So it turns out he has taken up his player option at $800k a year till 2020
Funnily enough he's been dropped today as well to reserves
Think paying half that even may be too steep
Don't think seeing how Moga turns out is an option, no guarantees and more likely a bad result rather than good, assume he is gone and look at alternatives, same with Griff even if he makes it back season will almost be gone, put other plans in place not temp fix its.Yeah a change of scenery couldn't hurt for him.
But considering there is no demand it's not something we need to look into right away.
See how Moga turns out and how the market goes over the next several months and who becomes available etc
We should have been offering Jennings and his brothers a deal prior to 30 June could have had all 3 and solved our backline fora couple of years, depth, 1-2 years would have done, no need for your Fergusons, Lee or entire reserve back line.The Eels have also dangled a centre spot at him and paid him to be a centre also as opposed to us and the sharks where he's be a winger
Take Michael Jennings if we can at half the price?

Maybe he didn't want to leave Sydney? His ex-wife and kids are there.
It would be interesting to know what our offer to Ferguson was?
I wouldn't have thought $500K a season was too far off!
Michael is one of the reasons the Eels have been so poor. Younger brothers both doing well but the old fellah is past it.
I think Moga will come back better He did his knee and then found the op on the other one wasn't right , makes me thing the reason he did the knee was because that one hadn't been done right too and he has come back from these before and then played great footy ...He should be fit and raring to go by the start of next season ..Don't think seeing how Moga turns out is an option, no guarantees and more likely a bad result rather than good, assume he is gone and look at alternatives, same with Griff even if he makes it back season will almost be gone, put other plans in place not temp fix its.

I hope for his and our sake you are right - we could have done with him fully fit this year.
