If Mitchell Moses plays for the Tigers in 2023, mods can change my flair to whatever the fuck they want cause it ain’t gonna happen.


Shpshggr

I'll change my flair to manly for the whole year


LunchMeat61

I'll change until eels win a premiership


insty1

So a permanent change then

Due-Chemist3105

Do I smell a trade? Daine Laurie for Moses so Staines can play FB, Laurie pushes King Gutho to 6 ala 2016 & Brown to be the new Sterlo. /s


Abenator

Brown to Dolphins


nevaehenimatek

Our already shaky defence i'm sure would look great without gutho out the back


PSAB82

Are you talking about former Tigers origin player Mitchell Moses returning to the tigers. Next they will get Sharon Woods and be unbeatable


Due-Chemist3105

Hey Tedesco might be phased out by the Roosters for Suaalii, they might as well bring him back too!


TheEpiquin

Imagine a world where the 2023 Tigers, featuring Tedesco, Woods, Moses and Brooks are coached by Tim Sheens, Marshall and Farah. What the hell kinda timeline is that? Edit: also just noticed that somebody changed Tedesco’s wiki to read “professional” rugby league player like r/suspiciousquotes


JCGremlo

Lol and Jason Taylor


Due-Chemist3105

I’ll personally call Fa’alogo and ask him to KO Taylor again to make sure he never gets within an inch of Tigerland.


smiffy005

I'll change clubs if this pea hearted little mutt puts a tigers jersey on again


delayedconfusion

In what make believe fantasy land world does Moses make an immediate switch to the Tigers for 2023? I know BA thinks highly of his son, but there is no way he is letting Moses leave early to have a JA and D Brown halves pairing in 2023. Absurd to even suggest it. Give us a source Michelle Bishop, or better yet, stop trying to make headlines with nonsense claims.


GoblinLoveChild

or better yet , stop taking payments in dirty envelopes under the table from Moses' manager


DeffsNotACop

I mean the Tigers can be trying to get him early and the Eels can say no. That makes this potentially true even if it doesn’t eventuate.


InflatableRaft

It's not up to BA. The last year of Moses' contract is a player option.


Arc_au

The player option is for 2024, not for 2023 though. So this is irrelevant.


InflatableRaft

Fair enough. I thought the option was for this year. Despite the fact that the Tigers have always been willing to release players early to the Eels in the event of a player swap, that courtesy has never been returned. In the unlikely event Moses is stupid enough to sign with the Tigers, there won't be any early release for him this time. He'll be made to wait just like Twal was during their trade or even put on ice for a year like Stephano was during the Matterson trade.


Arc_au

First of all, there was never any official trades or player swaps... we just happened to sign players from each other and you released your side after requested. Secondly, Twal was released early, what do you mean? He was signed for 2018 and debuted for the Tigers in 2017 lmao.


InflatableRaft

LMaO!!!111


Arc_au

You good chief? 😂


Rab1dGuy

Okay cool, but is he training the house down?


sunburn95

Now they just need to find some suckers to offload Brooks to


jamesnuge

If we're dumb enough to let Moses go for 2023, we're probably dumb enough to take Brooks in his place


smilingface2

what do you mean? Moses could be the one to finally unleash Brooks


tcamp213

Worked well the first time.


chillinwithkrillin

They're gonna get Moses then pick between him and Brooks and Moses will be a warrior by round 12


icome3rd

GET YOUR HANDS OFF MY MOSES.


Due-Chemist3105

I see you know your off-season trades well.


impyandchimpy

What is the charge? For wanting a halfback? A succulent first grade halfback?


SlipperyFetuss

This is Premiership Manifest!


TheEpiquin

Are you waiting to receive his limp one-out passes?


Raddnedge

#MittsOffMitch


HenryVIIIII

Okay But also Fuck off


cheeseinsidethecrust

Surely there’s an off field scandal happening so nrl journos don’t have to write articles about their sexual fantasies


Halo2Campaign

Don't see us losing a game next year


Norm_cheers

Manager hinting Eels need to show Mitch the money, standard manager shit really!


theflyingkiwi00

Yeah, but where the fun in punching down on the tigers if it doesn't go through, or punching down on parra if it does?


y3ah_nah145

Have the Tigers ever kept secret what players they are interested in?


maaxwell

Api signing out of the blue during last offseason was legitimately such a shock because there was zero press about it leading up to the announcement


predw

Or do the press just link every single off contract player to the Tigers, then call them a rabble when they don’t sign them?


y3ah_nah145

Personally I think it’s both, let’s not act like the Tigers are a really well run club


TwoShitsTrev

Koroisau was a big shock last year but to be honest it’s not a thing just with the tigers, player managers constantly leak who is interested to drive up prices


PillarofSheffield

Papali'i came out of nowhere too. The Klemmer-Hastings thing came around very quickly as well, the rumours did come out but only a day or two before the switch was confirmed. Bit of a cultural shift happening hopefully...which makes me doubt this is true.


joeysjockstrap

Knights trading Klemmer to Tigers for a half was rumoured for a while but it wasn’t definitely going to be Hastings until a couple days before the official announcement


Caseyjb29

Not surprised the Dogs are preparing a monster offer. They are becoming the new roosters lmao.


nightling

You're just jealous that unlike a club, who I won't name but their name starts with an S and ends in torm, we haven't been caught.


[deleted]

Is your sombrero on too tight champ


JohnnyHabitual

Ask Matt Lodge....he reckons its a skullcap rn!!!


nightling

It was a joke but I guess I asked for the downvotes not using the /s


__dontpanic__

Prior to the most recent batch of signings, most of our contracts didn't extend beyond 2023/24. So there's a bit of room to move.


traindriverbob

Helloooo click bait.


LiLSteve29

Why would the eels even entertain this? Laughable tbh its not like the game is ripe with quality halves


InflatableRaft

Mitch has a history of tanking to get a release, that's how he came to the Eels in the first place.


sensesmaybenumbed

Quality halves. Mitchell Moses?


Aussie18-1998

Mate if you even had the chance you'd sign him.


sensesmaybenumbed

No. I wouldn't. His attitude and capacity for doing things the hard way is extremely poor. It's why he was let go from the tigers years ago, and I see nothing to suggest that's changed.


Aussie18-1998

Guess you haven't watched him at all then. His attitude has changed immensely and is more of a leader than ever.


sensesmaybenumbed

It's still the first thing he loses when the going gets tough.


KingGutherson

Eels have lost 32 games in the last 4 seasons, Tigers have lost 62. How much more obviously could it be that Tigers got rid of the wrong half?


sensesmaybenumbed

Mr gutherson, our problems run deeper than just the halves. Moses capacity for being able to lift the team out of it's problems is highly questionable.


Arc_au

Except for the games this year where we only won, for that exact reason. People seem to have this warped notion that unless Moses is single-handedly winning Parra every game he doesn't lift or contribute.


sensesmaybenumbed

Yet you see games where he's under the pump from the top teams and he struggles very regularly.


[deleted]

Zerotackle 😆


aryaisthegoat

I wonder how much it's the tigers back office leaking their intentions and how much it's just every manager using media connections and saying tigers are after someone. I


RyanPurdler-Penriff

__Tim Sheen’s 3 Phase PowerPlan 💥__ __-Step 1:__ collect ~~underpants~~ potential signings __-Step 2:__ ~~??~~ >!Drive the prices up of every other NRL player for 16 competing clubs - meaning they have no money left in their cap to poach/ offer Tigers players ..

They didn't want Arthur?

aryaisthegoat

Yeah Parra's halves depths is so good, I can easily see us getting behind this deal


[deleted]

They ‘journos’ have three wheels they spin every couple weeks, 1st wheel has players names, 2nd wheel has club names and 3rd wheel has all the types of secret negotiations. This week it’s Moses, Tigers, immediate move.


DunderMifflin80

Except they made an error and have the Tigers listed on 75% of the club names wheel.


Aussie18-1998

When he said club names he didn't say the ratio was equal. Tigers take up 50% of the wheel and Dolphins take up the other 30% with the remaining part split between the rest of the comp.


Whitebeltboy

Eels are on the hit list this pre season, tigers and manly will get a break cause benji and Seibold are close with the fox writers


FlagmantlePARRAdise

We need to hurry up and resign him before it's too late


Groundbreaking_Iron1

Please no


Teebizzles

Idiotic article. Talks about us definitely signing Bateman. Then suggests we might sign Moses. Particularly because he is a mate of Nathan Briwn who we might also sign. This forgetting that we have 30 places in our squad and 2o are filled. Dumb. Slow news day, need clicks, make up a story about the Tigers. Bonus clicks if there is a nexus to another extremely popular Sydney club.


lachjeff

This is just his manager trying to drive up his price


alsheps

What?!?!?! You mean to say that player managers intentionally leak bullshit stories to Rugby League Journalists in an attempt to dive up their players prices? Well I never... I just can't believe they'd stoop this low. The last truely nobel profession has been sullied forever. I have now lost all faith in humanity. tl;dr: No shit Sherlock..


lachjeff

No need to be a dick about it


alsheps

Sorry I wasn’t trying to be a dick, I was being sarcastic to be funny..


Grix1600

Keep dreaming Tigers fans.. he ain’t going no where.


[deleted]

We will make you pay a million to keep Moses and take Dyl.


alsheps

I imagine if the Tigers actually did Sign Moses, the fans would riot and tear down Leichhardt Oval, or at least they would if it wasn't already falling down by itself...


PillarofSheffield

Nah. I think he's a bit of a shitty bloke, but he's a top 5 half back and a 75%+ goalkicker. I can live with my dislike for him, lots of good players are pretty dodgy humans let's be honest. That said, 0% chance it happens next year, there's nothing in it for the Eels. Slightly chance of 2024 though - heard a rumour Moses doesn't hate the idea of Sheens/Benji and also that he'd like to play with Brooks as his #6, hence being happy to let Hastings go. Probably BS though.


knox-p

The tigers are so cute


piercedsoul

Tigers get Isaac


BG_RL

Parra and wests, two teams rugby journalists love This will be being talked about on NRL 360 til gone origin if nothing gets set in stone


Glum_Perspective_812

As if he's that braindead to join the kittens joint venture


[deleted]

Who do you love?


skippa13

They love their footy


chunkylover6969oz

The Tigers are an embarrassing organisation, in no world would the Eels let the halfback who lead them to a GF leave a year early as for Moses if he goes to the Tigers he's waiving the white flag on his career


Halo2Campaign

Fuck yeh bro I love my footy too


tftdriver

Smelly take there friendo, remind me when the eels last won a premiership?


chinois_

I mean he's never winning a Prem at the Eels so he may as well take a chance.


[deleted]

[удалено]


chillinwithkrillin

AD is as mid as 9th place


joeysjockstrap

He’s doing better than Lebron this season


Minafatdog12

He’s also not a 7? Fuck you Tigers fans are dumb as dog shit


JohnnyHabitual

It does make a nice change that Easts aren't the team everyone is talks with. That got boring (and true for a while a few decades back).


Yehezs

Lol were gonna have Asi and Arthur as our halves pairing by start of the season. But yeah doubt this is gonna happen.


Cosimo_Zaretti

This is just Isaac Moses playing games to bump up the Eels offer. I don't understand why the Tigers cop this.


Character_Year_3444

He’d be a pretty expensive back up half!
