Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

We say no, Brooks moves on, we miss out on Moses and left with a lottery pickup

We say yes only if it means Moses comes

Keep in mind AD might not stick around as well which is clear from the way things are playing out he isn’t viewed longterm in the halves either.

We don’t have much leverage here unless we want to just rebuild fully with young halves as the market is very dry.

Don’t get me wrong, would love Moses to join but if a truck load of cash, some really key signings and a road map to success that hopefully the management gave him while touring the brand new facilities is not enough then the club should move on. Having a player dictate roster positions is a road that ends in tears.

Also, I don’t think the club is in that poor of a position with regards to negotiations. He’s not coming from Melb/Roosters/Penrith. It’s parra. They have lost a few players, coach is under pressure and after a few losses will be under fire again. I reckon parra are ready to fall and Moses can cash out after getting them to a GF with a payday that would put him at the very top of what a NRL player can earn to a club that on paper looks on the up.

Brooks being punted shouldn’t even be discussed. If they agree to that then they are brain dead shitbirds.

Yep, all 24 players in the squad can play and it’s unlimited interchange.

The club probably want to ship Seyfarth but from all the footage and images of the pre season he looks to be standing outside of Klemmer looking to link up. He may have a role this season. Can see him improving with better players around him. 2nd phase yardage guy.

What's more he is a loose unit and plays with heart.

No use playing with heart if u can’t get over the game line , or nail there forwards before they get over the game line , he will regret not going to the warriors, i quess

if Brooks and Moses didn't have the same manager then it wouldn't be a discussion fact is same manager and Isaac wants both players sorted. Isaac holds the power here if we dont sign Brooks Moses will remain an Eel.

So he'll torpedo his client (also his nephew,) getting an extra $300K a season over 4 years (of which he would get his pound of flesh in commission,) because another client doesn't get a deal at the same time.

I don't normally get goss but I got some juice I thought I'd share.



kitione kautoga won't be at the club in 2024 and if he gets his way he'll be out the door this year. Hope I'm wrong because I rate this kid big time.



Eels made another offer for Moses but it's still less than ours. Everything the Pom mentioned is 100% spot on. The club is confident and his manager and brother are pushing for him to take the Tigers offer.



Two kids you'll be hearing more of over the years are Michael Nassar and Lachlan Galvin. The club has big wraps on both players.

What's caused the kautoga situation?

interesting that Kautoga is heading for the exits, but not entirely surprised when he has Papali'i, Bateman and Blore ahead of him long term. seems as if the club rates Tumeth higher as well given Kiti is nowhere to be seen in this weeks team list.

Nassar is Balmain's HM fullback isn't he? another one to add to the list if you include Bula, Laulili'i, Karnib and Kanaan. nice to have a plethora of good young 1's coming through. Galvin is a superstar in the making.

How old is Galvin?

What position does he play
 
Jedi_Tiger said:
plus he gets Brooks sorted and commision with that too. They likely want to play in same team together too so a win win.

think if they didn't have the same manager then tigers could tell Isaac to get stuffed if he wanted to sign Brooks etc but fact is same manager Isaac holds plenty of aces.

I think Sheens would be smart enough to say to Isaac ok if we sign Brooks and we get Moses can we restructure this Brooks deal a bit to free up some space for other years. Highly doubt it would be any more than 24,25,26 for brooks

Yeah, Nassar is fullback for Balmains HM.

I'm pretty keen to watch WS Sg Ball this year to check out Galvin.

Kautoga is a development player, he's been injured so much over the past few years but he's said he wants to repay the clubs faith in him. Ultimately it will come down to opportunity. Previously we had crap backrowers so he had a decent chance of more gametime. Now he has to earn his spot in the top 17, competing with the likes of Ice, Blore and Bateman.
I think he needs to just keep working on his game and fitness before he looks at any new contracts. His current value is low, a standout season in nsw cup and his value doubles. The club rates him and he loves the club. He may be upset with big name players on long term deals but he should still get a crack throughout the year if he performs well enough.
