Moltzen

[gronkathon]

Same reason that Ioseffa exclusively worked to Marshall from hooker last week. Some players see that as a quick ticket to the highlight reel

Spot on.

Not only can't he catch bombs, he also lacks probably the most important aspect of good fullback play: a support game.

 

[Vic Mackey]

I like it when Benji puts up a bomb, moltzen runs through, gets to the fullback, and just stands there when it comes down.

 

[Matchball]

Moltzen the positionless waste of space.
Cant believe we resigned this git for another three years. Where is the long term plan for this guy?

Its beyond belief.

 

[Ghipo]

Are you sure he has resigned for 3 years ? They might be waiting to see if they get Lewis first. Moltzen signings have a history of being announced prematurely by his manager.

Good point, I dont think he has actually been signed. Timing would be opportune to have a good shot at Lewis's signature. I know if its a choice between Lewis and Moltzen who I'd rather spend WT coin upon.

Moltzen is one of those players who won't put his body on the line for anyone, under the high ball he hears the foot steps coming and dogs it big time

long term plan is the same as the short term plan. Benji's bum boy right?

Funnily enough, I wouldn't be surprised if the above post was designed to get a few bites.

Instead all it will get is agreeance

And Yes

That's true. There have been a few articles suggesting Moltzen has signed a three year deal, but no official announcement from club management.

BTW for all those who say we need Moltzen's attack from fullback, why doesn't he support any other ball runner besides Marshall?

It's not only him though - everyone runs off Benji, basically in the hope he'll create something. He has 24 try assists this year, the next best in our squad is Lawrence with 3.

He's definitely re-signed, there's an interview with him on the Fox Sports News loop talking about it.

haha actually I've spent enough time reading Moltzen posts to know that I'll get agreeance. It was just too obvious to resist posting

Looks like he has definitely signed and is looking forward to more time in the no 1 jumper.

Personally I think Tedesco might end up the better fullback but time will tell.

 

[madunit]

Tedesco is a better fullback already.

Moltzen will be fullback for first half of 2013 I'm guessing will Tedesco gets some form and confidence back in NSW Cup.

After that, Moltzen will become a bench utility.

2014 should see Moltzen move back to halfback.

Sironen is the big loser in all this, unless he gets pushed into playing at Lock.

 

[hybrid_tiger]

My mail is Tedesco is well ahead of schedule and will definitely be right for round one.

He is twice the fullback Moltzen is on a bad day.

 

[innsaneink]

I see coaches pet getting every opportunity even though he still wont have gone forward....and tedesco ending up another Lazarus, Mullaney etc

 

[bubblesunlimited]

Make no mistake, even if Garry Jack, Gary Belcher, Jonathan Docking and Clive Churchill signed - James Tedesco will be our fullback next week. I can't be anymore forward than that!

 

[madunit]

You forgot Tim Brasher ;-)

 

[Tiger05]

James Tedesco will be our fullback next week. I can't be anymore forward than that!

I take it you mean next year. Lets see what happens but I can't see Sheens just ignoring Tedesco.
