Whats peoples thoughts on the Moses sprays at TDS?
seeing alot of public posts they were over the top etc
For me, its a mans game, he farked up so yes justified, regardless how raw or young he is. Moses is the controllling half and captain, TDS needs to learn.

Well he is only 5 games in.
Many here gave up on Iongi around 4 games, now he is a top quality Fullback we need for the future.
Kautoga was set to be ran out of town, now I reckon we miss him a bit.
Well said LB. After he has a pre-season with us, then we can start to judge.
TDS was woeful in that period and cost us a number of chances at their line. It was the way he went about things, they weren't just mistakes they were plays that lacked urgency, or that went against Moses call. He neeeded a spray and I don't think he would of got one if it was just a dropped ball.
He felt the pressure SE, as a 20 year old on a roller coast ride why wouldn't he. I don't mind us getting this kid, just didn't see all razza matazz and the price they reputedly paid....and guess they didn't .
Christ we could have got Doehi for 500 (apparently) a month ago, why would you pay the same for this kid?
PS I would not hesitate to pay 700 for Doeuhi NOW, he has the potential to take us to top 4 next year and can fit in anywhere if we have the right young kid emerging through this time frame.
He is on around 400k that was his wests contract, it will rise towards the end of his deal closer to 600k. Eels hoping he's a good 9 by that stage
Reports were $2.5M to end of 2029. So average of $550K plus over the 4.5 years. So unless you know for a fact what he's on, I'll use the report as my baseline info.
didnt know its that much....he needs a lot of work on his passing game from the ground....when you see Ryley bullet passes creates width and ruck speed......TDS needs to get on the training ground and work.....to not have this skill at NRL level is poor...very poor
He more likely came through Wests with the belief of being a prodigy, no need to work on his game. Though Smith has worked his arse off to get to where he is. His pass is good, not a bullet like Reed but gets to where it needs to be. Tallyn can do it, I've seen it when he played Cup on Fox last year. But seems to have this habit of just moving from dummy half whether to draw marker off or spread the play more. He's had average halves at Wests, even Luai doesn't mind the sort of adlib footy that Da Silva sort of plays. Now he has a proper dominant halfback he will learn.
All for it - $500,000 a year.. Surely ha can handle a spray.. Shake hands in the sheds - move on to next week!
