He was great tonight. Looked confident to, easily his best game of the year.
On the kicking comments, it's clearly not his role next to Nicho. He can kick if Nicho gets caught on 5th, but outside of that the plan is clearly for him not to.
When he played alongside Tricky he was kicking far more regularly, as clearly the plan was different.
I'd judge this to mean the coach is telling him to let Nicho take charge in this area.

Where did he look good?
Barely saw him in the first half except for that lucky try.

I still think Moylan is a passenger in this team. Trindall should partner with Hynes. At the end of the day though, it doesn't matter who partners Nicho. He will make them look good.

I thought he ran the ball well, engaged the line and looked likely to challenge. I have no doubt that this contributed to the space our left edge started seeing at the back end of the game.

Likely to challenge?
The bloke is done. The fact that he's had 3 try assists and 2 line breaks in 7 games shows he's a passenger.

He definitely has been in games this year at times. But he was good last night.
I'd be as happy as anyone to see Tricky get the shot there, but that doesn't mean I have to ignore when Moylan plays well.

That's not a fact as we've only played 6 games

Was a passenger during our bye round - no try contributions whatsoever. Too lazy to even miss a tackle

Yep that's it. I want Tricky in the team but you have to admit when Moylan plays well. Don't be blind.

I have no doubt Nicho is becoming a better half faster by having Moylan out there with him. He's not there to wrack up a highlights reel, he's there to support Nicho and take the reigns if things go off the rails then hand then back when all's good. I think there's a lot of the value having a pretty wiley old stager like Moylan with Nicho.

Take the reigns? Did that well in the finals last year.
Did even better against the Warriors, Rabbits and Raiders.

It's what he's been doing in game sometimes, for better or worse. A lot less this year thankfully. No-one is under any illusions that Moylan is a Munster.
The point was that he has a job out there and it's more to help Nicho be the best he can be. Imho

All good mate, I guess we see Moylans input differently.

Nah I'm with you, Moylan taking the reigns doesn't bode well for the team.

If Moylan keeps improving with his defense and leads that left edge defensively, i'm happy to keep him at 6. To me Trindall has gone average playing at 6, he's a good 7 though. I would only bring in Trindall if he played 7 and Hynes moves to 6 (wont happen). Hynes pretty much already plays second reciever in attacking plays, could also take some pressure off him. But he's already going great at 7 so keep him there. I am interested to see how Atkinson would go at 6 with hynes also, good energy, skill set and has speed

It's not really a debate, more pointing out that's what's happening. Sometimes Nicho gets a bit lost, which you'd totally expect at this stage of his halfback career.
But, I agree. If Moyza is taking the reigns it means Nicho's off his game. That's not good for the team. If people are bagging Moyza for bit getting involved then things are going as they should

The thing is that, even when Nicho had his off game with the Warriors and a bit in the first half of the Roosters game, Moylan didn't really take the reigns.
Yeah sure Moylan has his glimpses of quality but from the finals last year and until now, his been just a passenger.

I wanna know, has Moylan ever seen the reign
