2016 R14 - FRI - Wests Tigers 30-14 Souths @ ANZ

[TheFrog]

Teddy to fullback, Moylan to 14 and Walker as far away from the team as possible.

But has to give Moylan more minutes than Walker got.

If you're going to drop Moylan after one game just do it. Don't put him on the bench. It would be pointless and stupid.

Trouble is, I don't think Tedesco was anything special last night against a very shabby Souths. He wasn't that good last week either, as his side with 2 origin players already, were flogged by the team running second last. He played OK in both games, but nothing to warrant this concerted push to shove him into the NSW No 1 and completely change the focus of the team mid-series.

But do it all the same. Just be prepared to dump Tedesco for Coote or someone else if he doesn't set the world on fire at the cauldron.

Nope. Have you watch Tedesco at all this year

But they picked someone else for game 1. So naturally I have to assume he has performed superhuman feats since then to make himself the better option for game 2. But he hasn't. He's been solid in his 2 games back from injury, but that's about all. Did I miss something last night? I watched him pretty carefully to see what all the fuss was about. I saw some twinkle-toed footwork and a failure to get across in cover for the first Souths try, and a few other touches, but didn't see any sort of world beater.

Maybe he's unfortunate to have been injured for the first game. But there's always next year.

Cooper Cronk had to wait until 2012 to make his Origin debut and I don't recall all this pushing to drop players for him. Patience is a virtue.

His 18 months prior form is enough to warrant selection.

Quiet game last night yet made 170+ metres, set up a couple and 4 tackle breaks.

How do you reckon Teddy would go on the wing? He absolutely has to be in there somewhere.

I really rate Moylan and I think he looked dangerous at times in game 1... but I reckon Tedesco would thrive in an intense Suncorp atmosphere.

Tedesco would be wasted on the wing in my opinion. He has a solid passing game and can step well off both feet. You need him at fullback to give him options, if Moylan is in the 1 then the only place you could really play Tedesco is in the centres.

Careful guys, froggy gets very upset when you say someone's better then a panthers player.

 

[TheFrog]

I think you'll find most supporters of most teams are the same, not the least you, Vic.

 

[Vic Mackey]

Yeah but most aren't still arguing it in a different teams game thread 2 days after the game

I just think Tedesco is the better player and quite frankly I do not even think it is close.

As much as I think tedesco is the better player I wouldn't drop Moylan for game 2. Moylan is still a very good player and deserves another crack, plus I don't think Training for 1 week with Reynolds and Maloney will be enough for a sudden death game at suncorp.

What I truly don't understand though Frog is your basically death riding Tedesco and effectively calling him an average first grader. You're coming across as an over protective parent of Moylan and attacking his rival in the school footy team.

Come Wednesday week I'll be cheering for Moylan, hope he sets up 3 tries and gets MOTM, as a blue nothing would make me happier. I get the feeling if Teddy gets picked ahead of him you'd be hoping he puts in a merrittesque performance and I really don't understand that.
