Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

With Brown resigning that must mean Moses is going, can't keep both on big money.

Nah, Brown is staying for the love of Parra. Not the money.

 

[supercoach]

What it probably means is Moses has not signed with Parra yet. As they would have announced both signings in a big press release.

So he has either not signed with anyone or has agreed to terms with us. Still think Parra are slight favourites but that is a good thing, as I am usually wrong

Doubtful..... Very Doubtful.

It can only be a good thing, if Moses does end up on an extension with the Snakes, the amount of money and years the Snakes will have committed to a questionably-performing halves pairing.

Surely if Moses stays he's going to be on big money for at least 3 years (more likely 4). Papers are reporting 8-9 years for Brown, but in reality it appears to be a 2-year extension with options to 2031, and we don't know if those options are in the player's favour or not (probably half/half).

I've long been a Moses critic, somewhat out of spite, but I maintain a genuine opinion that Snakes had a rails-run to the 2022 Grand Final once Raiders took out Melbourne. This left Parra with a match vs 8th place (who arguably used all their juice to beat Melbourne away), then a qualifier against a Cowboys team that faltered badly in the final months of the season (finished 4 wins 4 losses in their last 8 matches, and needed an extra-time miracle to get past Sharks in Week 1).

And with that opinion, I do not believe that Brown-Moses are a premiership-winning combination. A finals-capable combination for sure, but they have a terrible finals record since coming together 2019.

There will be lots more linked to the Dogs... papers just making it up to fill space or agents using their name to promote their player. Every player used to be linked to the Roosters and they realised how close they were flying to the sun. Now its the Dogs turn.

Being mindful that the article about NAS says Bulldogs were considering making an offer, which is meaningless really. Tigers considered an offer for Munster. You can consider offers for whomever you please.

 

[Spartan117]

I think the Bulldogs are basically pursuing every player of note, in the hope that they snag someone. They can't possibly sign them all, even with one or two possible offloads such as Thompson.

As long as we don't Take Thompson and make their recruitment easier...

We have Klemmer now we don’t need Thompson at all.

I think if we sign Nathan Brown & John Bateman we can make the semis. Fowards win matches and if we get them two we will have one of the best forward packs in the competition and that will help Luke Brooks and Adam Douiehi to improve their respective games have some faith in Sheensy he knows what he is doing.

Sorry unless the backs make a uge turn and the halves can actually put up some try assists I can't see us making it. 10-12 this year for me. If we get Moses and another decent back then we will most likely be there in ,2024

How will the tigers spend the Money set aside for Mitch Moses when he extends with Parra????

Seyfarth 8 year extention.

 

[SeanT]

?????? - A six year option? FFS

"The Parramatta Eels have received a huge boost, with star five-eighth Dylan Brown extending with the club until at least the end of the 2025 season.

Brown’s extension was announced by the Eels on Monday morning, with an option in the 22-year-old’s favour to remain at Parramatta until 2031.

Must be a typo. No way are they that dumb. Imagine in two years if hes playing poorly but can take up yearly extensions on big money? Bahaha hope it's true.

A statue of Matt Groat eating a kebab would be money well spent.

Hope Gus used wax to fix his wings and other similar such dumb things.

 

[teddy23]

What concerns is me how long the deal can potentially span out too..... the more years you'd assume means a little less per year due to how long the security is which could help them get Moses too

Brown is almost a carbon copy of Johnston, brilliant one day, and asleep the next. Moses set up nearly all their attacking moves, and Brown played off the back of him. He will not be the same player without Moses calling the shots, AND THE EELS KNOW IT. They will give Moses what he wants. Sad to say!

He probably fumbles his kebabs like his career.

The Eels know it? That's why have given him the option of a 6 year extension on his contract?

He is a good player in his own right. Yes, still needs to find consistency, but if/when he does, he will be taking a huge leap. He's a great young player who will keep developing.

Interesting article here on Munster's reason for staying with Melbourne - a reason I agree with too.

But he goes on to say this, at the bottom of the page, which potentially means his move was between Tigers, and Storm..

“I was legit just waiting until November to have a look at my options and see what options I had. There was lots of speculation about Redcliffe but I didn’t have any formal offers.”

Munster was out the Storm door. Then Penrith won again

While he did eventually re-sign, Melbourne's game-breaking five-eighth had other plans for his footy future this NRL offseason.

His consistency was what i was referring too, and i don't think he's ready as a leader, if ever.
Moses is the leader at that club, and Brown would be lost without him there,. Not to say he would not play well,but the whole side would find it a lot harder without Moses.

Most clubs would find it a lot harder without their halfback.

Except maybe us, who would probably be better off.

So the eels made Dylan Brown their priority in signing…I wonder how Mitch feels about that!
