Time for Moylan to 5/8

Dwz is a better fullback than Bryce is a 5/8. Has to happen in 2017 or Griffin is clueless
That's your opinion. I think you are wrong. It does'nt have to happen TMM comes into equation.

In your worst nightmare, Moylan leaves to join Parramatta, Bryce is 5/8th and Hardaker becomes fullback.

Regarding Hardaker, my understanding is that he is only signed until the end of this season, and is then likely to return to the UK. In other words, it is unlikely that he will be with us for 2017. Is that consistent with what everyone else understands?

I hadn't heard he was planning to return to UK. I understood this to be basically an extended trial for a 2017 spot - its just whether it will be at the Panthers.

I think he could pick up another contract over here. Given he's come into a side towards the business end of the year and had very limited opportunities he hasn't disgraced himself like some English backs have. Parra could maybe use him.

If Dallin ever made 5 errors in a game people would be calling for his contract to be torn up, he looked better in his run of games at FB last season then Bryce has at 6 this year and Dallin actually took on the full responsibility of the position which Bryce hasn't had to do. If we didn't have Moylan playing as a 5/8th Bryce would be under a lot more pressure and likely be coming up with even more mistakes. As it is he can mostly just focus on running the ball. Like I said I wouldn't change it now but I still think it has been one of the most ridiculous and pointless team selections ive seen putting Bryce there over Moylan all those weeks ago.

An NRL.com article from July implies he is going back:

On-loan Panthers back and England international Zak Hardaker is hoping to make the most of his short spell in the NRL to prove to himself he has what it takes before returning to his Super League club Leeds at the end of the year.

The reality where RCG is going to play SOO next season, I certainly am immune to that reality.

Well its not a reality yet because its a future prediction you moron if its wrong ill cop that I have gotten plenty wrong before lol nice subject change but. You aren't going to provide an in depth 4 page breakdown of the game that explains how Bryce can do no wrong in your eyes? Please tell me how knocking the ball of five times was such great halves play. Please explain if he is such a great 5/8th why do we need Moylan to play like 5/8th as well?

So you're good to stick with that prediction then?

The Bryce breakdown was simple enough. Two errors that were his fault, the second one particularly bad due to the timing. Neither anything to do with being 5/8. Had the greatest responsible for the second try through his line break. Otherwise not really a factor due to the lack of attacking ball after 20mins. Defence showed improvement.

RCGs chances aren't looking good right now there no denying that but he has the talent Ill stand by that, sterlo was talking up his rep future just week so I hardly feel its a bad prediction. We'll see how he recovers from this back injury though.

Bryce just looks like he has no idea what exactly his role is, he has done some very good things since being moved to six but he has also had some extremely bad moments there as well. I really hope for his sake one of his bad moments doesn't cost us a finals game because there are times his confidence just looks, if someone runs circles around him like Teddy did or If he has a run of errors like yesterday it could really damage his confidence going forward.

Yeah you stand by that lol. Bryce's role is to create tries, for himself and others, and distribute the ball to where the best opportunity for others is to create tries. He may not know it, but he is by all measurable metrics, as opposed to arse pulling, doing his role very well.

Yeah I put it somewhere else don't know where but Carty has 9 try assists this year, 7 at 5/8th

Moylan is doing most of that for him. Its pointless to put that on him Moylan is better at it and it just adds pressure to carty which quite often he doesn't respond well too.
