Rumours and Stuff

Something will give with Moses. He'll either get the release when Brooks is back and has a few games under his belt or finish the year in reserve grade IMO. Personally I've always said if I were in that situation as a coach I'd let the merkins go. No point having a bloke who doesn't want to be there, I don't think NRL players would deliberately play shit (bar a few merkins) but a guy who couldn't care less is hardly going to win you many tough games. We saw that with Moses even yesterday tbh.

I also think the Tigers are as much at fault as Manager Moses in the whole situation. They basically told him he was worth a million to them, then changed their minds and said he was worth nothing to them until Woods and Tedesco signed....
We don't know how much they offered but I highly doubt it was anywhere near $1M.

Why am I seeing Gutho's name mentioned as a trade? Why would we trade our best player to get Moses this year?

I'm not saying it's on here but reading social media Gutho's name keeps coming up.......

Does BA think we can win comp this year? I doubt it. He is building for 2018.
We do not need moses this year. But if he does come the last 8 rounds would be fine to have him and Norman gel a little.
The coach isnt going to give players part of the 2018 build to try and scrap in bottom of 8 this season. Fact is Moses is signed. We do not have to give them anything and shouldn't.
If they want to save 250-300k and help for 2018 they should let him go. But BA and Gurr arent giving up guys part of our future.

IMO if you are the Tigers the smart play is to realease Moses but in the process, try to squeeze some sort of value out of us. However in doing so, they need to be careful because with every round his value goes down. I'd approach it like the European Football transfer windows. Might as well get something now instead of losing the bloke for nothing.

You're seeing Gutho's name on social media because you're reading social media?

Ok so having observed this circus from a distance and the media commentary following it I've come to the conclusionthat whilst Moses has signed with us next year, he himself wants to finish the season with his mates at concord and I'm cool with that...

Parramatta and uncle Isaac have been putting pressure on the kid to ask Ivan for a release directly but doesn't want to, Ivan is aware that the kid doesn't want to leave the club right now and has told the media that if he wants a release than the kid approach him about it himself... smart play from Ivan

Meanwhile I think BAs acting a little too desperate by declaring that he'd like the kid to be at the club righ now...

Personally, I want us to move on from him this year and see if we can use the money left in our cap this year to get us a 9 and possibly another middle forward to cover for Peni.

If the only way we get Moses for 2017 means losing Gutho, then I'll happily wait until 2018 to see Moses in blue and gold. Gutho should be allowed to go Nowhere......

Period - that's what I'll get if we lose Gutho....

The release Manu or Gutho or French came from the Pelicans on Fox in a what if scenario. Nobody has actually said that it is seriously being discussed.

I can tell you now he wants out, now. He doesn't want to stay.

Brother, the door is open for him now if he personally approaches Ivan... he publicly sent him an invitation that's weird for him to put it out there...

By the way has anyone seen the tigers 21 man squad for the dogs game?

Haven't seen the official list but hear Brooks is named in 21... Ivan would release Moses if he asked for it tmrw IMO given Brooks seems ready to play and was apparently close to playing yesterday
