Looks like Matty Moylan is retiring at seasons end. Played a big part in getting Leigh into the finals this year, hopefully they can win it all. The best ballplayer I've seen in a Panthers jersey

Moylan had plenty of natural ability and certainly was a match winner on his day for both the Panthers and the Sharks. Just didn’t deliver often enough, or on a consistent basis. Almost 200 games in the NRL is an amazing achievement though even if his time at our club was a missed opportunity for him, should have delivered more.

Was our best player almost every time he pulled on a Panthers jersey. He was a bit lazy and laid back, he should have been born 20 years earlier

Had some great moments of sheer brilliance, no doubt about it, but his lack of character and dedication probably sours his legacy from his time at the Panthers in my opinion.

He did some amazing shit, thats for sure. The comeback against the Raiders will always be a standout.

Anyone who thinks Hook is a wanker can't be all bad

Lack of character is a bit harsh. He was different, as Chins said, born in the wrong era.

I just was referring to his being bestowed the burden of the captaincy, rightly or wrongly, and I think he let himself and club down. Leadership is not a personal trait or a burden that everyone can carry and in hindsight perhaps it was too much for him to bear. His 2016 season was quite brilliant, it turned so quickly which was all rather sad.

Didn't appear to have a high work ethic.....talented......very.

Made the best use of his natural talent. NO.

Wanted the ball in EVERY big moment to win a game. He had plenty of character.

Peak Moylan was the opposite of the 2021 version of Dyl.

Moylan amazing ball in hand in the attacking half but completely useless on kick returns or defending the line.

Dyl amazing in the defensive half but a serial killer of overlaps.

Because he was always a 6. It just happened far too late

Moylan would have been a much better and more consistent player if we never had Hook as coach. Our players only really got to show their skill when they were down by a couple of converted tries and decided to throw the "gameplan" out the window and play what was in front of them.


Losing him probably hurt most when he absolutely tore us to shreds in that final and eliminated us. Though we ended up doing alright a couple years later.

I think he was hidden at fullback because his contact made 2024 Tago look like Trevor Gilmeister

On a side note with sacking of Kevin Walters I think it is always sad when a head coach is the fall guy. There was always doubts around whether Kevvie could transcend his love for the club into being a head coach and to that point perhaps he wasn’t quite up to the job of being an NRL head coach. At the same time I think there a number of high profile, highly paid Broncos players who should hang there heads in shame today and beyond by the manner in which they turned there toes up and disgraced Kevvie and the jersey by there performances at the back end of this season. Absolutely shameful Prima donnas.

I have no doubt players are too blame as well but the coach needs to sort the players out and failed here

No doubt. Doesn’t make it any more palatable.

I was at that game and the strategy came from Hook. It was passed to the players about a metre or two in front of me. To grant Moylan his credit, he had to carry out Hook's strategy.

Not too many players are left from the Bronx
Team that choked 3 years ago. You look at the side outside of last year and they are poor

Just bought my 2 seats from the stadium nice little present to myself .my dad and me went to many games and sat on those seats to own them is cool

I’m just not a fan of players running the asylum.

You can argue maybe Kevvie wasn’t the man for the job, but the way in which the players lay down at the back end of this season just doesn’t sit well with me. It’s all well and good I suppose happy to see your coach hung out to dry but there fan base deserved better.
