Mitchell Moses released [Official]

[goldcoast_tiger]

I just fail to understand how that NRL had seen what is happening with this guy ….. his obvious and now admitted tanking ..... and have done absolutely nothing.
Any other worthwhile employer and administrator would have dragged the person in by his ears and read him a riot act and imposed sanctions.
Where is leadership in this bloody organization. No wonder the crowds and ratings are down.
Absolutely disgraceful.
And all the while WT are getting abused about the situation. Just stinks.

WTs is his employer, not the NRL and nobody but us can be blamed for him playing first grade.
There was a lot of us that have been saying that he wasn't a first grader a long time ago .

And Lolo on his way.

Tell us more Simon…

 

[LeichhardtTiger]

It's Tuesday - Has the brat left the building?

 

[Club_Sandwich]

What's news? Hopefully it's to do with Moses being punted to reserve grade with a box of Kleenex for the rest of the season.

Deliberate non performance by a player still under contract ….. well to me that comes under the " bringing the game into disrepute" heading.
And that is the the area for which NRL is a gatekeeper.

 

[bp_tiger]

I don't want him going to the eels without us getting a player in return, sent him to ron massey cup as a frontrower or water boy but don't give in to the brat.

Released officially.

Gee Moses needs to cough up his match payment of last Weekend at the very least and hand it to the Season Ticket holders that sat there witnessing the performance he dished up.
What a Pathetic individual , send him to Reserve Grade don't give in to him.

Mitchell Moses granted an immediate release by Wests Tigers, will join Parramatta Eels
Paul Crawley, The Daily Telegraph
8 minutes ago
MITCHELL Moses has finally been granted a release from the West Tigers and will play for Parramatta this weekend.

It ends weeks of turmoil at the Tigers following Ivan Cleary’s decision to withdraw a multi-million dollar contract offer to Moses.

EARLY MAIL: Shock return for JT?

SELECTOR: The Blues side Daley must pick

Cleary has been reluctant to grant Moses a release, however, on Tuesday morning the Tigers’ five-eighth was told he was he has the green light to join the Eels immediately.

It means Moses will have his first training session with the Eels on Wednesday ahead their clash with the Raiders on Saturday at home.

 

[avocadoontoast]

I hope we got something out of it. It would have been far more satisfying seeing him in reserves for the year rather than getting his wish to join the Eels. Scratching my head at this, if true.

 

[Tigerles]

Let poor little mitch go now in exchange for the eels contract of Kane Evans for next year, then release fedesco to the roosters in exchange for Evans and and maybe Ferguson now,
for the remainder of this year, maybe bring back marshall, couldn't be any worse the moses, brooks did play alright next to benji.
Don't up me. its only a thought

 

[westTAHger]

good for wests tigers.
best wishes to who ever plays in no. 6 jersey this week for wests tigers, at least we know they will give it their all. :righton:

I think you are both right. The WT's have a huge part to play in this drama. They cultivated and nursed this huge ego for years and did little to curb it. This bloke has maybe played a dozen better than satisfactory first grade games for the club in his entire career, yet was allowed to go unchecked. A few on here have been saying for years he should be dropped for his performances and attitude. This has been going on ever since his second year of grade.
To me he has dogged the majority of games this year, whether some were tanked is conjecture only but it certainly looks that way. Id like the integrity unit to be thorough in their investigation. The NRL should be concerned as stuff like this is beginning to happen more frequently and will only increase in time.

Would love to have Benji back for the rest of the year….he'll always be a tiger :sign:

Good riddance

Thank Christ he's finally gone, absolute muppet..

It's a bit difficult to prove lack of effort, though. If the NRL brought Moses in he'd presumably say oh no, I'm doing my best, I just can't cope with all the uncertainty boo hoo poor me nasty old Ivan. Which would make him look like a pathetic little weasel but isn't exactly grounds for disciplinary action.

Problem is stryker Moses was in career-best form at the end of 2016, hard to punch his head in and lower his ego when he was arguably one of our better performing players leading into this season.

I mean what does the club do? Emerging kids are always self-confident, most of them wake up to the reality of professional football (or don't make it) and pull their own heads in. I remember Sheens saying he was originally reluctant to debut Farah in 2003 because he was "a lair".

I'm all for dropping the non-performers, but Tigers have had next to zero backup options especially since they shelled out for these wunderkinds.

Obviously in hindsight this hasn't worked out great, but nobody's complaining right now about the cash splashed on Moses Suli. We can instead become a club that just poaches emerging / established players from other clubs, but you cannot deny that some of the very best footballers going around are club juniors.

You could well argue that since Moses has not been able to recapture his 2016 form, the club did in fact give him a reality check - and now we see what the result of that is. We could have had this drama any time during his tenure.

Moses officially released to the Eels today…hope we got something out of it!!! SG do you know?
