read somewhere hes only on 50 000 aus dollars at the storm surely a decent offer could tempt?

He took a cut in wages just to stay at the storm iirc, so that would indicate that he's very loyal to them and unlikely to move just for money.

So given The Brother's chances of being right about the S.O.O. back are we still in a position to retain Moa? I'm still a little shadey on the overseas rules. Is it six including five old style 'quota' players? If so who do we have who is exempt if anyone?

Berrigan
Cusack
Fitzgibbon
Lauaki
O'Meley
Manu
Moa
A. N. Other

That makes eight which suggests Moa has to go (the others are contracted) and no one else can come in. I'm confused!

Manu won't be quota next season

From that interview that was posted with Gus Gould, sounds like the roosters players aren't performing for an inexperienced coach (albeit one of the best player in the world in recent years). Fitz and o'meley will feel right at home next season

Cool, so we can sign Moa then or another overseas player. I'd be happy with Moa.

Why?

Have we got someone else lined up or doesn't Agar rate Moa enough to sign?

I never said he doesnt rate him,but id guess with a quota spot and plenty of cash we can do better,guess you will have to wait and see,you may be happy with the replacement for moa if there is to be one.
