Mitchell Moses missing Parramatta's Round 1 blockbuster against the Melbourne Storm was not how the Jason Ryles era was meant to kickoff. The fact that he heads an extended unofficial injury list is incredibly unfortunate and it sets the tone for the early discussions in this episode of The Tip Sheet.
