Final Stretch and Individual Brilliance

 

As the regular season wound down, Moses continued to impress. He finished the year with:

 

22 try assists (3rd in NRL)

 

16 line-break assists

 

9 forced dropouts

 

83.5% tackle efficiency (highest among halfbacks)

 

Average of 410 kick metres per game

 

The Eels secured a top-five finish, setting them up for a genuine finals push. Though they were eventually eliminated in the second week of the playoffs, Moses’s performance was widely credited with rescuing what looked like a doomed season.

During his acceptance speech, an emotional Moses thanked the Eels staff, teammates, and his family:

 

> “This one means a lot. I wasn’t even sure I’d be playing the first half of this season. To come back, lead this team, and feel the belief around me—I’m just grateful. But we’re not done. I want more than this. I want to win for this club.”

 

 

 

The crowd gave a standing ovation—not just for the award, but for the journey.
