Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

Still no guarantee that MM has signed or is about to sign. So talking about horse trading is wishful thinking at best.
Also if Moses did come this season he will want the 1.4 or what ever the figure we offered for 2024. Doubt we have the cap space available without trading a top end contract. I guess it will depend on the new cap details and when they become effective.

Yes Joffa played great last year in a side where we came last and a very ordinary forward pack.

Joffa is not a better front rower than klemmer and Stef has way more upside. We even have Pole coming through

Joffa is not a better second rower than Papali or Bateman

Is he the ballplaying lock we want probably not

Joffa is a bench front rower on good coin and the onpy forward worth some coin you could possibly trade

What’s your latest with Mitch, you’ve been calling him as coming for a long time now

Even if he did sign he's not coming this year. Parra still has a chance to go all the way, which they won't jeopodise by letting him go.

Please no more talk about it. It won't happen

I agree that he's not coming this year. But completely disagree Parra has any chance of going all the way, they are done for the next 5 years now. We are rising right as they are fading.

Parramatta still have every chance of being there at the pointy end this season. They have lost Papali'i and Mahoney of note. If they correct for those losses (difficult, no doubt), they still have the forward pack, the halves and a squad at large to trouble most of the competition on their day. Hodgson has every chance of substituting for Mahoney, with Ice being the more difficult edge threat to replace.

Whilst I agree they're on the slide, I think this year they can still be thereabouts, particularly if they play to their strengths once more.

...... in my opinion.

yep easier to maintain a level of competitiveness than to climb out of a 10year finals drought.
 
If we get Moses I'm not worried about Laurie or our fullback position

Laurie can play and has that natural talent to exceed in this league - the thing with him he doesn't seem the player to lift a team on his own and that's okay we aren't paying him big $ to do that

However, he may be the type of player to flourish under a new attacking approach with Sheens/Benji playing behind our pack with Api, Moses and Brooks taking the reigns

Still think we need a strike centre though, but we do have some prospects in that position - the idea of Staines taking his spot confuses me a little

Yeah but I was just going off my entrenched bias against Parramatta rather than reasoned analysis.
 
How about we get Moses here for 2024 before speculating for a 2023 swap.
On Joffa, we are fortunate to retain him as a Tiger after the crap he has been through with Brisbane and us over the last few years. I predict he'll be playing for QLD again this year
