“I just want to focus on my football, whatever happens in the future is going to be guided by my form. I feel I still have a lot to give and am still playing my best football.”

Moa said the constant speculation was a distraction but it was part of parcel of playing in the NRL.

“It is frustrating at times, but it happens to a lot of players all that speculation, you have just to be professional,” he said.
