Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

Yes he would have been a good fit for us as a lock , how come other clubs pick up players left right and centre but we just never seem to get guys that would fit us

Haven't seen him winning too many premierships with the Warriors and he's o the wrong side of 30.

Here is a rumor what if TDS and Galvin want to stay at West??

Moses is a bad agent who is only driven by his media profile.

I don't think anyone can say with honesty that Moses is a bad agent. He has secured some all-time deals for his clients over the years. He is, in fact, quite effective.

The problem is, we're all club fans and contracts are a zero-sum game, meaning the better the deal for the player, the worse for the club (to simplify).

I can't stand Isaac Moses. And I hate the entire player-manager system as it is now.

But his only metric is gaining the most money and security for his client, which he is undeniably effective at.

His methods though are a disgrace and it should be on the NRL to shorten his leash (again).

Nah, never.

(Skelton, Turuva, May, Hunt, Bird, Luai this year alone)

.....never.

All of our signings are playing well for us. Think that's a first.

Would love Galvin's family to sack Moses...

The main reason why hed sign elsewhere

Moses places no value on loyalty,mateship,development $$ invested by the club,nor being a one club player
Ask Woods how that turned out for him!

I’d say we would have looked into it given our needs plus he’s good mates with Api. Eels were probably willing to pay more is my guess.

Good for the client but bad for the game, they shouldn't have enough power to ruin squads which has been evident in the past, the NRL should control this by getting rid of the independents and having their own in house maybe this could work out to be fairer method.

Jack Bird, Terrell May, luai all fit us .. I feel that Richo has turned that around at least .. we were like that under the fedora kid

I don't disagree, though the NRL taking control of the situation brings with it its own set of conflict-of-interest issues to navigate.

Maybe he just didn't want to come to the Tigers - not everyone wants to no matter what.

Maybe, that would probably come from the players side of the equation, I think the clubs and fans though would be all for it, I'm sure the NRL think tank could put together a fair system over an off season to keep all parties happy if they worked hard at it, what we have now isn't good enough.

He does a great job in terms of money and length of deal, however he has tarnished quite a few of his players reputations and often guided them to the wrong club.

He's a great agent in terms of getting himself the biggest possible commission, but leaves a lot to be desired in terms of being a good agent for his client and doing what's best for them. Moses is solely out for his best interests, not his clients.

I reckon Dylan Walker will be great for Parra. He is true footy player - it's just his body that is showing the wear and tear.

Think he might be a bit like Jack Bird for us.

I am talking more about players just jumping out of blue , may was one who we got

 

[tigertragic]

The thing with Moses as noted previously is his Macca franchise system of guiding players to clubs he has leverage at thru the coach or other players. That’s the NRL’s main problem to solve as he has to much influence at certain clubs to get
‘the best’ deal for his client

 

[BlackWhiteGold]

Dylan Egan has extended with the Dragons. Two of your suggestions @jrtiger Egan & Simi Sasagi are now off the radar, who else did you like to add depth to our backrow stocks?

I can't have Oryn Keeley now after watching him this season, I think Porter & Sukkar offer just as much.

is he managing professional athletes or a Pub Social Darts team?

Imagine Penrith win 4 in a row and then an NRL manager is viewed as 'helping' them acquire the likes of Blaize or Papali'i, or, the NRL manager is deemed to 'help' the Roosters continue to build stacked squads, etc.

Fans already think the game is skewed against certain clubs. The NRL regulating player movements (which, despite all of our cries of 'conspiracy' at times, are almost always above board), would push this sentiment to crazy levels.

It's a messy precedent.

But something needs to change, for sure.

They need an answer in the halves until Moses is back reckon they will move Brown to 7 and walker will play 6
