It's not really about who the better player is between Moylan and Trindall, its more about who combines better with Hynes.

I personally don’t think we can win a comp with Moylan at 6. So I’m all aboard the give Trindall a run with Hynes train. They are very different players though & it just might not work with Trindall instead of Moylan.

I don’t have much faith that Moylan can develop into the player we need to win the comp. So to me I’d like to see us trial Trindall at 6. He can take the pressure off Hynes in the big games by offering another kicking option. Just remains to be seen if he can do what the coach is putting Moylan out there to do.

I can't see Moylan doing w lol in the big games. He folds under pressure against any good opposition. Always has. Trindall seems to be much better in the bigger moments taking into account his age and experience. I would be rolling the dice on him.

He's almost 32 mate, there is no more developing.

Both posts there are my exact point haha. I do understand if Fitz feels Trindall can’t play the supporting role that Moylan is picked for but to me there’s just too much upside to giving it a run.

Been saying this since round 1. Trindall has to be our 6. There is no point playing someone who is in such a pour patch of form when you have another bloke who can add 10 times more.

Trindall gives us an ability to have options both side of the field. And teams won’t want to defend against that.

Another stellar game by Matt the fairy Moylan

I’m sure he will be in the starting line up again next round due to his fine performances

This is a real problem. He is getting targetted every week and we are leaking points on that side. He has a rookie second rower next to him thats still learning the job.

Teams aren’t going to stop smashing that left side close to the line. An adjustment is needed.

I’m a massive Trindall supporter, I’ve always genuinely felt he’s Nico’s long term halves partner. But I don’t know much of an upgrade that is defensively.

I don’t know what the answer is but our highly paid coach better know or we are in deep ****.

The effort on Curran for his try is all you need to see really

add to that he has talakai on the other side of him who has imo been well below standards set.
I'm not defending moylan at all as i think he's no where near good enough i'm just throwing my 2 cents in

Trindall for sure makes those tackles for Wilton and catches those kicks for Ronaldo and holds the ball for Katoa and plays the ball for Talakai

Moylan didn’t kill it but he didn’t single handedly lose us the game. Wilton tryline defence at least as bad if not worse - he’s 50 games in he’s not still learning the position so much he doesn’t have to know how to tackle

Errors , errors , errors , you just can't commit that many and expect to win games , there is a lot of players who need to take a good hard look at themselves . There are some players who you know are going to commit at least 1/2 errors every week . Not good enough to be contenders .
