even Old Uncle Benny cant get it out of his nephew

I would rather lose an outside back and have a gun 7.

so I’m assuming we are talking about Cleary or Jarohme Hughes then right? Moses is a mid range half.

 

[Brendan7]

Nothing to do with your post. You were saying Lachlan Ilias got Souths to the prelims ‍♂

Was very good actually and shows you give players a go that you have first

so you don’t think Moses makes the kiwi side? I think he would be the first picked.

Balmain legend Benny Elias says Mitchell Moses should stay with Parramatta Eels
Dean Ritchie
EXCLUSIVE

He is the Balmain legend who will always hold an abiding love for his Wests Tigers.

But Ben Elias has a strong message for his nephew and Tigers target Mitchell Moses: “If you’re happy at Parramatta then re-sign.”

Moses, 28, comes off contract after next season and is wrestling with massive interest — all worth more than $1 million a season — from Parramatta, the Tigers and Canterbury.

The Bulldogs are also interested in off-contract Penrith centre Stephen Crichton, who the Panthers are trying to re-sign now that Origin winger Brian To’o has been retained until the end of 2027.

Like Parramatta, Penrith are battling an incredibly tight salary cap but still hope to make a respectable offer to Crichton, who is being courted to play fullback at Canterbury.

The Bulldogs may find it challenging to squeeze both Moses and Crichton under their burgeoning cap, as they also look to upgrade five-eighth Matt Burton’s contract.

While the Tigers remain keen on Moses, it goes against Elias’s black-and-gold heart to admit his nephew should remain an Eel.

“My belief has always been that you stay somewhere where you’re happy and life couldn’t be any better for Mitch. Sometimes you have to put family and blood over club loyalty,” Elias said.

“I totally understand Mitch’s dilemma and his frustration over what to do but he’s happy then he should stay.

“Parramatta are a great side so you’re comparing a grand final side with a team that got the wooden spoon. It’s a long year when you’re struggling, trust me so if you’re happy and you know it clap your hands.

“Selfishly I’d love him to come to the Tigers – a club that will always be in my heart – but if you’re after satisfaction and happiness then why shift clubs?

“What’s the saying? Better the devil you know.

“The Eels have been very good to Mitch so I reckon they’re the favourites. Parramatta is desperate to keep him and he wants to win a premiership.

“I get asked every day where Mitchell is going and, it’s only my opinion, but if he’s content, why move? Mitch loves Parramatta.

“Ever since I’ve known Mitch’s father, he has been a tragic Parramatta supporter. Those little things help make your decision.”

Moses has also attracted considerable interest from the Queensland-based Dolphins.

With a young family and now happily settled in Sydney’s inner-west, it appears increasingly unlikely Moses would uproot his life for Redcliffe.

“Mitch hasn’t told me whether Gus has contacted him but I know he is settled in Sydney and won’t leave,” Elias said.

“Any side that doesn’t have a halfback would want Mitchell Moses. Why wouldn’t you? Mitchell speaks well, he’s a great ambassador and a crowd-pleaser.

“I was with Andrew Johns on Saturday and Joey is a real big fan of Mitchell. All those great halfbacks, Joey, Peter Sterling, Johnathan Thurston, they all became great from the age of 26 onwards.”

Meanwhile, former Manly prop Martin Taupau remains unsigned for next season. Five clubs are understood to be interested in the World Cup forward but are being hindered by the game’s failure to nail down a CBA and salary cap.

Yeah that worked out well for us didn’t it? Wakeham LOL.

Time to buy a 7. No one coming through looks anywhere near ready. We’ve wasted too much time thinking we’ve had the next big thing only to be disappointed when they come into first grade

Reading between the words i think he is coming to the dogs....Gould is been very quiet about everything...something must be brewing

 

[1967]

He was so close to signing that time. He wanted to come as part of.package deal with Woods and Teddy but Des said no and Teddy decided to sign for Roosters..

Pretty sure Tedesco was preferring to sign with us until uncle Nick whispered in his ear they’d signed Cooper Cronk .. getting to play and train along side him was the difference I believe ..

I think the brown paper bags might have had something to do with his decision.

I am thinking and hoping the same !

 

[Stinger]

I've been trying to tell you guys that but too many snowflakes on TK. Offended and hurt my feelings type.

Is that you Nash?

No, and this is a fact. Tedesco , woods and Moses all wanted to come to us as. A package but Hasler wanted Foran so said no. We ended up with just woods

 

[flamebouyant]

They banned Nasheed unfairly so I would say they have been very strict.

And you will be banned again you racist troll!

 

[GUSLER]

Woods told a few of us at a bulldogs corporate event

I can't seem to recall but was Tedesco any good at the tigers? I remember him being injury prone.. In hindsight the package looked good. Up and coming fullback, inconsistent halfback and rep prop.

Woods was the set of free steak knives in that package deal.

Teddy was injury proned but the talent and freakish ability was as clear as it could be.
