Really? I think WELL DONE MOLTZ is in order. Credit where credit it due thanks very much!

Tedesco needs to think about the virtues of defence.

Thank you Mrs Moltzen

Please tell Timmy he is a fullback and needs to cover defend and not leave the winger stranded 2 on 1.

Moltzen was safe under the high ball which was good.

The problem I have with him remains the same. He does not want to run the ball with any vigor if their is fear of being tackled. He supported Woods which was what he should be doing but rather then back himself and challenge the fullback he pikes it and starts crabbing sideways which sacrifices momentum and a quick PTB.

He looks like he wants to melt into the ground rather then return a kick properly.

Every single set when Moltzen receives the ball and there is not a winger right next to him we get buried for 3 tackles because he runs with zero conviction and purpose. Every set starts from the momentum of your back three and his playmaking provides almost less then zero of that.

I want to see what everyone else does who says how great he is playing but I just don't. I look at every other fullback in the competition and what they provide and Tim Moltzen ranks a distant last on that list

The standard between both teams was so evident, opposite ends of the spectrum. The sliding defense system is beyond that groups comprehension.
The lack of pace was again prevalent, tigers at best are pedestrian.
Players must be kidding if they expect more money to display that shit. No f##ken PRIDE.
Tigers have nothing whatsoever in attack or defense and are feeable, non committed and predictable. Manly easily defended their line. First kick by manly and they score, however, Lyons rolling his eyes indicated he touched the ball. but that is luck.
Armchair Benji is in the comfort zone and needs to have a look at himself - as for the $500K dud - GOODBYE.
The backrowers contribute very little.
The iosefa experiment was a dismal failure, did what he does in Cup grade, constantly gives away silly penalties.
BMM introduced when game done and dusted - GREAT tactic. Did it really take him 60 minutes to warm up? which explains why he did nothing, burnt out before he got onto paddock.
The thing that really hurts most is that the tigers are plainly not competitive and on reflection, this rabble never will unless there is a complete change of attitude and commitment.
Farah tried hard but fell on deaf ears. Young props also tried and Moltzen caught a couple great catches but will not draw and pass.
Coach Potter has inherited these players and support staff but he must have seen enough by now, I certainly have. It is time for Potter to ruffle some fur.

Was anyone else at the Manly game.......I caught the the NYC game from about the 20th minute & whilst they were hammered I was impressed with Nofo on the wing with limited opportunities & Salesi Funaki in the forwards........any thoughts on this guy??? Tried to look him up on Tigers website but nothing, although he must only be a kid as he played S G Ball last season I think. But runs hard & has a good offload, maybe another one for the future?
