Luke Brooks is set to remain at Wests Tigers for the next two NRL seasons, but he may not have fellow-half Mitchell Moses by his side.

Just three days into new coach Ivan Cleary’s tenure at the Tigers, Moses has reportedly been denied a request for an immediate release to join rivals Parramatta.

It’s understood each of the Tigers so-called big-four were offered contracts endorsed by new coach Ivan Cleary last Friday, in a bid to settle the long-standing instability at the club.

However they are believed to have been met with mixed responses.

Brooks has reportedly agreed to terms on a deal which will keep at the club until 2019, according to Fairfax Media.

The Tigers are yet to confirm the news, but AAP understands the negotiations are moving in an extremely positive direction for them.

The same can’t be said for Moses though.

On the same day as the Brooks news, Fox Sports reported that the five-eighth has knocked back a $3 million three-year offer to join the Eels.

Earlier on Wednesday, Tigers players had hoped the potential of Brooks’ signature would bring some much-needed stability to the last-placed outfit.

“Like any club when players are off-contract it at some point becomes a distraction,” centre Chris Lawrence said.

“As soon as they can finalise whatever they are going to do, it’s going to be best for the team so we can move forward and play some footy.”

It’s also understood the Tigers have attempted to stagger the contract lengths offered in a desperate bid to stop a similar situation developing with the pair, along with James Tedesco and captain Aaron Woods, in coming years.

Tigers prop Tim Grant said any positive signing confirmation would “ease the white noise” surrounding the club.

“With Ivan coming to the club that would be stability as well,” Grant said.

“It removes an element of excuse for the playing group, and there’s no time for that anymore.”

Grant knows Cleary better than most in the current Tigers squad, having played under him at Penrith.

And he said Brooks need look no further than Cleary’s son, Nathan, as an example of the influence the coach could have on a young half.

“I remember him as a kid, 13, 14-year-old when Ivan first got to Penrith,” Grant said.

“He was forever out on the training field kicking goals and that sort of stuff and Ivan was out there with him.

“I’m not sure if that was a father-son muck-around thing or he was giving him a few points, but to me Nathan Cleary is the ultimate professional and he plays beyond his years.

“Hopefully that rubs off on some of the young halves here at the Tigers.”

The Tigers were also one of two clubs to indicate their interest in Sydney-bound Queensland State of Origin halfback Cooper Cronk on Tuesday.

However Cronk said he is unlikely to make a call on his future for at least another two months.
