Rumour Mitchell Moses

[BELMORE]

I disagree if he doesn’t play they lose by 20

Well he played and they lost? What are you disagreeing with?

I’m disagreeing he is as bad as some are making out.
you put him in our team and we are a much better team.

There’s players in every team that if you put them in our team they make it better… that’s not a big wrap.

We might be better but we don't go any closer to breaking a premiership drought with the Myth of pressure moments.

Thats because we are starting at a very low base with Flanagan .Put anybody else other than Flanagan in our team and we will look better.

No one is saying he's a bad player.
The point is, he goes flaccid when the money shot's on.

so please tell me how many years it took Thurston to not only get cowboys to the gf but win one?
Was he not an elite player until he won the competition?

I think most just hate his arrogance and the fact he plays for the eels. All I’m saying is if he played for us he gives us a much better chance playing in top 4

Fair point....but your forgetting JT won a premiership in 04 albeit from the bench.

 

[Dogmonster]

Should have signed Katoa.
He will be the next big thing.
Bennett so smart getting him.
He is the main dominant half already.

Why? We have olopu wraps just as big.

 

[DogsOfWar1704]

He had 2 runs for 4 metres, 17 tackles with 5 misses and only 200 kick metres.
That’s far from dominant mate.

Katoa really hasn’t impressed me that much so far. Still a better ball player than the centre

 

[D.O.W.]

Agree, he’s also got a good experienced forward pack to work with adding referees are being particularly “kind” to the dolphins to ensure there safe passage.

If you watch both Katoa and Oloapu play, they almost look identical in how they behave and move, but Oloapu looks far more skillful and looks to have a great deal more potential. He’s just crisp and smart. The second he hits first grade there will be no looking back….

 

[Lynchpin]

All I’m saying is if he played for us he gives us a much better chance playing in top 4

A better chance? Maybe.
Not sure if just dropping Moses into any of our recent teams (under the prevailing coaches and culture) would have instantly catapulted us to the top 4, but let's say you're right.

My point (& others presumably) is Top 2-4 is his ceiling.
Why? Because right when it's his time to shout a round (on that massively inflated paycheck), he ducks off to the bathroom and can't be found.
10 mins later he's back, drinking the beer someone else bought him and telling you how much money he's paid.

This is why he's better suited to stay at the Eels, or take the lottery prize with the Tigers. Just making the 8, the 4, or even the GF is a successful year in those places.

But, people were talking him up for the Bulldogs. We demand premierships. And sure, you might say you have to make the 8, the 4, or the GF first but it's not that:

You have to aim to win "The Whole F*(k-ing Thing!"

Aiming for second won't cut it.

A good 7 is a must but fun fact last 10 years of GF only 3 Clive Churchill winners have been halfbacks. Cronk in 12 against us, JT in 15 and Cleary in 21.

Parra fans saying we are back in the hunt? Ffs lol

100 percent. We are trying to break this premiership drought. It will be a process, rushing in and signing a million dollar player who crumbles under pressure would only extend our drought even further.

have a read and look what I posted about Thurston.

 

[Lynchpin]

Yep. Thurston was exactly like Moses except more talented, a winner at Origin & Test level, had already won a comp at the Dogs (2004), and had a finals winning percentage (the big stage) of 55% versus 33%.
Apart from that, they're almost identical.

Who knows, given a $1.2-$1.4mil incentive, maybe Moses can turn it all around over the course of his next contract.
"Your shout Mitch!"
