How much should we offer Moses ?

[B-Train]

Moses had 44 metres, 0 line breaks, try assists, tackle busts or offloads, 20 tackles with 6 misses and 2 errors.

You'd expect a lot more from the star player on that team considering Lebanon were competitive against the Kiwis.

 

[Brendan7]

Moses was leading most the stats for 7's in 2022

that shows you just how bad the halfbacks were and Hughes missed a huge portion of the year.

Moses is average at best above average on a good day. Not worth the packet he’s on.

How has he gone in big games, Origin terrible, GF worse. Goes to water under pressure

Moses has the skill set. Has the ability.
But has no Gumption to stand up when it matters most. Its abit like the Eminem song.
You get 1 chance to shine dontbdrop your lollies.

Moses drops his lollies every single time.

Both comments are true, but what is also true is we dont have even a competent one let alone a top 4 halfback. Reynolds, Cleary, Hughes, Hynes, Hunt and DCE are above Moses but that is probably about it. We either jag him or one of the ones above him or we have to sit on our for another few years until we develop one, before we once again challenge for a premiership..

And that is the key.
We cannot wait to develop.
That happens in the background.
Need a good halve and need him now.

I’d take the second option as it’s not a million dollars plus for a 7th at best halfback

Money is always going to be an issue though unless you breed one. Even shit halfbacks like Flange jag silly contracts with $500k salaries, so any of the top half a dozen no 7's like the ones i mentioned are going to be north of that if we want to sign them. Hunt, Cleary, DCE, Hughes, Renyolds and Hynes are all tied to contracts so they are not really an option and all of them would ask at least $700 plus to play for us.

Its either wait or try and steal a Moses, Hastings type of half based on us being a potential premiership oppitunity.

I am taking the wait approach if the alternative is Moses on a million plus when he doesn’t deliver in big games. He’s not Munster jeez and that’s Munster money

 

[The Faz]

People on here have Stockholm Syndrome ffs. They’re in love with what we have and unwilling to try something else. Moses, in a different environment, will fucking shine and propel us into the top four.

Still need a top shelf prop though.

this is what happens when there is a shortage of quality halves in the market...and when there is a short supply u pay premium for a halfback like Moses....and if we sign up Moses for 3 or 4 years what happens to BBO? Difficult decision

and got smashed by his team mate brown and lost the ball LMAO

Yeah I know and agree that’s dumb. But what is the alternative, is all I am saying.

You can want Flanagan gone and also not want to pay a million for Moses. Nth Qld got Dearden and Townsend and made the top 4. Sure there aren't great options on the market, but surprise options always pop up or people you don't expect like the two Cowboys halves end up looking great..

Why not Moses at 1M with a cheap non-spine position, rather than a shitty 500k halfback with another 400k non-spine position?

I can assure you, Moses would be more influential amd beneficial to the team.

Dearden is an anomoly not the norm. Townsend is a GF winning halfback. Moses is a top 5 halfback. You get the chance to sign him then you do. He also has the combo with Reed Mahoney & they just took the Eels to the GF.
