Parramatta playmaker Mitchell Moses ended months of speculation over his future only hours before the grand final rematch on Thursday night, agreeing to a lucrative contract extension that will likely see him finish his career in the blue and gold.
Moses never wanted to leave the Eels but confirmation of his stay took longer than many expected as he and his agent Isaac Moses mulled over a rival bid from the Wests Tigers.
The final deal included an upgrade in 2024 and an extension for the four years after that. All told, Moses is expected to earn in the vicinity of $6 million, although it is believed he left as much as $1 million on the table by turning down the Tigers, the club where he made his first grade debut nearly a decade ago.
