"Yes, kicking behind the line is something missing for us that our 6 and 1 should provide. Iongi has developed it and we scored off his kicks against Brisbane I think. Really need him back."
"Foran played 162 NRL games AFTER HE LEFT THE EELS. Add that to the 147 he played in his first stint at Manly and the 9 games he played for us, Foran played over 300 NRL games. Hardly a player with "problems". Most likely is that he got the fuck out…"
"Yehez, yep, you'd probably rather defend on the line with 13-men than further up-field where full-backs and wingers drop back for the kick; almost a 10-man line.
That's also a reason we probably need to be better at scoring tries off kicks behind…"

"Well, how many half chances that the Eels have left out there would have been converted with Hayne and Semi? The Eels rank 11th for converting a normal set into a try. If there are set restarts? The Eels drop to 15th for scoring a try after a set…"

V'landyball: The Momentum Wars
Gus Gould is right when he says defence starts with your attack. In V’landyball, that’s truer than ever. Average margins are over 20 points and average scoreline is over 50 points in total. The highest in history. The old saying is defence…

I haven't seen anything official, and even if he does resign, he's not doing it out of any sense of loyalty, he's doing it because it is the best thing for him, as he should.
Sometimes showing loyalty and having a sense of loyalty is the best thing for a person. Obviously not at the expense of commonsense and within reason.
Look, I'm not saying that a player being loyal to his club is wrong, I think its fantastic. It shows we are building a club that players want to be loyal to.
That is a good thing.
I just don't like people expecting players to be loyal.
"I just don't like people expecting players to be loyal."
Yes Brett --same could be said about people expecting players to go for the paycheque alone. Lots of variables to consider in what is the best fit for individual values. Some things money simply can,t buy.. For Moses in HOE,s blog he had no hesitation in saying the premiership trophy with Parra was his only goal.
Much easier decision to make when your playing for the club you supported as a kid. Not many players have that luxury.
Great to have him on board.
To be fair Gordo he had no other genuine option.
The Broncs was no real option, could have wrecked his career.
Hed have had to move everything and carry the weight of a club in termoil, would have fucked him.
He looks happy here and has a lot less pressure here, not worth a few hundred k to take a huge gamble like that.
He wasnt going anywhere.
What is this blog about?
What has Moses supposed to have done?
