?????? - 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.

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!

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

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!

Maybe they know Moses isn't resigning with them.

Maybe they know Moses isn't re-signing with them.

A lot of us are thinking Browns deal is pretty silly with the two 3 year extensions, but they kick in in 2026 if he takes the option, I'm wondering if Browns contract has been structured in this really bizarre way to back end his deal to re-sign Moses on a 2 year extension ending in 2026. The money they save on Browns deal is used to top up Moses for 2 years by which time they don't care if he moves on because he is in his early 30s get a cheap foil for Brown who takes charge of the team by then enacting his first 3 year extension whereby the excess money saved by signing a junior or cheaper replacement for Moses is given to Brown for taking unders in the first two years of the deal to keep Moses there. Just my 2 cents.

Maybe he really is off to the Rooster's to replace Luke

To me, Parra suddenly announcing Brown out of the blue without any inkling or rumours that it was about to drop very much sounds that they got their response from Moses and quickly moved to secure the other player.

Nelson asofa solomona linked to the Dogs, surely they can't get him, Crichton and Moses?

they really have got the accountant From the roooters , surely the NRL would have to be asking questions about how the hell they could fit them all under the cap

Potentially flag that mitch is moving. Given he was making the decision this week, this may have been Parra throwing the sink at brown after mitch notified them. Maybe wishful thinking on my part.

I think ur 100% right

 

[Lee's fedora]

Parra are restructuring the Moses deal and in the meantime they closed the Brown deal.

Mitch rejected their first contract offer due to the money not being what they wanted.

 

[fainty]

How would you possibly draw that conclusion?
What a dumb thing to say....
Fair chance there's more work in Moses contract than Browns....
Just because it's "announced" first - Means very little.

Different Managers, Different Time tables... etc.

You obviously don’t work in business

Most logical comment

I knew his P.A when he was at the Waratahs and Wallabies. She said he was the hardest working person she had ever worked with in Sport Admin. No stone was ever last unturned. He would be up working to midnight regularity then back earlier the next day.

Brilliant man manager and would be a huge help to any football department, especially ours. However the ARU is rumoured to be interested in recruiting him to replace the current incumbent for the Wallabies head coaching gig ahead of the next Rugby World Cup.
