I think Sheens my have had Robbie in his ear saying, "hey boss, while your at the World Cup, why don't you have a chat with Mitch"

selling the dream

 

[Demps]

yeh mate him & el zakhem went real good for us

Us ?

🤝😂👋👋

I like El Zakhem too.
Looked OK in cup games I've seen but was outstanding in the world cup

Curious with Moses

Who do you reckon reached out first, Sheens or Moses?

I totally get why we would consider this, Sheens has Adam D asking for 800k. At that price, Moses comes into contention.

Moses too needs talk from another club to justify his pay packet and is fairly mercenary. Oddly Parra don't seem to have a strong commit to team culture. (I wonder if Matthew Watmough's departure taught their juniors something... just a business hey).

I kinda worry about all this. Were talking big dollars, and yes Moses is a decent player. No superstar though.

Anthony Watmough?
Forgot all about him.

Oh I think it would have been quite the ear ending exercise. But Robbie has a decent track record on this type of thing.

What’s hilarious about this thread is that almost 8,000 pages and 4 years ago, the very second post on this thread was Ink mentioning Mitch Moses. We’ve come full circle.

Mitch has developed into a decent player and I know Benji is a fan.

But after the problems he caused us 4 years ago I'd have zero to do with him

Is that the 10 km Burwood to Roselands (via Punchbowl Road) Walk? 🥃 🤣 🕺

How many pubs in the crawl?

Certainly not as many as their used to be.

And worse they close early.

Eels coming out and saying that they will not release Moses from his contract. Whether or not we manage to get him, I'm just enjoying the fact that the Eels are having to come out and deny player releases after all the times they've done it to us. Hate that scum club with a passion and hope we manage to pull it off. Regardless of my disdain for the tanker, I'm willing to put it aside so long as the Eels get shafted

That'll be up to Moses if he starts dogging it and playing the mental health card like he did when he left us. I hope he has matured the last couple of years.

 

[liltiger]

It can't just be about money, the players need to be a bit smarter, if the sum of 1.4 for Moses is correct, which I doubt, then its all good for him to take a bigger pay day but do the players realise sometimes it's better to shave some money off your salary so the club can fit another forward or back in the squad that will increase their chances for success. It's all well and good to take 1.4 mill but not if he's stuck playing with reserve graders because our caps all out of whack trying to sign him.

So your saying you would encourage him to play the mental health card to come to us, I would just to stuff Parra around 😉

Cobracats you know what they say what goes around comes around, let him sink their season like they enticed him to do to ours 4 years ago.

Is this bloke still around I thought he showed some promise.hes not listed anywhere that I can see

I'm hearing ya. Isn't this great, having other clubs sweat and soon blokes like Buzz and Hooper will be saying they're a rock show.
One thing that has sprung into my mind.... isn't it great that we have a healthy salary cap. The next juggling act Sheens has to show Marshall and Robbie is how to retain good players without getting into trouble again.

Mate just let you know, King Robbie has started a thread in the Contracts, Recruitment & Rumours Section called" 2023 Ins and Out."
It has the squad as it stands and he'll be regularly updating the list as info comes to hand. He also responds to any questions like this one if yours.

 

[happy_tiger]

To put it another way Happy could do the same thing everyone does to him.

I could but I love annoying you all so much ....and I've said it many times on here ....if everyone put me on their hate list ....that's fine ... I post to amuse myself

 

[happy_tiger]

Didn't mean to upset you hap. Things can be taken out of context somewhat.
Chinese whispers play havoc on a forum.
At the end of the day, if we are entertained and didn't lose an eye doing so then it's ok isn't it?

Not upset at all mate ....just thing you should hang your guns in your words and actions ....post what you want ...but own what you say

 

[happy_tiger]

I don't see it as this simple though. The situation can change pretty late in the piece.

I totally understand that Earl ...if you ever get a chance to read Tim Horan and Jason Littles autobiography and it gives you great perspective how hard it is to change clubs / codes ....Little said every day for 3 weeks he changed his mind from Crushers to Union and back again ....
