MOSES TO STAY IN THE BLUE AND GOLD
Parramatta’s chief playmaker Mitchell Moses has reporedly taken up the option in his contract for 2022 — and in an even bigger boost for the club he’s set to extend for a further three seasons beyond that.
Moses had until this round to make a call on whether he’d take up the option or not. The Australian’s Brent Read is reporting the 26-year-old has taken up that option and will also sign a new deal with the club.
“I’ve got some breaking news, it was option day for Mitchell Moses — he’s got an option in his contract for next season,” Read told Triple M.
“It’s my understanding that not only will he take up that option but will now extend his deal with Parramatta for at least three seasons.
“So that’s the word that’s coming out of Parramatta on Mitchell Moses.”

One of matterson or lane, possibly even both, will be casualties of re-signing moses, Brown and eventually gutho.
Interesting as Lane still has next year contracted and Matto and option in his favour. Lanes better when off the bench and playin prop, been vg the last few weeks.
I have been calling for that move since the back end of last season, I expect next season to be the last for one or both, if not sooner. If it was up to me matterson would be the one to go.
Coryn what makes the decision much harder is that each of our signed players all bring something to the team in quality and work. Papali'i in particular is a very deceiving player, as he looks like squib, he stands 2cm above Stone, but is also 12Kg's heavier than Stone. Stone is a better player than many do not rate, yet both add a lot in different ways. Papa, came here on a reduced contract from what he would have been playing on with the warriors to play with a better team as its turned out. I think many opposing teams laughed about him but,he is a very big key signing and long term eels player.
We have no real problems with our pack, but its the backs which concern me for the future.
colin, the R&R merry go round never stops.
Before the ink dries from sign / re sign 1 player, then it is immediately "NEXT"!
No where like the R&R of old days, Rest and Recreation
Mushy & Coryn, the game today is very much sucked by the vaults that hold the players/commentators, leaders and the like. Watching outside are the pawns of the chess board which in RL parlance are the players, who have to perform at anything that is close to what a normal human being, unless its at the level where a sneeze creates so much wind that it blows open the back pocket for the Managers to fill up & then they get their take, and the player only has his fob pocket for himself.
Colin this is why players like Opacic are so important to our club. He is a player who will never be a top line player but he is a player who won’t let you down. His defence is very good, his attack is Ok.
He would not have a huge impact on our cap. This is important. This season Papali’i and Cartwright have not had a huge impact on our cap but next retention contract they will have a much bigger impact on our cap.
It is important to identify who we keep and who we can’t afford. This is what the Roosters and Storm do so well. This is what the Broncos used to do well before they stifled their cap management with player options.
John, good post, the way many clubs are going including those on the top or near the top are I believe a couple of players away from failing, there are a number of players at most of the clubs that are good coin, and many probably worth it owing to their age, experience and abilities.
The current frenzy by lower ladder clubs to sign names may help plug a hole in their squad but for how long? The way the game is going is that there are going to be a number of players who readying themselves for early Sims treatment.
The one thing I am liking with the eels, & while its been a long time on the ladder rungs, the club is heading in the right direction. Opacic is a classic non noticed and non fancy player but knows his role and does it very well indeed, the best part is that he is one of those who go unnoticed in his play, positioning and ability to read both our side and the oppositions game, he is without doubt a great purchase.
The way the team is growing and has done now for a couple of years and has us in a vg spot compared to the past, the team management, is crucial especially those to keep and those not, we have a few that will leave, but I see some internal replacements and one or two from outside.
The biggest enigma for me is with Waqa, & the right side companion with Fergs, the number of tries scored down that side, and the left has got better with Oppies arrival is much better. Looking at Waqa's stats at the Rif and eels, he is much better at the eels but, appearances seem to show differently, maybe with BA's changing some players positioning may help him in a big way.
Great stuff, will help keep us in final contention for a few years.
