Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

I really don’t know how to feel it seems very out in the open right now - doubt even Moses knows where he wants to go.... however seems like we’ll find out within the next fortnight

The quick timing of his expected decision before the start of the year gives me some confidence he might be coming here as we’ve been chasing him pretty hard - the fact we’re also delaying Bateman’s signing too (both players managed by Isaac Moses) gives me extra hope as we might be trying to figure out how we’re gonna structure both contracts

Bulldogs noise is getting a little louder recently, but they seem to have there attention at Stephen Crithcon... with Ciraldo having a close bond with him too

Parra seem to be overlooked too - he very well could go back but the word around town is that won’t be the case... interesting times ahead

IMO if he’s taken delivery of a flash new bmw recently as an “ambassador” I’d wager he knows where he’s going.

Could have taken the offer up as
part of his old contract - was
waiting for the car to come out.
He's still signed for '23 don't forget
Has very little to do with where
he will be in '24 in my opinion ...
 
MITCHELL MOSES

Eels administrators fear they’re losing the fight to retain their star halfback. They have tabled a four-year deal which they believe is fair and reasonable.

However, it will fall short of what the Wests Tigers and Bulldogs are willing to offer, which is in excess of $1.2 million per season. Moses has a clause in his contract that allows him to stay with the Eels in 2024, but he has no later than April next year to trigger the rollover. Expect a decision much earlier.

LUKE BROOKS

For the Wests Tigers, this is as much about Brooks as it is Adam Doueihi and Daine Laurie. All three spine players are off-contract at the end of 2023 and the decision to retain Brooks beyond the final year of his 2023 contract will impact how much the club can spare for either Doueihi or Laurie. Do they ask the polarising halfback to take a massive pay-cut or do they sever ties all together? Of the three, in my view, Doueihi has to be the absolute priority. He’s an out-and-out footballer who has the size and skill to be one of the most dominant five-eighths in the game.

I reckon playing next to Burton, and already having a playing relationship with Mahoney would be tempting for Moses. They are short a couple of players but I think we would be very happy to have all of their recent upgrades - and if they get Crichton as well they will there abouts.

I reckon having Ice and Brooksy around him might be appealing for Moses too.

If everything goes right ...haven't I heard that before somewhere

Dunno Dude ...they looked like a shambles ...don't even have an official NRL site yet ......that's unprofessional

I'll argue this until the day I die but they should have gone to Ipswich or Toowoomba ....Redcliffe is just the most northern suburb of Brisbane

Footy fans from this area either became Brisbane Broncos fans or stuck with your original NSWRL club

Ipswich hates Brisbane and so does Toowoomba .......and Ipswich is one of the biggest growth areas in Australia

The Lions haven't moved their headquarters to Springfield because it is nice and pretty

Yeh, they're fair points. Ipswich would've been a gun spot for sheer size and participation rates. Redcliffe by comparison are a professional and profit-making club with a monster leagues club and out of the box suburban home ground. It's an interesting comparison.

My point was simply that Redcliffe aren't a cereal box team but are actually grounded in a rich history at QCup and junior levels.

What's easy got to do with it? Would these players came without lee talking? No. But the things he speaks about recruitment is not the time or the place in the media. Pascoe and him need to be on a leash and worry less about the players and more about their actually duties.

That was my entire point.

Glad you agree.

Redcliffe will be even larger in infrastructure in years to come.
Brisbane is expanding north from North Lakes and Caboolture is moving east separated only by the freeway.
The place is going to be huge in 15years.

I’m just thinking from my pov if I was a third party sponsor.

If I had given a car to a player, he’d be playing for my team with certainty long term. If I was contractually obligated to give him one in this hypothetical situation, I wouldn’t be splashing it around on social media. It’s negative goodwill for mine. I don’t see any value in a player with Moses profile, driving my BMW as some sort of advertising or marketing for my company. It’s purely to strengthen my team.

Just my (cynical) slant.

Agreed mate.

Although I have been of the opinion (totally impartially) that the most logical choice would be the tigers I didn’t take into consideration Moses’ Lebanese background and how that may sway him to play for the dogs. Also quite enticing to play for Ciraldo. I suppose it can go either way but the relationship is already established with players like Brooksy; Nathan Brown; Papali’i etc

Not to mention the great relationship he already has with Benj and Farah. It just seems logical . I wish I could find that article of when Moses debuted and Benji messaged him - felt like Benj was passing the #6 jersey to Moses…

What difference does it make if Lee says he's confident or not? Either Dogs beat the Tigers deal, or are a better proposition, or they are not.

You really reckon word gets back to Bulldogs that Lee H is confident, via some rando at the Fan Day, so then they up their offer?

I think I'd rather nothing.come out positive or negative.

A layer might not like anything coming out if they want to leave there team. If I was a player going for a contract elsewhere, id want them to zip it until I've told my teammates etc.

Benji and Moses’s relationship doesn’t get talked up enough - they’re very close

Their’s 3 big factors that’s convincing Moses to maybe come back which is the $, Benji and Brooks
