Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

I agree. For some reason I can’t see him returning. Not many people in general want to return to an employer which has previously been a bad experience. Did
Munster ever mention WT? Or why he gave us a knock back?

Then why did he entertain WT with the idea of joining?

To put his price up when pawwa try to keep him

To get more money.
I'm more than happy that the WT are pushing the Eels to pay more. It's also one of the reasons I don't care too much about Brown... don't want to help them with their cap.

Something is wrong , I got it on good advice brown was a done deal , and we have been told that Moses would tell us all WHO he had signed for the last 2-3 weeks . The cap has been sorted yet nothing has changed , there is no leaks coming from the media. Are we been played , the players return to training next week , u would think that certain things wood have be sorted by now , especially in browns case . I am sure the slimmmy eels want to know if he’s staying Or going , it’s all very strange.

There is a good chance that Wests tigers are being played.

 

[Jedi_Tiger]

Give them 2 backs for Moses?? They can get stuffed! We’re already short on good backs and Moses definitely ain’t worth it.

Do we have good backs ?

 

[the_third]

last time I checked he is still here Demps unlike hastings

isn't there a Luke Brooks thread you can use?

 

[bathursttiger1]

@Jedi_Tiger needs to ease up on the Brooks love...

We get it, don't need 100 posts a day to remind us 😂

Maybe Jedi is Luke’s mum.😂

 

[cktiger]

if Hastings wanted to play 13 then why did he leave then... so no he was not happy to play anywhere hence he is now at Newcastle

Not too hard to read between the lines ... he was outspoken in his support of Maguire.
Sheens didn't want him.

I reckon Moses is stringing us along as much as he is pushing Parra for more money. He has no intention of coming back here, same way Latrell never had any intention of coming here.

 

[Flippedy]

Nope and we can’t afford to lose any of them mediocre or bad.

More than a good chance I’d say.

Professional footy brother.
They are only in the game for a short time. Anything can happen like a career ending injury that could make it shorter.
They're a product and it's like going to an auction these days.
Loyalty is usually shown after you buy the shiny new car....and I use the term "usually" quiet loosely.

They want more money. I don't think they'd care if it wasn't about money.

"I want to play fullback" and "I'm a five-eighth" are code for "I want to be paid more."

 

[Asu Kepaoa's #1 Fan]

I think if he was coming tigers would have already been done. I think they are giving parra time to sort out TPA’s and ensure they get as close to our offer as possible.

Thanks to James Maloney we now know that TPA's are not really third party and that clubs often organise them.

For those who don't know, a Maloney (Cronulla) and Moylan (Penrith) swap had been on the cards for ages in 2017. Someone asked Maloney what the hold up was, and he said "just waiting on some TPAs to come through." He basically told the whole world that clubs rort the cap in plain sight.

 

[innsaneink]

Crichton is staying at Penrith. I’m cousins with him. Take it how you like. 🤡

You're "cousins with him"?

Strange way to say he's your cousin

 

[rex2ce]

Our offer to MM is greater than Para’s .. the ball is in MM’s court right now .. he still hasnt given us the nod as yet .. nor has he told Para anything.. which is a strange thing to do. I personally believe that he is playing both clubs and is milking us both for all it’s worth. Is he waiting to see if Para can somehow find enough money to retain him .. or is he just waiting for Para to find a replacement before letting MM announce that he is leaving .. ??

Waiting for an offer from another club ?

 

[dazza65]

🐕 lol

 

[Curaeus]

If our offer is significantly better than Parras, reckon we're still a fairly good chance of Moses going after the extra cash. His agent would probably be pushing the money angle pretty hard anyway.

 

[InBenjiWeTrust]

we now have leaders in the forwards like
papali
Bateman
Klemmer

So the need for a Joffa is not as important as it was in 2022 vs value on salary cap if a club wanted to trade joffa might have some value.

IMHO, Ofenphenague is the last player we want to trade, however, Nofoaluma, Sayfarth, and than Twal on the other hand, especially the first two are deadwood and shall be gone ASAP.
