I think he’s probably worth an upgrade, when you consider his previous backended deal had him on around $725k per season. I’m wondering if the club’s inability to close a deal on Brooksy is holding up the Moses’ talks?
We can’t expect Moses to take our word that Brooksy will still be here when he arrives, given our past dealings. We have the same CEO and board pretty much unchanged?

Why hasn't it been announced from us though ? Until it's official I reckon anything can change.

As @stevied stated I'm not even sure if it's good business based on the massive contract but we are desperate for a marquee player. He better deliver assuming he comes.

1.2-1.4m is not a concern for me as a top line half leading into the next few years with the cap increases is only a little over the average for 7's TBH. Halfbacks don't come cheap but make or break a team and just need to look at the Broncos and Cowboys last year with Reynolds and Townsend.
Moses is younger than both and in footy years is just starting his prime years now. Not concerned about his age at all but his kicking and goal kicking will be massive (if his coming).

I would love to know ASAP just so everyone can move on and get onto footy.

Reynolds has been a good buy for the Broncos. His influence on that relatively young team has been significant. He was a few years older when he signed for the Broncos.

He was huge at times but they didn't make the finals and they have some guns in that team. I'm not that worried about Moses age. It's just a massive contract and that comes with high expectations. It's not so easy to deliver to those expectations. If the team wins it's cool but if not that player is under fire.

Moses’s having a massive ego mixed with some real skill will love the challenge of being the top gun. Latrell said one of the reasons he knocked us back was he did not want the expectations that go with the salary, Moses is a different breed, he will thrive on it

was listening to him talk on a podcast the other day. Christ he hates the tigers he’s not getting on with sheens at the moment so he refuses to say any of our recruits are any good

Put your differences aside and just talk about the club in a positive way for once

And that's just it - Assume....

Everyone said the exact same thing regarding Munster, Just for him to re-sign at his current successful club.

But there’s a difference between Munster and Moses. Munster didn’t actually go to market therefore no rival club could legally make him an offer. I understand where you’re coming from though and I agree with ya. But I can’t compare the two as Moses whether willingly or not is on the market and is considering his options, while Munster re-signed with the Storm 2 or 3 days before any rival club could’ve made him an offer.

Whenever I read something that he’s written I hear it in his voice which is annoying AF

Then they should’ve reported it to the NRL because that’s against the rules. No club cannot offer a rival player a contract until Nov 1 and if their contracts are up the upcoming season. If Munster did get a contract from any club before then, that’s against NRL guidelines. So they either paid Munster and Braith to keep quiet, or they had talks but no offer or contract was actually made which there’s nothing against the NRL guidelines for that.

We should send him over a 6 pack and a lap dance to garner some favor.

While I appreciate that Moses was a very clear "I want OUT" with the Tigers.

Our Board has been outstanding in comparison to the "Big 4".
If Moses or Brooks won't take our word, then maybe that's a hint that they should 'get out' I suspect Brooks actually trusts the Tigers board pretty well. Our ability to deliver on the field, NO but our board, yes.

His agent was an Eels junior and his dad loves the Eels. Maybe things have changed, the Klemmer and Bateman signings are a positive indication?

I'm not sure it's that simple? If we are urging Brooks (among other players) to pitch an improved environment to Moses in the knowledge that he has declared his interest in reuniting with Brooks because he has played his best football with him, then isn't it on the club to show some proof of their intentions. If they were to walk away or show the slightest disinterest, then I'm suggesting this is what could be causing a delay? That and the issue of 23. Thats all I'm saying. I think Brooks and Moses still have the same manager, don't they?

Is it not true that Moses, Brooks, and Bateman are all with Isaac Moses management company. I'd say we have had to jump more than one hoop...
