Read the Maloney thread. Early on he was getting the same stuff said.
Most people said he played well v the Knight but needed to back it up. A simple read in the gameday thread and sharks section most don't think that he did. So it is hardly just us saying it
Maloney was average before Cleary was injured. He difnt know his role in the team.
In that same game day thread other fans think he was one of only a couple to play well. Him and Lee.
Saving a couple of tries. Forcing a linedrop out (both from his kick and his tackle). Backing Segs up on a break. He was bailing his team out when they were getting pumped. But hey no try assist means he played shit.
Nevermind the half chances he created and his team couldn't capatalize on. He didn't have a try assist. Even if he does all the right stuff... its up to the person being setup to capitalize on it. I missed all the people bagging Maloney last week when he had no try assists.
Edit
Dont take this as people saying he was the best on ground or anything. He was just one of the Sharks better players. Souths basically across the park were better in almost everyway.
Burgess boys are back near their best after sucking for a couple of seasons.
