Moses will be the organizer - Arthur - Eels Blogs

Listen - https://omny.fm/shows/dead-set-legends-sydney/brad-arthur-on-mitchell-moses-signingPARRAMATTA coach Brad Arthur has confirmed mid-season recruit Mitchell Moses will play this week, and revealed how the Eels plan to use their new playmaker.Arthur told Triple M’s Dead Set Legendsprogram Moses will start in the halves against Canberra on Saturday night, having officially joined the club on Tuesday.“Definitely. He’ll start,” Arthur said.The only question now is what number jumper Moses will wear in the long-term — but Arthur answered that too.He says Moses will wear the No.7 and play as a genuine halfback, despite playing the role of a running five-eighth while at Wests Tigers."That leaves Corey Norman to wear the No.6 and play his running game without added responsibility.Live stream the 2017 NRL Telstra Premiership on FOX SPORTS.

We won't complicate things for him too much. His strength is his running game so we'll encourage him to run. Kenny Edwards and the boys on the right edge will help him, don't worry about that ""The timing is ideal for us with Normy going down," Arthur said. I think it could be a positive for Mitchell. It might give him a good opportunity to take ownership of the team in the next couple of weeks until Normy comes back. That way he can get a feel for it and hopefully they can strike up a combination when Normy returns."

"I reckon this current side might just beat Manly next week such is the Jekyll and Hyde nature of this squad.
BA will be the headliner this week so expect a lift from the players to delay his ass pounding."

"I dated a cousin of blaizes, seen him play a lot of footy before nsw cup. The kid can play, if he doesn't get fucked around by ba he will be a good future player.
You are spot on, keep rewarding mediocre and they will get lazier and lazier. Half…"

Since when has Moses been an organiser or directing half?

Moses game actually reminds me of a young Corey.

  Moses is an on-field talker who can kick and pass.

  Corey best is when he is not being the halfback when he plays what is infront of him and not overthinking this could be quite good for us moses will take time to mature into a halfback dont expect anything amazing this year but corey running game should keep us in the 8 next year though moses and norman will have almost a year playing together and should be a good combination

  Happy birthday Snake, but have you had too much fizz'n stuff?
  
  Last year Moses brained it when Luke Brooks was OUT and he took control of the team and finished with the Tigers Team player award and a stack of man of the match awards. His passing kicking and running game as first receiver were the thrust behind Wests Tigers surge later in the season.
  
  IMO he will be exactly what BA has outspokenly purchased him for.
  
  Enjoy the rest of your birthday mate, they only come a couple of times each year?

  Combing his hair is organised Snake, can't you see that? He probably organises his curled pubes as he slips on his g string undies too. You're being a bit tough on the boy bro,. Give Moses a break. Let it go.
