2013 Fullback

[macnaz]

Totally agree.

 

[Matchball]

He is just gunning for the weakest spot. Its the position that's not totally cemented in by any one player.
No chance at half, to weak to be a centre and wings are covered. It was the only spot left to challenge for.

 

[macnaz]

Correct .

 

[The Charlatan]

Does anyone else think that Moltzen only says his prefered position is fullback because he thinks he has a better chance of playing first grade there ?
I've always thought he was better in the halves than he is at the back. I'd still prefer it if he was at the Dragons and not with us at all though... So close !

He is a pivot, and a good one at that. Unfortunately we have arguably the best pivot in the world in that position already. If Benji goes down this year, Moltzen is a straight up slot-in.

Sirro or Anasta would be ahead of him there.

 

[macnaz]

He should have just went to saints and he may have got a shot in halves this year

 

[hybrid_tiger]

Moltzen is a five-eighth. Nothing more.

Arguable by who?

Benji would be lucky to be in the top 5 anymore.

Unless we are talking about years old form.

 

[macnaz]

Name 4 ahead of him ? 1. JT. and the rest ?

I agree. Benji is still in top 5 for sure. Josh Reynolds is up there IMO and Keiran Foran when he is on form.

Benji is not in top 5 for half-backs....that's why he looked shit last year

 

[Tiger05]

All I hope is that Potter plays the best option in the fullback role. I think it should be Tedesco from the start.

Moltzen for mine needs to find another role.

 

[hybrid_tiger]

Josh Reynolds is up there IMO

The most overrated player going around. Made to look good at Canterbury because of the style they play. Not creative at all and he is an awful defender, masked by pulling off the odd big hit.

 

[BuffaloRules]

I thought Todesco was only OK tonight and is definitely a work in progress, but surely he should be the fullback this year.

Blood him from Round 1.

He looks a bit bigger this year. Does this mean that he may have sacrificed some pace for size?

 

[hybrid_tiger]

It took just 5 minutes for him to show everyone (again) he is three times the fullback Moltzen is.

 

[Tiger05]

Agreed. He didn't look great though. I'd give him the role now but we need better than last nights effort.

It's only a trial but Moltzen still refuses to contest bombs whereas Tedesco does. Also watched Tedesco run the ball back hard and run in support of forwards in attack, ready for the offload. Moltzen still hasn't addressed critical flaws in his fullback play, so it really should be no contest when it comes to who should be wearing the #1 jersey.

 

[macnaz]

He shouldnt be there regardless of Tedesco's fitness . Meaney would do me anytime over Moltzen in the mean time.

Agreed.

Tedesco at 1 would make me feel potter is going to make the right decisions.
