Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

I like to limit my comments to just my opinions, but seeing this is a rumours thread, I’ll add my 10 liras worth.
My friend who is chummy with a Wests Ashfield director says Moses deal completed last Thursday and they are trying to nut out a ‘23 release by offering eels an outside back.

I posted here the other day a crazy Parramatta surporter at my local pub said something very similar but the sticking point was AD going there for I think it was $800K and wanted Tiger's to throw some $$$ in

Also do you no anything about the Tiger's chasing a 18/19 year old outside back wing/centre from Parramatta was surpose to be very quick

Do you know how long it would take for an announcement if we get him for 23 compared to if we get him for just 24?

If a swap was to come off,my guess is it will be a centre. ThereI are 5 centres listed, not counting Doueihi. My guess will be Starford Toa who's name will be put forward by the tigers.

 

[Tigerstigerstigers]

Yes obviously the 6pm call was incorrect, the desk jockeys always take longer than expected to sort out the paperwork.

I won't respond to your personal insults as Jesus taught that one should turn the other cheek.

So when’s the desk jockeys making the announcement . Would you like an extension to regain your credit ability ?

It's embarassing for Parramatta to lose there star half for 23 it's a name player that's going and it has to fill a hole in the halfs for Parramatta and it has to be a 3/4 year contract till the young Super star half is ready there fans will kill them

 

[Cultured_Bogan]

Probably not giving Arthur enough credit but I wonder if he'd be happy to let Moses go because his young fella will probably step up.

 

[Jedi_Tiger]

That's good intel. Ditching let's say, Nofa, and getting Mitch would cap off an amazing recruitment year. Lets hope your mate is on the money

that would be perfect outcome nofo out for Moses 2023

 

[The_Patriot]

Won't get Moses for Toa.

Moses can win the Eels a premiership this season. It'll need to be significant.

Doueihi or that calibre

Haven’t heard anything of late about Albert Kelly but now see he has been added to the Indigenous squad.
I believe he was on a train and trial with us but does anyone have any up to date info re his status in the group ?
And what’s with all these late withdrawals( both sides) from a game that supposedly means a lot to both cultures ? Disappointing that so many gun players have withdrawn.

The trade is call an Ivan I believe it's from a submarine movie in which the captain does an Ivan

But here in Tiger Town it's when you lose your star Play or players and the coach goes out and buys something less impressive and trys to pass it off as someone new and shiney like a Packer Josh or Mbye


The Tigers are trying to do a reserve Ivan with Parramatta which is very difficult

We don't have calibre.

Thanks for sharing Jux. Appreciate the info

I myself have been informed that Mosses was actually spotted looking on during a training session early last week could be a deal ✔

At least Trell & Jack are there for role model value! 🥃 🤣

AD has been offered a 12 month extension to his contract (daily telegraph)

 

[Hmm]

This.
I often wonder if Cleary or Moses were behind our pack last year if they would have done any better. I don't know.

I think the simple answer is no, it’s damn near impossible for a halfback to create anything from behind a forward pack with no momentum, most times you’re kicking from inside your 40 on the back foot with their forwards raining down on you because of a slow play the ball, all ya can do is chip bomb for field possession, must the loneliest feeling

Good

Great sign him up then subsidized the contract to Parramatta for two years good thinking

 

[finnzo]

There is no way parra are gonna entertain releasing mosses 3 weeks before the season starts that would be completely bonkers

It doesn’t hurt to ask but

 

[gallagher]

Give em Nofo & Doueihi and call it a day.

Chuck in a couple of volunteers.

I was only young at the time those guys were coaching. I will say the quality of league at that time was better IMHO. The players today are more athletically gifted but the players of the 70s and 80s were just tougher.
How do you compare the coaches you mention to say Bennett, Bellamy and Sheens.

my comments were regarding the quality of the league's radio personalities/game callers/journalists, and all of those were with ABC sports. Sadly, after Wilco left it was not the same anymore (IMHO).
