Big boy with speed. Good try.
He made a great break earlier in the highlight package as well.

Over a million dollars for someone who hasn't played first grade. It's self explanatory.

The SMH article is a tad misleading. It's really a four year deal which doesn't sound as bad. As others have mentioned I'd say it's heavily incentive based. Anyways whatever we spent I suppose it's nice that we were able to beat out glamour clubs like the dogs and storm for an in demand kid.

Fair comparison with Seve. I suppose the difference is Suli looks physically ready for NRL today whereas Seve was always a bit on the small side for a modern day outside back.

Great to have a kid from within our system signed up - but when we continue to have salary cap issues, it's a bit rich of the current administration to simply blame the previous board prior to the independents. Farah aside, the issues we're experiencing now are a result of the people either in place now or directly previous to them (Mayer, Moss etc).

Exactly. No different to the deal we did for Marshall years ago.
If that is how the market price him, then thats what we had to pay or lose him.

x2 , we haven't learn't nothing with Brooks when he was touted as the next Johns :blah :blah :blah .
The bottom line is he is untried at NRL level and we are not a Club that can afford the luxury of spending such money for a kid who will most likely play lower Grades for the next 2 years .
Hope it all works out and that Harry came to the party with this signing :unamused:

Yep and the decision for Seve to leave was never based on money but his belief that he would get more a go at the Broncos. Seve's other big problem is that he didnt seem to have the speed in NYC that he had as schoolboy. Lacking size and not having genuine pace, I have struggled to see how he can make it as a first grader.
Seve never had the suitors that Suli did.

Moses Suli commits to Wests Tigers
Wests Tigers Media
Sun 29th January, 09:00AM
Wests Tigers are pleased to announce that the Club has re-signed exciting young centre Moses Suli for a further three seasons.
The new deal will see Suli remain with Wests Tigers until at least the end of the 2020 season.
The Fairfield United junior played both Harold Matthews and SG Ball for the Balmain Tigers, progressing through to Wests Tigers’ Under 20s in 2016 at just 17 years of age.
Suli played two Holden Cup games in 2016, with the outside back scoring tries in both games, wins over the Melbourne Storm and the Canberra Raiders.
Wests Tigers CEO Justin Pascoe said he was very pleased that Suli had decided to continue his playing career with the Club.
“As a Club, we’re very excited to see Moses remain with Wests Tigers,” he said.
“Considering the interest in Moses from a number of different clubs, it’s clear that he has an abundance of talent and potential, and we’re thoroughly pleased to be able to watch him continue his progression here.
“It’s also extremely exciting for the Members and fans of this Club to see a future first-grade centre commit his future to Wests Tigers.”
Wests Tigers Head Coach Jason Taylor said that he looked forward to seeing Suli develop further at the Club, having seen a rapid improvement in the 18-year-old.
“We’ve been keeping a close eye on him for a little while now, so it’s really great that we’ve been able to secure Moses at Wests Tigers,” Taylor said
“Anyone who has watched him in our junior representative teams has had their eye on him, and while his size and strength obviously stand out, it’s been his awareness of where to be and what to do in the games and pre-season training that has really impressed the coaching staff and has us all really excited.
“He spent a bit of time with our first-grade team over this pre-season and that’s when we realised that he’s got something special in how he handled that experience.
“We’re looking forward to having him in and around our NRL group over the next few years, because we know that everything he gains there will only help him further.”
18-year-old Suli said that he was happy to have his future secured ahead of the 2017 season.
“It’s really exciting, and I can’t wait to get out there on the field,” Suli said.
“I only played a few games last year and then got injured, but I’m back in training now and it’s been great to be out there with the senior guys in training.
“I’m hoping to have a crack at first-grade as soon as possible, but I’m keen to just keep working hard and do my best.
“This Club gave me a shot when I was 15 years of age. I’ve loved every second being here and can’t wait for what’s to come in the years ahead.
Suli has already represented New South Wales in an Under 16s Origin match in 2014 and was initially selected in the New South Wales Under 18s squad for 2016.
