JT is one of the best to ever play.
Yep, Not up there with old Moyza though... apparently.
To be fair, we were talking about FG kicking. Which I still don’t think Moyza is still not as good.

I'm not comparing or arguing Moylan v Maloney. I'm arguing the notion that Moylan was some sort of immortal at this club & he should be respected not 'dumped' on.
The guy got to 50% of his potential, not due to injury but due to attitude off & on the field. I've said it multiple times but Gus swept a hell of a lot under the carpet with the bloke.
Anyway, John is right, Moylan has left. Good riddance, lets move on.
Michael Gordon is my all time favorite Panther.Well JT did kick one to win a GF. Matty was my favourite Panther but he'd need to hit his potential consistently to be better than JT at pretty much anything.
Pretty impossible to compare really. Looking at wiki we have:Yep, Not up there with old Moyza though... apparently.

You try to talk him down by focusing on his what you perceive to be a weakness for a half. But that weakness exists in most halves and some of the games elite are even worse than him.
We saw what he was capable of after Origin in 2016. He was arguably the form player in the competition between Origin 3 and us being eliminated. That was the opinion of pretty much everyone in the media. They were convinced he could lead us to the grand final. As were the majority of people here... If that was only 50% of his potential than he could be the greatest player in the history of the game if he hit 100%.
Since people seem to only remember what suits them, let's take a look at his last few games:
Moylan in his last 4 games of 2016: 7 try assists and 10 linebreak assists (that's 2 regular games, and 2 finals matches)
Maloney in 25 games of 2016 has 9 try assists and 10 linebreak assists. (that's regular season, finals and grand final)
Moylan in 4 games nearly equalled an entire season of playmaking in which Maloney won a grand final. His 27 linebreak assist put him 3 ahead of Shaun Johnson and Johnathon Thurston... and he did so in 21 games to their 24.
That is the Matt Moylan that clubs were all interested in signing. For our sake I hope he never goes back to his potential. You say he only ever got halfway there. But in 2016 he didn't have much higher he could have gone. Daley picking him at 6 gave him some sort of extra confidence in his ability and he just took control of the team.
Good news. I'm hoping he gets our utility spot if Katoa replaces Wallace as starting hooker.

Now that May as re-signed I’m thinking that’s bad news for either Peachey or Blake.
Whare seemingly has one centre spot locked down due to the length of his deal, if Blake plays the other position then there really isn’t a untility role for Peachey.
Strange one. Pressure really on Bryce now
agree 100%Good hope it gives him a kick up the ass he needs
Mays signing is not going to force anyone out he’s out half the year with an acl, he wasn’t in demand.

I don’t think so, they play different spots. I may will spend a lot of time in Reggie’s.
