@tony-soprano He was Dally M Halfback of the year last year. I cannot understand some of the comments about him. Watch the Eels play and the big fast wingers who attack the high ball and the big fast centres who hit the gaps a top speed. This removes a lot of pressure from Moses and allows him to be a real threat with the ball. Brooks does not enjoy this luxury. We have no speed on the wings or centres except for the rookie Talau. This needs to be addressed



Sorry but Moses is good because he handles pressure and rises to those moments.

You are flogging a dead horse


Moses is still a flat track bully beating up on weaker teams but going missing against heavyweights .

Not anymore, he once was, now he is a genuine good 7, 29 try assists first in the league, listen to the commentators and players, Moses is the real deal, unlike our 7

Wasting your time. Theyll never see it.

Bitter.

I am not saying he sucks, he is a 6, not a good 7, we need to lose Benji move Brooks to 6 and things will improve.
We should have swapped Moses and Brooks over years ago, things would have turned out different with Moses at 7 and Brooks at 6

Ok good luck with that. I was trying to talk the real issues. A bit of critical thinking but you go ahead.

It’s a poor comparison the Eels have the much better roster. Put Brooks in at 7 for the Eels and Moses at 7 for the Tigers and your opinion will differ. Halfback is reliant on so many players to perform.

If Brooks played 7 at the eels this year, they miss the 8, he takes the wrong option more often than not, if Moses played 7 for us, we make the 8, plus he kicks goals

Moses had an offer sitting on the table for 12 months before his mental health got the better of him

If we are talking combos the number on their backs mean nothing in the modern game..

You brought up TRY assists..

If we are talking combos Brooks (20) and Marshall (12) have 32 as a comparison Keary (24) and Cronk (12) 36 ..so in a star studded Rorters Roster they have 4 more TRY assists than our guys..well done..

Moses has left Brooks for dead with every aspect of the game bar defence, but it is a no contest in who is the better halfback



It really is quite disturbing how far apart these two are right now.

All for the sake of our coach at the time trying to wiggle his son into this club.

No coach in his right mind would chose Brooks over Moses in 2019

Don't worry Slimy will catch up eventually! Lol


Ok, keep believing that.

No one else but our fans rate Brooks higher than Moses

I couldn't care less whether he is better or worse.

You are the only one going on about this - the majority of us are trying to forget the little tanker. So low he could crawl under a snakes belly.

Agree. Pretty sure there's a Moses/Brooks topic on the forum.

Regardless of try assists, Moses is better than Brooks, cut it which ever way you want, it is what it is, not Brooks fault, he is just not a good 7, doesn't make him a dud

100% agree.
Brooks is better suited as a 5/8th his bug asset is his running game not leading the team around the park and setting plays up.

I do think a few here are over critical of him this year. Another new coach and most part of the year he has had no backs to work with. Masters sucked and our forwards are lacking punch.

He is still doing alot of good things but his support cast around him has been lacking big time.

Ive got no issue being on my own with this.

I see it very cleary. Cleary dogged us all trying to squeeze his son into this club.

 

[krayola]

@Geo Exactly. The issue isn't Brooks, it's the players around him. Although I do feel he lacks a sense of the moment and this will stop him from ever being great, no matter who is around him.

You are rabbiting on about Brooks more than 851 ever did about JT and that is saying something.

I for one, do understand what you are saying - you don't need to jam it down my throat. I just don't agree with bringing someone into the argument (in a "signing suggestions & Rumours" thread) that is off topic for stacks of posts.

 

[Sart0ri]

Not from what ive seen. the guy rises to a challenge.
I dislike the way he treated this club but im not about to put that ahead of common sense. The guy is playing extremely well and is one of the top halves in the game.
**Fact.**

I don't think that word means what you think it means.

Fact.

Don't agree with that at all. Eels have only played 1 Top 8 side in the last 7 rounds; all season they are 4 wins 5 losses against the current Top 8. The only Top 4 side they've beaten all season is the Raiders once (and one loss). Eels are making their finals run on the back of good form against poor sides, which is a genuine way to play finals, but hardly an indicator of halves "rising to the challenge". Fact being Eels have mostly not risen to real challenges in 2019 - they still have 2 rounds and then the finals to prove otherwise (they finish with Broncos and Manly).

Moses himself - Parra went on a big winning spree when he joined midseason 2017 and won 11 of the first 14 he played. This is in contrast to the 3 wins 7 losses he managed with Tigers in the first half of that year. So clearly it is a lot about roster, because he was not winning with one side and winning with another, in the same season.

Nevertheless, Parra made the finals and were bundled out in Week 2 after 2 straight losses. Again, not rising to the challenge.

2018 Parra win 6 matches all season and Moses missed one of them. Not rising to the challenge there.

2019 - still to prove premiership credentials in my opinion.

Now I will go on record in saying I hate Mitchell Moses with a passion and will do my utmost to discredit and downplay anything he does. It's a genuine bias I enjoy having, because of how he played for and left Tigers. The way he left Tigers shows me he does not rise to the challenge, that he is a lowlife dog who quits when going gets tough. He basically threw the Souths game in Rd 10 2017 and that's when they banned him from training. I've never seen such behaviour from a Tigers player before, disgraceful.

Thankfully, Moses has won nothing at all since leaving Tigers. Yeah Parra know how to beat the bad teams but he is 0% wins in finals matches and is 1 W 4 L against Top 4 sides in 2019. This is not any evidence of rising to the challenge, not evidence of handling pressure.
