Moltzen to England?

[innsaneink]

......In terms of the club's roster, the Tigers are quietly undergoing a change in personnel to fall into line with the club's salary cap issues. Centre Blake Ayshford is going to Cronulla next season, Eddy Pettybourne is off to the UK Super League and Tim Moltzen travelled to St Helens last week and may well approach the club for a release.........

I think it would be for the best

I think it would be for the best

For him yes,
For Tigers yes,

For LU and all who love to bag him, gonna miss that.

Good riddance.

 

[Tiger05]

It would definitely be for the best.

 

[Matchball]

Please happen. Its overdue.

 

[FootynRacing]

I'm excited !!! Fingers crossed this happens. How good is it seeing the right decisions being made ? Things are definitely looking up

 

[BrotherJim05]

Unless Moltzen was willing to play in reserves for his utility value (Fullback or Half replacement) then probably a good decision for everyone. He probably is on $300k a year so not worth keeping as utility imo.
I always thought Moltzen had potential, just needed to run harder and put his body on the line.

 

[innsaneink]

Clearly has talent and potential...seems to be lacking hunger, desire and a 'hard work' ethic

 

[super_coach]

Moltzen had speed and could back up a break,but after two knee jobs he will come right back to the field in the speed department. Although Sheens tried to talk up his kicking game in reality it was bog average,his passing game was poor,defensibly he was strong at the back and weak in the line and under the high ball was a fifty fifty bet every time.

The tigers have had a lot players over the years with less ability but Iam afraid Tim's contracts were always over inflated to what he offered the team.Its a shame as if a Bellamy or a hard coach got to him early Iam sure he could have been a fair first grader,rather than Sheens who did him no favors

Should have took up soccer. No heart for this game.
He was ever only in the side because Marshall wanted it.
He was gone to the Dragons and only came back because Lui got the boot and then Moltzen uturned on the deal and joined Benji in the halves.
Even this article suggests Benji played by a different set of rules compared to other players.

 

[Shanghai Charlie]

Good riddance Timid Tim.

Marshall shouldnt even be in first grade let alone on that upgraded money. Ridiculous.

How the f**k can Benji mentor a young bloke?
What could he possibly teach an up and comer?

 

[Magpies Forever]

A win- win situation all around if it happens. Good luck to Moltzen but his time at WT has pretty well used up all usefulness. Time to look elsewhere. Maybe take Benji with you as a package deal?

If he has already been OS looking ,does that mean he has already got a heads up from benji that he is off also?

 

[benched tiger]

Moltzen can see the writtings on the wall,the WT have better options covering all backline positions that he plays in.The major fault with his game was that he never committed to putting his body on the line,this characteristic has no place in our game as it soon gets found out,especially at fullback.

 

[BrotherJim05]

In regards to Moltzen putting his body on the line, it shows just how much he failed at doing this when comparing him to Tedseco.

Teddy is not that big a guy yet he will literally run as fast as he can straight at the line with no regard for his own body. Apart from a few of his early games he is excellent under the high ball and thus his kick returns are very good. Moltzen on the other hand would just wait for a winger to take the ball from him, so literally no kick returns to speak of.

Our starting and reserve backline are all better choices than Moltzen is at the moment so I don't think his salary could be justified in our squad.

I think England is a really good move on his part. The competition is significantly less fierce and Moltzen will be able to develop his game on the same sort of money.

All in all it will be a good move for everyone

 

[benched tiger]

Yep totally agree.

 

[innsaneink]

Benji went to Bali with Zoe, threes a crowd...Moltz off to the north of England

 

[Ned Kelly]

WOW what kind of footy do they play in Bali?

I reckon that would be the ideal move for Benji who, at such an important time of his life, is clearly concentrating on his future in football.
:crazy:

Heard he is signing with St Helens and we are poised to sign Martin Kennedy from the Roosters who was 19th man for QLD this year. If true that would be outstanding news.

Serious?? if we signed Kennedy imagine our front row:
Woods
Galloway
Kennedy
Tapau
Seamunfagai
Buchanan
Sue
Brown
Gavet

Would be excellent news but I do think the money would be better spent on a back rower of equal caliber.

Then again, if Blair can steadily get back the form he had in the back row at Melbourne then we could possibly roll the dice and move him back
