Every time people talk about Moses - the bull rushes....

He's signed for 2023. Worry about what he is doing next then...It'll sort itself out..
Don't agree. You cant just f**k around and hope for the best when it comes to your highest paid and most influential player. Decisions on Mitch's future will significantly impact the make up of the rest of the squad.

They wear make up ? I did not know that.
Of course, this is Waqa Blake's pre game ritual

Smart and successfull squads have back up plans.
Losing Moses means we have 1 million dollars. The risk we have I feel if we do sign him is in 4yrs time we are going to have a huge mess. I know its a long time way. But we will of lost Jnr,RCG,Guth and Moses all at once. To me that's a ship the sinks for a long time. We'd also start to lose any young guys coming thru. Watch how the Dogs juniors now will get targeted.

I don't mind the idea of losing him to be honest. I think we would just need to re shape the squad and try and keep our pathways coming in.

On juniors my friends boy was apart of Penrith SG ball squad. Made the 30 but recently cut.
He said that the general consensus is Parra have a quite strong SG ball side this year. Lot of talent in the side and much better then last year.

I don’t care if he goes or stays - I’d just hope they’d look to resolve the uncertainty ASAP and have a plan for both scenarios.

If he leaves imagine the Ethan Parry hype that will happen on here 😁

Moses is good. But I just don't think he grabs games by the scruff of the neck. He isn't clutch and not cool under pressure.
I almost feel like he is uncomfortable when trying to stick to a game plan. It's not natural for him.
Plenty will disagree but Cleary,DCE,Hunt and all better halves.

Right now there is a lot of halves getting to end of career and young ones who have yet to do it long enough. It puts Moses higher up the list then he probably would be when there is a healthy amount of halves.

Same goes for HOOKERS. Reed looked a top 5 hooker. Mostly cause of similar reasons. In 2 or 3 yrs time a few can pop up and then both these guys could slide down the ladder quickly.
Its a simple case of supply and demand and right ow there just isn't a lot of supply.

Why Is Mitchell holding out. Is it the length of the contract or the money? Understandable because it will be his last major contract.

I reckon he wants at least 4 years and we are probably offering 2 more at the most. Of course the Tigers are probably offering 5.

Sometime when you’re feeling important;
Sometime when your ego’s in bloom
Sometime when you take it for granted
You’re the best qualified in the room,

Sometime when you feel that your going
Would leave an unfillable hole,
Just follow these simple instructions
And see how they humble your soul;

Take a bucket and fill it with water,
Put your hand in it up to the wrist,
Pull it out and the hole that’s remaining
Is a measure of how you’ll be missed.

You can splash all you wish when you enter,
You may stir up the water galore,
But stop and you’ll find that in no time
It looks quite the same as before.

The moral of this quaint example
Is do just the best that you can,
Be proud of yourself but remember,
There’s no indispensable man.

On the shore did you stand
while the ship of opportunity
cruised by in waters rough?

Did you not see its shadow,
hear its siren calling
you forth into the tide?

Did you not see others, once like you,
standing on decks and
beckoning you forward?

Was the fog too thick,
your eyes too veiled,
the rain too heavy?

Didn’t you see the beacon light
searching across waves
for the newest passenger — you?

Or, perhaps, you were too weary
from landlocked life
and stony paths?

Maybe, you slept on the sand
in a coma of exhaustion
and missed the invitation?

It may be you saw all,
heard all, and chose to
remain steady on the shore

For steady is suitable
and snug like quilts in winter,
and who would fault that?

Safe is a choice as respectable
as adventure and pursuit,
logical in its hesitation

And, so it is, you on the shore,
the hermit crab in her shell,
the unexposed pearl

How sad, that pearl —
undiscovered, unappreciated,
safely snuggled in soft tissue

Oblivious to its value,
content in its prison,
alone with its iridescence

Ah, but the pearl is not you
for the pearl, in all its simplicity,
had no choice.
