And according to NRL, Herbert is out til mid season with a knee injury.

We signed Waqa when he was injured for another 6 weeks and he turned out awesome!

Maybe we can then use him to let a not Top 30 player play with an exception

Hope its a club option if true.

Didn't we have the leverage?

We'll probably plan for him to medically retire

‘Time to deliver’: Moses contract saga FINALLY over as league legend doubles down

Moses is now set to sign a bumper five-year deal worth upwards of $1.2 million per-season, despite the Eels losing their first three games of the season.

Not happy with this We have some pretty good kids coming through in the halves. At least we wont have to deal with his cousin for a while...

did we bend over for the extra year?

Yeah, how does it work? Suggestion is that it’s til the end of ‘28, does that make it a 4 year extension given the player option for ‘24? Or do we take it that it’s a 5 year extension because it will supersede the option year?

Will be interesting to know the figure, too. $1.2m a year seems slight overs at the moment (though arguably not with the dearth of halfbacks on the market), but it might be a steal in ‘26, ‘27 and ‘28 if he stays fit and healthy and depending on where the cap lands at that point.

Gutho earned his money tonight. If only his enthusiasm would rub off on the rest of the team. I bet Moses signs real soon.

From last week's game thread. Eelo called it.

If we win a comp in 5 years with Moses it's a steal..
I doubt he would have taken his player option for 24 at 950k when he could of taken 1.2mill

Are you a bird?

Well, I've been called a drongo in my time so anything is possible.

 

[Avenger]

Still a bit of an anti climax. Why don’t we try and get Papali’i to return early? No chance he will last at that rabble.
