Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

If Moses leaves Parra it will be to a club with definite premiership chances. He will not take on a rebuild club at this stage of his career. Maybe he takes over from Luke Keary in 2024 at the Chooks and Walker moves to no6.

It will take a few years of top four finishes before we have some real pull in the market place.

Pathways is fine, but even Penrith had older heads (Maloney, Merrin, Tamou et al,) who helped bring that crop of juniors through.

Agreed - it's all about balance.

I'd only be interested in Moses if you have a player like Yeo, Murray, Radley or Townsend. I've begrudgingly come to accept that Moses is a very good player. Particularly the last couple years, he's been good in big games, even when there's not much space or time. But he's not an organiser and I still don't think he has the right temperament to control the team.

Perhaps Hastings can be that player for Moses, I rate him highly.

Moses on an anchor less team will become inconsistent and overplay his hands and I wonder how he'd hold up defensively.

I know this is an unpopular comparison but I even wonder if he's all that much better than Brooks. That sounds like an insult but they're similar sort of high skill players who are also a little inconsistent. I think the gap between the players highlights how valuable the rest of the team is to halfbacks like brooks and Moses who can't organise teams.

Moses has organised the eels for years, leading them to prelims and a GF this year. Can't be too bad at it. Definitely superior to anyone we have, laughable to think he needs someone like Hastings in order to bring out his best. He's been the sole organiser for long time time now. Gutho, Brown and Mahoney haven't done much there

Wtf is going on with our recruitment team? After the debacle of the big 4 all coming off contract at the same time, I would've thought we'd learnt something. Alas, here we are again, maybe not the same quality as the big four, but all of our spine (plus Hastings) are off contract at the same time. It's like they're still trying to work out which ones to keep ffs.

Thankfully they let Liddle go

Its because none of them are good enough to warrant long term contracts. All have failed in various aspects.

The Mole seems to have the closest mail to Sheens.
I would take rothfield, Read and Hooper with a grain of salt with the tigers

What's the mole writing? Nothing😁. It's a tight ship with no leaks except those the club wants leaked.

I’ve just been reading about the likelihood that Nathan Brown coming back, and it’s making me feel unwell.

Four year deal straight off the cuff, wow!
He must have some talent.
Shades of plucking Marshall out of school footy maybe. Is this guy the answer to our centre woes?

Or fullback.

 

[Stevec]

Geyer saying Sheens offering Moses the biggest deal in the NRL !
If it fails after our huge Munster offer what will it say ?
I hope it works
If not I expect a few more 18 yr old stars in signing ceremonies and a Sheens or Pascoe PC about our junior pathways and how the future looks bright
That future is 2025

Who is worse - Brown or Woods ? It's pretty bad right.

 

[earl]

Or fullback.

How good would that be ?

Both

Hopefully Pawwa pay more to keep the tanking fraud Moses there

Lets give the kid sometime he might not be anything yet, his frame & body shape could grow after spending time in a professional gym/training environment and he could end up in the backrow.

I’d look to bring back Moses Suli….he's in his prime

I agree with Brent Read's take on “What will it say if it fails”… its shows the WTs are not afraid to go after the biggest names in the game. If they dont they aren’t doing their job.

 

[Stevec]

I hope so too ,can't imagine the unrest if he's getting double or more than Hastings and Douehi . I want a top class center and edge forward

 

[sleeve]

I doubt we will get Moses, but it will help him getting more $$$ at the Eels and thats the way the game is played today!

Does he train now?

He runs like a steam train
