Moylan = Best ball player in comp.
Problem = He doesn't run up the guts and back up forwards like traditional fullback who float around for the off load. He also lack that physical toughness of most fullbacks. I like fullbacks to be fast also for the wrap around move . Watch how Bevan who cause dramas with his speed keep the defense guessing.

Tough call but your two halves are NOT as good as Moylan.
Cleary looks like he will be your solid Mitchel Pierce style halfback. I do not see the next Joey Johns or Thurston. But nothing wrong with a Mitchel Pierce.
TMM I am unsure of. Looks a very dangerous runner of the ball.

Your halves will look better with a ball running fullback as gives them another option. But are they good enough to take advantage of one? If so maybe Matts not want club needed with two young halves coming thru.

I think TMM, Cleary and Edwards are talented enough that if our forwards get on top we could pile on some points, but if it's a tight game or Souths get on top their inexperience will probably see us struggle. Dallin defending in the centres is a worry, last time he played there he struggled with his reads. Wallace will need to play well for us to win. Honestly I have no idea how it will go today, to many unknowns and new combinations for me to have any confidence, we already are an error prone side before we added 3 reserve graders to the side so that doesn't bode well for us.

Hope Edwards has a blinder and really puts some pressure on team selections. Reynolds has a good kicking game so it will be good chance to show what we have been missing at fullback

Agree with a lot of that though I think Cooper Cronk is player Cleary most reminds me of.

On his kick returns he will obviously show us something we don't usually get from our FB but as far positioning goes Moylan is pretty spot on these days so will be good to see how Edwards goes in that regard.

Word is Tyrone May playing tonight. He is the one I have been waiting to get a run. Dallen was ok in centre so will be good to see him get another run

Looking forward to seeing May get a run. Dallin attacked well from centre last time but he lacks experience defending there so its going to be tough for him if they are attacking that side a lot, and you would think they will be doing so if they have the chance because it will be CHN, TMM and DWZ defending along side each other.

Yeo defends next to TMM now. So he will help atleast Souths have shit backs that is something good

Yeah there outside backs are inexperienced, that's our saving grace this week. RJ is going to have fun trying to stop Whare or Dallin.

TMM has been going well lately. Cleary has combination with Edwards Whare is class so I am actually pretty confident we will get the job done

Cherrington played last week didn't he?

Looking forward to tonight's game. Probably more so then last week!

In previous years our attack has been worthless without Matt Moylan. That might change tonight.
