks has since proven he's not a halfback and Moses has proven that he is.

 

[liltiger]

call BS on that if he said he wanted AD plenty on here would not have an issue...
Players like to k ow who they are going to play with all the time nothing new

I would feel the same Douhi hasn't done anything to earn his 3 plus year deal either. The players play, its a culture thing, let them start making demands we will go nowhere quickly. Sure Moses wants to know who his partner in the halves will be even consult with him of the signing of a future halves partner to get his opinion I'm fine with that, but to expressly state a condition of signing is we must give Brooks 3 plus years doesn't sit well with me. Don't care who the player is Moses is potentially signing to play for the Tigers, the Tigers pay him, he plays with whoever the coaches deem worthy of wearing our jursey after they earn it.

that is some bizzare viewing there that you are watching bro .. Alan Tudge a man of many morals, highly religious .. comes to Canberra as a politician .. but runs around the Canberra pubs and clubs thinking his teenager again .. and has an affair with his former advisor .. to which the federal Government (us the tax payers) not Alan Tudge .. is forced to pay $650,000 for her liaison with the member .. !!
