Rumours and Stuff

[King-Gutho94]

I'd say majority. How many top shelf halfback where still top shelf at age 31? What age did they decline?

I can't think of any elite halfbacks that where garbage at 31. Most where in peak still. Cronk didn't get to the Roosters till he was 32 ffs.

Cronk was 34 when he arrived at chooks

Don't you need speed, agility and flexibility to be a good kicker?

Majority of 25 year olds are going to be better kickers of a ball then 50 year olds...

Of course there are exceptions to this. But when talking about giving a player a longer contract with a pay upgrade you need to be talking probabilities not possibilities.

As Moses ages it is more likely his kicking game will regress than it will remain the same or improve.

But Moses isn't going to be 50? He's going to be in his early 30's. What he supposedly loses in long range kicking he'll gain in experience.

 

[emjaycee]

Good.

Means we shouldn't be paying Moses more then we need to...

We will be paying him whatever he and his manager determine is sufficient for him to stay.
What other clubs have or havent offered isn't always a factor in negotiations, despite what the press would try and sell to the masses.

Hmm so my little birds where right from the start.....

Your birds….

 

[crocodile]

Mate can you kindly f**k off and post on your own forum, your opinion isn't valued here.

Got a reaction though.

@Black Panther taking the stuff he reads on here as gospel.
Suppose that puts him at the same level as Dean Ritchie, so he should be able to earn a dollar out of it.

 

[84 Baby]

Why would he do that. There’s no other player he would be interested in at parramatta.

It’s cause he’s f**ked his own cap and is hoping the rest of the comp pressures the NRL.
If the NRL raises the finger to players, he’ll be leading the strike.

My doggies are soooo f**ked for a 7. Moses gone, we are screwed. f**k Kyle Flanagan for this tho. Good job on fighting Gus off, not many can do it.

Do you really need a 7 when you have Burton? You just need a kicking game. The Storm and Sharks went alright with two five-eighths. Maybe because it adds up to ten-eighths, which is one-and-a-quarter.

Is Black panther and LordeAsh the same person?

Whereas a 5/8 and 1/2 only equals 9/8. I think you're onto something here.

*EDIT* Dogs have only 235 first grade games of experience in their spine (if Perham does play fullback)

 

[Avenger]

Well done to parra on re signing Bitchell Moses.

Thanks. I’m with @hindy111, hang around mate. The Dogs and their rebuild will be interesting.

I would say his kicking will be one of the things that won’t decline, at least noticeably. I would expect him to decline in speed, strength and especially durability. His decision making should continue to improve as well.

These are generalisations that tend to hold true for a half.

Kicking is technique and timing, more than it is power or strength, so it's quite possible Moses' kicking game improves.

Decision making though is key, because that gives more time, and with a decline in speed , strength and durability having more time can compensate for those losses.

And at his age there's still plenty of room to improve decision making.

For mine that's the only real weakness in his game right now, and what separates him from the top echelon of halves.

That's two halves but with a bonus half a half!

Why hasn't someone cottoned onto this earlier?

 

[Gary Gutful]

As soon as Moses is announced we will be everyone’s favourites again to win the comp especially after a few standout performance by our new 9.

The deathriders and the premiership window shutters will be silenced.

Until we lose a game.

 

[Gary Gutful]

You are investing more money in a 31 year old Moses then a 28 year old Moses.

You are gambling on the hope he will get better - when history tells us he will probably get worse.

We probably only invested a third of that in Sterlo FFS. Club spending is out of control!

Dean Ritchie, I’m offended.

Nana was the original cooker.
