He's the last piece in the re-signing puzzle. We knew exactly what our budget was. We know Waqa and Brown will both be gone next year and their replacements will be cheaper. There's no way we overpayed relative to the rest of our cap. And if he manages to win us a comp, then any price will be the bargain of the century.

I wonder who the Tigers are going to waste 1.4 mill a season on now they missed out on Moses..

Maybe they Can get Josh Reynolds or Mbye back..

They will no doubt go big for Sualii. As good a player as this kid is I get the impression he will always have his club or code under pressure re his next move. Personally I wouldnt go there.
Someone like Christian Welsh would be a huge benefit to The Tigpies. Api will help unless hes looking for a well paid retirement plan. Ill be watching Ice closely to see if he replicates his Eels form. Still my second favourite team. Lets go Tigpies!

Comparing to Munster is a great way to ensure we do not overpay our highest paid player.

I think it would be neglectful of MON to not draw comparisons.

Dont discount Munsters off field issues Nanna. Yeah hes a great player on his day but without Bellamy in his ear who knows what hes likely to provide. More than happy with Mitch. Hes such a tough player now days. Besides my youngest Grandie would have been devistated not being able to wear her Number 7 "MOSES" Jersey.

Feeling for the Tigers TBH. Maybe we should mend bridges with a gesture of goodwill. We don't need him.

I think the Rooster are moving away from him and why they signed Dominic Young. From what I have heard Penrith didn't bother with him from a young age knowing he was going to always chase $$ and big clubs would circle. I'm guessing they'd know his family.

Of the promising kids out there Koula is the one I look forward to seeing this season. Reminds me of a young Michael Jennings.

I think he might be signed up for a few years still? Unsure.

I also think Brooks is a solid halfback. People need to understand when your sides going shit you need to take larger risks and Brooks does that. He also has played behind shit packs and no real weapons. The spine is far from the worse in comp. I don't mind it.

This year he gets Api. And I feel a very strong pack and a weapon in Papali'i. The fullback is an attacking dynamo and I can see Dane Laurie going up a gear. Wouldn't suprise me if he explodes and is in your top 7 fullbacks this season.

I'd go as far as saying it could be one of the better packs in the competition.

How come kicking game never declines in a half back?

I think it would eventually decline but not within the age range of an NRL player. Look at all the old merkins playing at the top level in the soccer world cup. Whatever they've lost in athleticism is compensated by the extra years mastering their skill with the ball.

I'm not saying Moses won't decline as an NRL player over the course of this contract. I just don't think his kicking game will suffer.
