Maybe not sure about the cap it's still going up so unless we paid him 1.5 a season we should be ok.

Junior talent may actually want to stick around longer and learn under Moses and the new coaching staff
Given this happened so quickly and not bothering to test his value, you'd have to think we're paying in the vicinity of $1.5m a year for at least some of those seasons.

Maybe $7m over 5 years?

Captain…my captain. Moses leading the way on and off the field. It probably won’t get the accolades it deserves as it’s just an extension, but we’ve just locked in one of, if not, the best 7 in the comp. Massive props to the club. I care even less now if Drown stays or goes.

Mate, I just don't think that is true.

From the Parra press release when Dylan re-signed in December 2022:


FFS Barry, we have been through this before. It was a 9 year contract with get out clauses.

Maybe I would say he is on 1.2 now with a percentage increase per season to go with the salary cap increase.

He isn't an idiot he wants to win a premiership and taking all of the cap space won't help that cause.

Not sure what he is on and I know it wont have come cheap, but realistically this is a massive endorsement for Ryles, given that I know for a fact Isaac Moses was over dealing with BA very early on in the Blaize saga last year.

It seems people who are prepared to look past BA are seeing the potential future for the Eels with Ryles at the helm!

Considering he is now the NSW origin and Kangaroo half (albeit temporary) he deserves an upgrade. It makes sense that he got a new deal.
