Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

the way cleary acted with the dishonesty with the club and signing with Penrith, demonstrated behaviour
I think in this instance Moses is correct to be annoyed, cleary pulled the contract he then went to Parramatta
Still think Moses is a DH but cleary and wests tigers didn't want him

absolute fabrication. Moses had an offer for almost 9 months worth more than Brooks. He signed with Parra for $50k less. He was using Tigers to try to bump up his Parra price. He had already told Parra he was coming

That was Moses biggest issue early in his career. He tried to score on every single play rather than trying to game manage. Probably doesn’t help when you’re young and trying to prove your coach wrong. Youthful exuberance.

He would often over play his hand attempting the spectacular far too often. It’s only been the last few seasons he’s got that out of his game and is a much better game manager now.

Plus had a crap team around him.

Reality is our club lost their shit when they punted sheens.

I don't begrudge any player for leaving I blame the club for poor management. Yes the club turned their finances around but football management has been disgusting and negligent since sheens left.

Same game he was deliberately throwing horrible cut out passes to Nofoaluma when he was easily marked, turning over posession time and again when on the attack. It was so obvious he was trying to lose that game in the 2nd half.

His post match interview was a disgrace as well. Something along the lines of:
"So Mitch, a lot of talk of you seeking to join the team that you've just played. Do you know which dressing room you're going to walk into?"
"I've got no idea!" (with a great big cheshire cat grin)

His last few weeks with us were an embarrassment. I'd forgive it as youthful naivete to a degree, but he's shown no contrition whatsoever (at least publicly).

Tbh I've heard much the same as CCTW that he's actually quite well liked in RL circles, but there's something about him that rubs fans the wrong way. We're not the only fan base that doesn't like him.

A lot of rewriting history there,Sheens was largely responsible for destroying our salary cap and completely responsible for signing Anasta and Blair.There were very good reasons for sacking him
 
The Bulldogs are circling Crichton as a potential fullback, while the Eels are lining up Martin, who has been in talks about a four-year extension at the Panthers.

Martin has been in negotiations with the Panthers for almost three months, but Penrith is baulking at the hard-running backrower’s asking price of just over $550,000 a season.

Panthers pair Staines and Leniu have also been linked with moves at the end of this season – and Wests Tigers are circling the pair.

Staines is expected to be part of a player swap with ex-Panther Tyrone Peachey once the grand final is over, while Leniu could be moved on because of Penrith’s tight salary cap.

The Dragons discussed making a play for Leniu, but have so far opted against it. (DT)

Need to sign Leniu before Bulldogs sign Crichton...otherwise the 'tight' cap space mightn't be so bad.

Why are we not trying to sign Martin is the big question.. 550k is a steal for a SOO player.
We have cash to burn and I would offer 650k just to at least make others increase there offers.

I'm just stating facts the club has tanked since he left.

I don't really care about your personal feeling towards him.

It was the same when he ws here - why did they let him screw our salary cap? As bad as each other imo and that's why I'm not a fan of his appointment.

100%, Sheens should have been let go earlier, the club crapped their pants when Penrith wanted him, so they re-signed him to a big multi year deal, when they should have dropped him off at Penrith and got a new coach

We should be taking Staines to get Leinu, and making Martin a decent offer as well, we can afford it
