Seriously, you wouldn’t read to much into this performance given the Knights have been diabolical.

The big mistake we made with Moylan was not moving him to 5/8 earlier.

Not trying to start something, we clearly did well out of the swap, but Moylan was mismanaged position wise at the panthers.

 

[herbert henry1908]

Moylan has been improving before this game, it’s not just the knights.

There have been thousands of diabolical performances over the years. 6 try assists doesnt happen that often though.

Shit thats 2 months worth of try assists for some decent halves in a day.

His kicking game which he supposedly didnt have especially.

Atleast 3 tries from Moylan kicks. Problem when he was here was we didnt like to roll the dice on those sorts of kicks.

Maloney has easily had a better season..no question. But its ridiculous to say Moylan hasnt had his moments and isnt starting to find some consistency.

Moylan was always good for a game or 2 like this. The key is doing it against a much better Souths next week. He is a flat track bully

I thought there where no easy games?

Knights ave 26 points against a game. Yet they have still won 5 games so despite having bad defence can still play ok.

Look at his record v Knights one team he plays well against. He hasn't been so well v Souths that with his lack of consistency was what I meant

He became the 3rd player since try assist stats were recorded to do it.Think about all the star players who have played in the last 16 years and not done it. Its f**king impressive regardless of the team it was against.

It must be a reasonably difficult thing to do if studs like Thurston, Maloney, Marshall, Johnson etc. Never managed to do it. They've played shit teams plenty of times.

Hell even Lockyer and Joey played a portion of their careers after 2002. Not managing it.

He's still a longway from being as good as Jimmy has been for us. But shit thats one of the star performances of the year from anyone.

Good on him. But as Franklin rightly pointed out Sharks fans will probably have to wait a few weeks to see the next good game from Moylan while the better players in the game do the business week in week out.

Like we did in 2016? We saw plenty of consistency from him. 2017 was the dxception.

He was great from the Origin series in 2016 until the end of season. When he gets confidence he can perform week in and week out. He was widely regarded as the form player in the competition.

That doesnt mean hes going to repeat it. Byt Sharks have won 6 in a row now and he has done something only 2 players in 16 years have done. I think its fair to say he's playing decent footy now.

I didn't see the game but the highlights look like a combination of Moylan pearlers (which we all know he's capable of) and a couple of Knights defensive efforts that are purely embarrassing. A couple of Moylan's assists could almost have been attributed to Ken Sio instead.

Deception? Agreed.

Sounds like Hayne, 2009 version.

That doesnt mean hes going to repeat it. Byt Sharks have won 6 in a row now and he has done something only 2 players in 16 years have done. I think its fair to say he's playing decent footy now.

Fair comment. Hopefully he keeps his attitude right. Wait and see.

 

[mxlegend99]

90% of try assists could easily be blamed on poor reads or decisions from defenders. Somebody still had to be able to exploit that or force them into that.

The better a try is from one teams perspective. The worse the defence is ftom the others. Guys breaking 6+ tackles to score a try. That's amazing... yet when it happens against you all you can do is question what the f**k those soft tackle attempts were.

Hayne and Inglis have probably done that more than most players

 

[franklin2323]

He is the sort of player that is capable of not getting a try assist for another month now.

They are the worst defensive team. I liken it too us last week.
It was great we kept a team tryless but WT are ordinary in attack. We backed it up against the best the week later.

6 try assists is a great achievement but backing it up with a strong showing in the difficult games coming up is what quality halves do

I'll back him to get a try assist in the next month. Barring injury I would say it's a safe bet.

Only 2 halves have done it since 2002 before today. No idea how they went the following week.

But yeah it's all for nothing if you dont do it when your season is on the line. Which presently both our teams are safe.

You are correct. Even when he was with us, the good sides worked him out and shut him down. He's most dangerous when defences are tired.

There are easy games but its hard to predict when they are coming. You think a game will be easy it is often anything but, especially for us. Even the Knights at rock bottom were competitive for half a game.
