I kinda wish we waited 12 months to sign a front rower. Woods and his offloads would be so nice to have.

Moylan is a better defender than Maloney. God alot of the great halves couldnt tackle for shit.What would really annoy the fans though is if Moylan doesn't even get a chance to play 5/8. No one can really fully evaluate it until then.
No doubt TMM is a better denfender, but that's not in the top few things I'd look for in a 5/8. Right now I'd say Moylans hands & passing vision are superior.
Just part of the reason Griffin is the wrong coach.
If he can't see Moyaln's inadequacies at fullback we have a massive problem, because he likely can't see other players inadequacies.

Maybe its not a matter of him thinking Moylan can't play 5/8th, but more the fact that he wants Cleary, TMM & Moylan in the same 13 as he believes it gives us the best chance of winning? Pretty sure we all thought the same.
FFS they've been playing together for 7 weeks, i'm pissed off too but a new combination is gonna take time and it probably shows why he didn't put TMM straight in last year when he was fit. Doesn't help our or Griffins or Cleary & TMM's cause that Moylan (arguably our best attacking option) has been extremely ordinary thus far.
I'd prefer to see if Woods causes the Dogs to lose one of Graham or Kasiano. Even Tolman if he came cheap.
Moylan has been ordinary because he is an ordinary fullback. With TMM in the team he is now stuck sharing the area of the game he excels in... playing as a half in attack. Tmm and Moylan are both great players that are suffering as the other is trying to play the same role in attack.Maybe its not a matter of him thinking Moylan can't play 5/8th, but more the fact that he wants Cleary, TMM & Moylan in the same 13 as he believes it gives us the best chance of winning?

They also had Lyon and G.Stewart running a lot of the playsThen why didn't he give Moylan a run at 5/8 when TMM was injured?
We had several players who could've played fullback.
Besides I would argue combinations & positional play are far more important than shoehorning the best available players into the 13.
I also question the wisdom of playing two such young halves together, only time I can remember this working is DCE/Foran at Manly. Even then DCE had two years experience in the QLD Cup.
You really do need to lose this little disclaimer that follows every controversial claim you make.anyone arguing otherwise simply doesn't know shit
Hiku
Tamou
& Whare on a 5 year deal.
Some of our recruitment & retention hasn't been the best recently.
Hiku was a 3 year deal wasn't it? I swear i was the only one at the time pissed off about it. And not because I thought he was a bad player. But because i was convinced Waqa Blake would be a better player.Hiku

But I can only assume we got him super cheap and he miggt one day become depth at best. I cant imagine we give a 5 year deal to an injury prone player we dont really need unless it was a bargain.
and Moylan is the best half at the club by far, anyone arguing otherwise simply doesn't know shit
Watch more than the numbers players wearBig statement given he has basically never played in the position for this club.
