Non-eels footy stuff

[Gronk]

I did comment in the Non Parra Games thread last week how long before the Roosters would put up with him.

Yet the commentators LOVE him and praise him 24/7 like he is the love child of Cooper Cronk and JT.

And Moses yet to recommit

It’s odd that he agreed to terms 3-4 weeks ago but still hasn’t signed. Something’s not right.

Waiting for the TPA from the club to kick in perhaps

I suspect what has happened here is that Moses has agreed to terms, but he is very flexible on how he gets his money until the end of the contract and is allowing the club to see what happens this year in regard to other potential signings.

We have 3 roster slots open for 2023, although we might have filled one with Hands now. Technically we don't have to fill the spot of Nathan Brown, but we can use the slot if the right player comes along.

So, we only maybe have to fill one more spot unless some potential better signings come along. We obviously have a fair bit of cap space for this year though the way people are talking of potential signings

If some decent signings don't come along this year, we only have to bump one further player up to Top 30 (assuming Hands is now Top 30), and realistically we can renogotiate Moses entire contract to include 2023, and front load his deal with a shit load of money in 2023 with the cap space we have left.

Smart assessment. <thumbs up emoji>

Yea, well that would be part of my ‘somethings not right’ assessment.

If that were the case Moses would not be publicly saying he has agreed to terms.

Whoever is the back rower playing opposite Ponga this week needs to be ensuring Ponga makes 25 plus tackles this week. And we need to do the same next week. Test out his tackle technique, his confidence and his head.

@Tiger5150 @The Silverdale Phantom Luke Brooks last won a game on April 23, 2022. If he gets a win this Sunday it will be a full calendar year since his last win. Tigers got anything big planned to mark the occasion? Maybe a contract extension?

Zzz, you’re no @Avenger on the trolling hit ups.

Its very exciting......

So remind me how this will play out with Canberra lodging their $1.1m offer with the NRL ? If he signs for (say) $800k with the Bunnies, is that his business or he can't ?

The NRL can't say who a player plays for.

Explain the NRL disallowing the signing of Israel Falou and even Kevin Kingston due to their reasoning of competitive value

NRL seems more flexible these days.

If folau situation happened today under PVL he would have been signed.

Back then we had David Gallop & Rooster man Ian Schubert.

Both of those examples showed the double standards and how of touch the NRL was back then.

I always wonder how Folau would have gone for us if we secured him for 2013.

Would he & Hayne made a deadly combo with the shit we around them.

 

[The Silverdale Phantom]

Pretty weak turning his back on Ricky after all he’s done for him.

He just wants to drink and punch on with Lats.

I suppose that’s a good incentive.

Poor Ricky my heart goes out to him.

Especially as Ricky would never turn his back on anyone.

 

[The Silverdale Phantom]

Ricky is a very complex person, often misunderstood.

Jack is an ungrateful flog.

Seems like it’s often the case of which club is involved, the power of Uncle Nick, Gus and others seems to have a pretty direct influence on outcomes.
Then again, the media mates just say nothing to see here, move along. It’s not difficult to be cynical given what we see occur.
