Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

Ok, here comes another 'this person said that' story....I was at a function called the Headmaster's Gathering yesterday evening (I'm a teacher) and was speaking to a staunch Parra supporter (husband of a teacher), who alleges to have contacts with the club. He said the feeling in and around the Eels is that Moses has signed with the Tigers. If this is true, it's exciting but I still maintain 1.4 mil a year, for a player who will be 29 when he comes in 24, is bad business.

I'll also add that the teacher I was speaking to, who is a mad Parra supporter (but lovely and intelligent), said she loved Moses, adding that he was not only supremely talented but a good guy who had grown up a lot since his brattish Tiger days.

I think 1.1million and above is the new normal for halves now and as a club we need to pay slightly over that.

Interesting, I’ve noticed the Para media on there platforms and websites feature a lot more of Brown, Gutherson and Matterson.

Why hasn't it been announced from us though ? Until it's official I reckon anything can change.

As @stevied stated I'm not even sure if it's good business based on the massive contract but we are desperate for a marquee player. He better deliver assuming he comes.

If he does sign then straight away hel help with organisation,long kicking game and goalkicking. That's 3 things off the bat that we have sucked at for awhile.

You’d think if he had already signed, there would of been a leak by now. As better in that department as the club has got, big name player like the slimy turd is. Somebody would of leaked it by now!
I reckon he’s still trying to get the slugs to give him another year, I don’t reckon the money is as much the issue, as the years are.
 
With the new cap having a 25% increase, $1.4m is the equivalent of $1.1m under the old cap. About 11-12% of the cap being allocated to one player is a lot, but given he plays arguably the most important position and is one of the best players in the league at that position, financially it makes sense.

I mean Brooks is making a not too different amount and he's been one of the worst players in the league for years now, so it's definitely a huge improvement in resource allocation to say the least.
