Official Matt Moylan

Moylan to centre? That's the craziest thing I've heard in a long time.

They call it silly season for a reason

 

[Wiz]

Moylan isn't going to go anywhere else also, that's why we signed him for two more seasons

I reckon Trindall starts with Hynes next year

 

[Sharkfox]

People thought you couldn’t win a grand final with Chad Townsend up until last season and look how close they are.
And that was despite him having done it before.

Prefered him at 7 over Johnson, and would've kept him and let Moylan go

Moylan to centre? That's the craziest thing I've heard in a long time.

Just giving an example, if you were to sign an experienced 6, Moylan doesnt fit 2024, unless you re-invent him, he's passed playing fullback and I doubt they'll use a back for utility after the Trindall experiment.

I reckon Trindall starts with Hynes next year

As long as Hynes is at 6, Tricky first reciever, help with game management, especially kicking, take that weight off Hynes and will also make Hynes settle down a bit more instead of trying to do too much every play or when he gets the ball

Absolutely zero chance unless Moylan is injured

Suggest another look at replay of last weeks Jets v Bulldogs game .

that’s ok - you can also look at the game he had in NSW cup just before that one where he killed it

I’m not that sure - we tried Moylan and bombed out pretty sure no coach is guaranteeing a spot after moylans finals performances

 

[Sir Chadley]

I’m not that sure - we tried Moylan and bombed out pretty sure no coach is guaranteeing a spot after moylans finals performances

Are you saying we lost both games because of Moylan?

 

[HaroldBishop]

I am and happy to have a bet on it.

 

[Wiz]

Are you saying we lost both games because of Moylan?

not sure how you came to that conclusion

 

[Sir Chadley]

not sure how you came to that conclusion

I can’t see how I could come to any other conclusion. You said we bombed out of the finals due to Moylan’s performances and he couldn’t be guaranteed a spot next year.

You could say the same for half a dozen other players.

Chad are you ok ?

We tried it with Moylan and we bombed out.. the partnership doesn’t work. It’s not hard to understand and it’s not the the only reason why we bombed out.

If you’re happy with our structure, last tackle plays, kicking game and game management especially against top teams then let’s agree to disagree

Yes I’m ok and it’s Sir Chadley to you!

I must have misunderstood you, mentioning bombing out and Moylan in the same sentence to me seemed like you were blaming him for us losing.

I certainly don’t think Moylan is the answer long term but I don’t think Trindall is either. If anyone it’s Dykes that has the potential to fill that role.

I like Brayden and think he has some good qualities but he is far too inconsistent.

 

[Capital_Shark]

I disagree. I think he's been pretty consistent. I'm always fairly sure what he's gonna provide most the time.

Yeah I think Brayden is just like anyone else and needs game time to develop, even Wilton suffered from a lack of it and we all know how good he can go

 

[Proud Shark]

You may be right, and he's shown good patches, he's also shown some **** patches. I'm not convinced he's not just the next Todd Murphy.

Moylan was heavily involved in our finals games running around all over the place, getting the ball, throwing long and short passes, pushing up to defend/pressure attackers, diving on balls, probing at the line in attack ect. He had some good moments both from an effort and skill/execution standpoint.

He kicked alot more against Souths as well. His missed tackles over the finals series doesn't look good though. He was far from perfect but he isn't a player front of mind for me when it comes to why we failed in our 2 finals games. He can only do so much in a team that was bit of a cluster **** over those 2 weeks.

Connor Tracey and some of our senior players/forwards were the biggest problem IMO and to an extent our fullback at times along with gameplan/execution and bench use with alot of those later points on our rookie coach.

Moylan just had one of his best seasons in ages and his partnership with Hynes got us to 2nd place whether you agree that combo was a big part of that or not but personally I think it was effective for the most part.

Even later in the year when our attack started to get clunky and less slick and teams learned how to start defending us, it was still a dangerous pairing that could put on some good attacking plays and expose a weakness in the defense. Even put on some ad-lib eyes up plays like Mozzas chip over the top for Hynes.

I think fans (including myself) can get too picky or harsh over all the things a player doesn't do or have but forget or don't relise/notice all the good things. We aren't going to have another James Maloney in the 6 and Hynes is a work in progress in the 7 yet has still performed at a high level. Trindall isn't a realistic solution either

Moylan worked hard this year, fixed up his body and attitude and did ALOT more good than bad each week. I really don't think there was much bad in general actually, he seemed to really have his **** together and mind on the job this season.

This is coming from someone who couldn't stand the sight of the smirking ground passing bleacher sitting money leaching **** 12 months ago.

 

[Sharkfox]

Our halves are similar and both are not natural or genuine halves, put a proper half who can game manage next any of them and they'll excel
