A rumour swept through the rugby league community late on Thursday that the restless playmaker had already ditched the Tigers and would line-up for the Eels against the Warriors in Auckland.
But a phone call from the Tigers – and a photo of a smiling Moses in a Townsville hotel pool – quickly killed off the whisper.
It would, however, appear to be a brief stay of execution.
Moses is expected to be with the Eels by Easter.
Just got a call from the Tigers and they insist he'll play. Mail appears off although tipping release to be granted sooner rather than later
