Widnes and ex Storm centre, Aaron Moule, has signed a 2 year deal with the Sea Eagles after rejecting a 1 year extension to continue playing for Widnes.

I hope he can stay injury free :?

Apparently not, he's turned his back on Manly to stay in the ESL with Widnes, according to reports this morning.

I thought your management announced his signing, look I know you guys struggle to attract players (without paying over the odds) but this is ridiculous, I am sure Zorba announced it, and now it looks like he won't be coming.

On the Widnes and official ESL site, it says he's re signed for a further 2 years??????

BTW here's the article: I hope it's wrong for Manly sake.

Vikings retain Moule


22nd September 2004.

Widnes Vikings have beaten off a challenge from Manly Sea Eagles to re-sign Aussie centre Aaron Moule.

Moule, who scored two tries in 16 games for the Vikings before injuring his knee against Wigan Warriors in July, has signed a two year deal.

It is believed the 27 year old has turned his back on a three year deal to return to the NRL with Manly.

"Aaron showed us enough this season to suggest he is going to be a great asset to us in 2005," said a Vikings spokesman. "His injury came at a time when he was starting to fly and now that he is fully recovered we are elated he has decided to stay."

Is there a chance there may be more to the Ben Harris rumour than just fish and chips?

Alberts gone and a possibility Moule is as well......

I can honestly say that for your sakes I hope it's Anderson - Harris and not Craigie - Hill....

2 tries in 16 games? That is diabolical, geez, even a bench front rower like Leuleui (or however the hell you spell it) has probably racked up more tries than that.

So much for Moule wanting to make a "return to the NRL" - I figure the English pound was probably more appealing than returning to the NRL...good luck to him.

Back to the drawing board for centres...

Wobbygong, the latest for you in this saga......!

Manly Daily - Adam Lucius

Manly bound centre Aaron Moule has been booked on the first flight home to Australia after relevations he has signed a contract with 2 clubs in either hemisphere.

The Sea Eagles announced Moule’s acquisition on Friday but were stunned to find out yesterday that the premiership winning back had also re signed with his English club Widnes.

A telephone hook up between Moule, his Management team and the Sea Eagles was hastily arranged last might in an attempt to sort out the mess.

I’m mystified by all this. I’m not exactly sure what’s happened (at Widnes)” Moule’s Manager Darryl Mather said last night.

But it is firm and clear from SFX’s point of view that the first contract he signed will be the one he is required to honour”

It seems the boy may have been comprised in some way but he’ll be here on the first plane home to play for Manly.”

Mather’s comment were in direct contrast to a statement released on the Widnes website yesterday and carried news bulletins in Australia.

It read “Aaron showed us enough this season to suggest he is going to be a great assets to us in 2005”

“His injury came at a time when he was starting to fly and now that his fully recovered we are elated he has decided to stay.”

Manly CEO Paul Cummings countered: “He’s ours. We got a legally binding agreement accepted by him. “And if in anyway that’s changed we’ll sue the arse off them (Widnes).”

Manly coach Des Hasler was hopeful of a swift resolution.

“He’s a quality player who is a big part of our plans for 2005,” he said.
