Rhinos plot raid for Tim Moltzen

[R2Coupe]

Speaking of halves, NSWCCC defeated NSWCHS 22 -18 today. Our next homegrown half imo is playing half for NSWCCC. Also our 5/8 Moses has scored three tries and kicked a few goals in two games.

Who is this half and how old is he? I have no idea what NSWCCC / CHS is

Australian Schoolboy Championships in Port Macquarie. NSWCCC is the Combined Catholic Colleges side and NSWCHS is the Combined High Schools Team. Both Mitchell Moses (5/8) and Luke Brooks (1/2) are a very good combination to watch. I think there are around 6 to 7 Holy Cross College Ryde Boys in the CCC team. Most of these boys played in the Balmain SG Ball team.

Okay - still a few years away then, but good to hear there is some potential in the ranks

Mitchell stars yet again


11 Jul, 2012 04:00 AM
YOUNG gun Mitchell Moses has almost definitely cemented himself a place in the Australian schoolboys side after inspiring NSW CCC to a 22-18 win over rivals NSW CHS.
CCC led 22-6 at halftime but CHS came out all guns blazing in the second half, scoring two unaswered tries.
Moses scored a try and kicked three goals in his side’s win yesterday.Sione Folau, younger brother of ex-NRL superstar Israel, also starred in the win.



Priddis enjoying role giving back to game


11 Jul, 2012 04:00 AM
HE’S seen the game from a player’s perspective, and now former international Luke Priddis is relishing the chance to give something back to rugby league in a trainers role at the Australian Schoolboys tournament in Port Macquarie.
Priddis is involved with the Combined Independent Schools side, and said he wasn’t enjoying all aspects of being on that side of the fence.
“It’s frustrating, I won’t lie to you,” he said.
“But it’s a good way of dipping my toe back into the water a bit.”
Priddis played for the Canberra Raiders, Brisbane Broncos, Penrith Panthers and St George Illawarra Dragons during his 13-year NRL career.
He won the 2000 NRL premiership with the Broncos and the 2003 premiership with the Panthers, and became the first hooker to win the Clive Churchhill Medal.
Priddis was selected to play for NSW in 2001. He also played for Australia in 1997.
Priddis said he enjoyed drawing on that extensive experience to help the youngsters in the CIS side.
He said he had his eye on young Mitchell Moses, after the NSW Combined Catholic Colleges five-eighth impressed yesterday.“He’s obviously a good young talent,” Priddis said.

You may be right but we definitely haven't seen this. I think your wrong and its pretty obvious.

We haven't seen it because Humble hasn't had a chance to cement the position because of Sheens constant reshuffles. Moltzen keeps getting positioned at fullback where he appears to have no confidence in the role. Two seasons he's played at fullback for the majority of the year now and on both occasions it took him well intothe middle of the season to play good, not great. Just good. Ryan steps in last minute and slots in straight away.

I get this but I don't believe it. Marshall recently played one of his best games in a long while at 7.

lol, against the most pathetic performance Canberra has dished up in about 3 years. One great performance at 7 doesn't make up for dozens of crap games. Nor does it compare to near 100 much better performances at 6.

I think you are completely wrong here. I think we have looked a lot better with Moltzen at fullback rather than Ryan. I love Ryan but he has been best in the centres or on the wing. I prefer him at centre because I think it allows us to play a quicker winger.

A Quicker winger, like Utai? ffs.

Ryan is a winger and a fullback. Moltzen is a five-eighth and a halfback. It's blatantly obvious.

Moltzen's highlight reel at #7 was his running game. He's really a running five-eighth.

Exactly. And he plays this game whether he's at fullback or halfback.

So to me it makes sense to put him at halfback.
Benji plays in his preferred position on his preferred side defensively
We get a defensive fullback which is most important today imo.
