Season 2025 Prediction Thread

[JokerEel]

I can’t see any club offering more than $1.2m for Moses, and given his impotence to our team, I’d have no problem with us given him that, even $1.3.

Moses isn’t going to take offers from interstate, or from PNG/NZ which is probably the only places that would offer more

Maybe the Roosters will offer Moses a TV gig once he retires.

Funny how alot of Rooster players end up in the media....

Pou is right about Moses and his track record with injuries.

He certainly starting to tip into the injury prone type category if he gets another injury that rules him out for an extended period.

Has had a few concussions as well.

He is a tough bugger but you would kill to have Moses on the park every week like DCE who never gets injured.

I think we have a pretty good cover for Moses of he needs a few weeks off during the season.

We just need the rest of the squad to be consistent as well and not chopping and changing.

DCE never gets injured but won't win another competition.

Moses already has a tv gig on Fox.

Seems OK to me

He missed five games in 2023, which is reasonable, but last year he missed 16 games. The worrying part is that those 16 games were due to two separate injuries. So that's three injuries in two years that had him out for at least a month. He could come back and play every game this year, which is what we all hope, but it could also be a sign that he has become injury prone. Don't rule it out just because you hope it's not the case.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

you make a good point Pou, can you imagine how hard it would be if he wasn't on the field ?

We'll still be paying him whether he's on the field or watching from the stands. Ask @Pazza about opportunity cost. Only geniuses know about it.

Funny thing is their squad is always fit come finals time ffs

They have been very fortunate.

I’ve been calling him Crandall!

It seems a LOT of people here (myself included) are resigned to the fact Paulo is going to be a drain on our side.

I hope he proves us wrong!

It's going to take a monumental turnaround of his 2023 and 2024 form to be even serviceable IMO. He doesn't exactly have age on his side either...
