1. NRL Buy or Sell: Eels, Maroons, Tigers, Sharks, and Blues Dilemma – What’s the Verdict?

The Parramatta Eels are facing a challenging period ahead without their star halfback Mitch Moses, who is set to be sidelined for the next 8-10 weeks due to injury. The loss of Moses is a significant blow for the Eels, as he is not only their best player but also their most important leader on the field. With his elite kicking game and ability to command the team, Moses plays a crucial role in guiding the Eels’ attack.

In their recent game against the Tigers, the absence of Moses was evident as the Eels struggled to generate momentum in their attack despite dominating the territory battle. Five-eighth Dylan Brown stepped into the halfback role, but the team lacked direction and cohesion without Moses at the helm. The Eels will need to find a way to adapt and improve their attacking performance in Moses’ absence to stay competitive in the tough upcoming matches.

Coach Brad Arthur has named Brown and young gun Blaize Talagi as the halves for the next game against Canberra, but changes may be on the horizon if the team fails to produce results. The Eels’ reported interest in retired halfback Mitch Pearce indicates their concerns about their current options in the halves.

With a tough schedule ahead, including matches against strong opponents like the Storm and Sea Eagles, the Eels will need to find a way to navigate through this challenging period without Moses. The next few weeks will be crucial for the Eels as they look to stay afloat in the competition without their star playmaker.
