Not re-signed by Tigers, nor has he been signed by anyone else. Weird IMO, I would like the Tigers to re-sign him and rate him higher than many of our backs, in particular Nofa. Weird that he hasnt gone anywhere. I think there must be more to the story and wonder if his injury last year isnt worse than reported or have some lingering issues.
I like signing players that are fighting for their footballing future.
I think you mean son-in-law, Bruno?
No problem with signing him as depth but like most on here Im hoping for at least one quality back signing.
He had a perforated bowel earlier in the year.
I'm not attempting to disprove that point. I'm saying it's irrelevant. The fact of players being able to play worse from one year to the next shouldn't (and doesn't) stop clubs signing them.
I'm sure they do. It is considered less likely (not impossible) for younger players and more likely (not inevitable) for older players. But they still need to sign players, any of which might play worse the following year, or the year after that.
Which 30 players do you think finished ahead of him?
I don't remember it.
He appeared in 11 NRL games, including the final eight, while half a dozen other top 30 forwards played reserve grade. Hardly an example of a minimum salary player. It's just lucky that we got him so cheap, though understandable given his poor form in reserve grade prior to this year.
His annual stats are at the bottom, under 'Career by Season': https://www.nswrl.com.au/players/nsw-cup/parramatta-eels-nsw-cup/luca-moretti/
Well we'll see how another pre-season treats him. Form isn't static. Momoisea and Moretti are proof of that. And recency bias is a killer.
Glenneel only likes discussions where merkins agree with each other.
I think you’ll find the irrelevancy in this discussion about player performance is them signing with clubs, other than that being further evidence one way or another of their performance. Do you reckon will see a Moimosea extension in the future based on how he’s gone so far?
This could easily be gotcha moment. Players getting better/worse was the crux of my argument. Whether they signed or not, see above for relevancy.
The other players who played NRL excluding Jrthur as he left, plus Ky Rodwell.
I reckon you are the only one here who don’t.
You’re gotcha. Fine take your pick of the experienced, highly skilled but highly error prone Lumelume, who’d I’d have ahead of the reserve grade dominant Rodwell, who’d I’d have ahead of the speedy potential of AMS who showed more effort than Moimosea. Mataele is another to consider but I’m not convinced his defence issues would cover the gap to AMS.
Except this year when Moretti’s stats shit on Moimosea’s. And also shows Moimosea had his worse season since his first with Knights. Almost like one player got better while the other got worse. But hey it could mean they go the other way in 2024.
Recency bias in determining where players sit at a point in time is perfectly acceptable.
Pou and 84 have been debating the same subject for pages and pages now trying to out bore each other, including us. There must be other subjects they can bore people with. Nothing against an exchange of ideas and opinions but different ideas and opinions would help.
