Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

Worse thing about it all is that if we get him, the media will say 'They paid overs and were desperate'.

If we don't get him they will say ' They can't attract quality players'.

Fair dinkum

I’m more worried about what the results say.

OK does anyone have any updated info on Moses etc..
On the Dogs Forum they are very confident they have him and would not surprise me TBH.
I hope we have not thrown all our eggs in the one basket for him as not many halves around.

They believe the Salary cap might be sorted later this week or next so signings will start to be announced.

Hopefully it's only a modest increase and the Dogs have to bleed players.
 
History aside, Moses is a good short term acquisition. He won't win us a grand final, but he'll steer us into the 8.

Whether we believe him to be or not, he's considered generally as one of the better players in the game, he played in a grand final last year and landing him at this current point of his career along with the likes of Api and Papali'i starts to give us a bit of credibility in regard to being a club that players in the peak of their careers will want to go.

If he signs, a utilitarian view is needed, we're not a better team without him there. If he doesn't, we can all go on hating him for the way he left like we always have.
 
This is panning out like all the other big fish we have chased. We are talked up as being in the box seat for weeks than as D day approaches seeds of doubt begin to emerge .

I tipped the Dogs weeks ago to come out of nowhere and win the race. Gus has been stroking Mm’s ego for years and the Dogs have a pretty good roster on paper.

Hope Iam wrong but I think Friday’s meeting will be all about getting a offer from us to take back to the Dogs

He also gets to work with current origin players at Bulldogs?

Moses signing would be just so so great.

I'm not hung up about the past (which I feel is over-exaggerated), I just want success. What an upgrade on Hastings he'll be - he's got Hastings hunger and organisational skills but with speed, creativity and a kicking game.

It’s the kicking game that is so valuable.
 
Issac doing a great job for his client.

Eels been told if they increase their offer he'll stay.
Dogs been told if they increase their offer he'll sign
Tigers been told Mitch is keen and wants to come early for 2023 if he can get a release.

Issac Moses is the big winner

The upside is if Moses does choose not to sign for Tigers, I can continue to hate the guy without modification, so it still ends up being a win.

Yeah it's a win win. If he stays at Parra or goes to the Dogs, I think he is an overrated downhill skier and also a tanker. On the other hand if he signs with us I legitimately believe he is one of the best halfbacks in the game and he will transform us.

JAC, Burton, Mahoney, ciraldo, Gus, kikau, Arthur laundy…. Potentially Crichton, potentially top 4 team, etc etc etc.

I personally believe that the Dogs will not be able to afford Moses.

They are paying average to decent money for players like:
Bailey Biondi-Odo
Corey Allen
Jake Averillo
Jayden Okunbor
Braidon Burns
Kyle Flanagan
Paul Alamoti
Corey Waddell
Max King
Raymond Faitala-Mariner
Jackson Topine

and decent to top dollars for players like:
Jacob Kiraz
Josh Addo-Carr
Matt Burton
Luke Thompson
Tevita Pangai-Junior

then also average to big money for new players like:
Hayze Perham (from Parra) average $$
Andrew Davey (from Manly) average $$
Franklin Pele (from Sharks) average to decent $$
Reed Mahoney (from Parra) top $$
Ryan Sutton (from Canberra) average to decent $$
Viliame Kikau (from Panthers) top $$

There is a lot money tied up in these players, so much i believe they will be forced to release some before the start of the 2023 season.

The Dogs after approved by Gus, have paid overs for a lot of these new players.

Plus they are trying to get Stephen Crichton to come across which they have a good chance of .. so Moses on $$$ sounds impossible, hopefully.
