He's at first or second receiver, he is a half. Ill go this far.....best player in the comp with the ball in hand.
So because he's playing a different style of fullback to how you think a fullback should play, he's not really playing fullback?
He played fullback.
He played at fullback and halves.So because he's playing a different style of fullback to how you think a fullback should play, he's not really playing fullback?
He played fullback.
I was always on the Moylan to 5/8 bandwagon, but watching the game tonight I thought why bother moving him at all.
He plays as a 5/8 in attack which leaves us with 3 options in Moylan, Cleary and Cartwright.
It also gives us the added advantage of having 7 forwards on the field.
I would not be surprised to see the same side rolled out next year
Why would we move him fully into the role he has played the past 2 months and remove the only weakness from his game?This Moylan to 5/8 debate is dead in the water. Why would you play him at 5/8 when he does what he did tonight. He is a fullback, our fullback for a few years to come. Absolutely no need to change anything in regard to Matty. Heaven knows how good we can be next season if TMM get's a good off season and fulfills his undoubted potential allowing Bryce to drop back to the back row.

Yeh mate, he's playing terribly at fullback at the moment....
You move him because he is such a natural playmaker. The defensive side of playing FB is by far the hardest part of the position so why load up your best playmaker and creator with that extra work load and responsibility? Move him to 6 and lets see how good he really is. We have plenty of good options for FB besides Moylan.
Do you even watchthe games? Hes playing first and second receiver already. He wont lose space... he will have the.same space he has now.Fullback he has space he wouldn't have at 6

When? He is at first and second receiver all game. He is not playing a fb role with the ball outside of taking kicks. They said in the commentary yesterday he had more touches at first receiver then Cleary did last week. This is my point, he isn't playing as a FB letting the halves run the team and chiming in on the backline plays like a second 5/8th, he is playing as a half and our dominant play maker getting more touches than either of our actual halves. Its a big ask having him do that as well as defend at FB, let him focus on the position he is more suited too and I think he will go to another level.
