The sooner, the better....
The NRL really needs to act quickly, and FIX this blight on our game, and start to really hold managers and players accountable for their contractual obligations.
Moving forward, we should have nothing to do with Moses. IMO he should be made an example of, and a full investigation into Moses's actions. So far he seems like the Teflon Don, nothing is sticking to him....

He requested 2 releases last year, so you'd think he has had a club lined up for a while.
No player asks for a release with nothing to go to.
A deal has been done elsewhere and probably was a long time ago.
U know we are so thin on backrowers , he might just work for us , the slimmmy eels have paid him for six months already, if he would come on a six month contract , with a club option for next year at a price that suited us , we really couldn’t lose , he would have to perform or he doesn’t get the next contract, sometimes u got to explore options, he was a dickhead , but if we can get the best out of him he would be a good pick up at the right price , and a doubt he has many other options

There is no forward in our current rotation I would drop for Matterson.
If he would be good depth if he is willing to wait for an aside if there were no other factors. Since there are other factors I think and hope its a risk we don't take.

The quickest way to fix these things and salary cap breaches is to punish the players as well as the clubs and the agents. At present the agent cops the punishment, if you included a lengthy ban on the player to, things would change. It’s to easy at present for the player to say, I leave all that stuff up to my agent. The players and in our current situation Galvin would know exactly what Moses is cooking upThe sooner, the better....

We have no forward depth - I'd take him

I would rather the Tigers play with 16 each week than have Matterson come back. Every club he has been to he has caused a bit of grief.

We're building, so we should be looking at young forwards like Suli Pole, Heinz Lemoto, Fainu Latu and KPP.

Take out the Latu dynamic problem that spooks him and I don't think the culture thing would be an issue.
Very impressive the club has two of the top number 6 prospects in the country. Possibly inevitably one would always have to go.
Also forgotten Richo was honest in discussing the John Sutton road directly with the family. They didn't like that.

Puzzling is you completely and repeatedly ignore the Latu/Luai dynamic, the Benji/Moses 1 dynamic, the Galvin/Moses 2 dynamic, the Father loving Parra dynamic, the the club does not see him as a long term half dynamic, the Gus Gould dynamic...

Looking at Melbourne it seems that any team is only as good as their 2 or 3 best players.

How about this theory on Galvan saying Benji can't help him reach his potential as a half . . . . .
It's possible that this line of bullshit was conceived last year by moses as an easy way out. Let's face it, it held more truth about it during the 23/24 seasons.
Moses would have thought everyone would agree, and him and Galvan would come out smelling like roses. And again . . . this would have been plausible in 24 for sure. No real arguments against it.
But like most narcissists, he didn't have a plan B, because his plan A was devised by a supremely intelligent and wily operator . . . and therefore it never needed a back up.

That’s not the point I’m making though. Going to Parra makes no sense. It has to be a good club.

Re Luai vs AD at 7...
It's so weird, isn't it.
If someone told me that Toa + AD would be our regular centers for 6 rounds and we would be doing "OK" I would have laughed at them.
Now it's place AD at halfback... Which is weird as we haven't seen much of him at 7 and I feel that position was his to grab if he wanted it.
Yet I feel it's the right call. Luai is more used to 6 and AD seems that kind of person who is headstrong enough to be 7. Plus Luai seems to be a master at making people look good at 7....
Prepared to give Benji and Luai the benefit of the doubt on this one. Although this should be a winable game. Parra will turn up and Parra will be tough. Moses will change this team from a bottom 4 contender to a top 8 contender till he gets injured again.

He cuts into the line so deep, would be amazing to have
No not back to back, that really comes down to the draw, whether a team plays the last grandfinalists back to back.
Spoke to my mates son who played rugby at Waverley college with Luca Moretti…for what it’s worth Luca told him that deal with Galvan at Parra has been done
