Official Matt Moylan

[Born&bred]

I definitely have bagged Moyza over the years and probably got side tracked with him at times. It’s not always him and he does play well sometimes.

However, there is consistency with Moyza in defence. And the players around him struggle, I can only say that maybe this is because there is doubt in there minds defending next to him.

I think Fitz has to make a decision before the season gets away from him.

This is 100% the issue, particularly with relatively green players either side of him...

 

[The Punisher]

I actually preferred it when he was injured
Yes he was frustrating but at least he wasnt costing us games directly

 

[Blue_Eyes84]

Does nothing in attack or defence.

 

[GF78]

Give us your best excuses why he stays in the team gentlemen

I will go with reasons rather than excuses; nothing earth shattering, just logic:

As we all appreciate, successful Rugby league teams need a mix of attacking biased players & defensive biased rated players.

When possible, great defensive biased players partly cover attacking players when the team is defending as a unit on the goal line; think:

Lockyer / Tony Carrol, Barry Russell / Hatch?, Jamie Soward / the touch judge Etc

Moylan & Hynes are the beating heart of our attacking biased players; they play heads up footy, which gives Cronulla a differentiation over most of the other teams who play scripted footy.

The attacking biased players did their part yesterday - they orchestrated putting 30 on the score board.

I offer the defending biased players shoulder the responsibility for yesterdays close loss - we leaked 32.

In a nutshell, “ don‘t throw the baby out with the bath water”

I trust Fitz to change the bath water & keep the baby from %$#@ itself as badly as it did yesterday.

Do we still score 30 with Trindall on the field? In the 30 points we scored - is there anything Moylan did that Trindall couldn’t do?

Nothing much wrong with our attack in the first few rounds with Tricky in the team.

This thing that Hynes can only play the way he does with Moylan is a bullshit myth, it's laughable. There's nothing good Moylan does that Trindall can't.

Lol so what happens when Moylan leaves or is injured? Is that it for Hynes?

 

[snowman]

has to be his last game for us for a while

Haha well if Hynes can supposedly only play the way he does with Moylan then that's an issue!

Should be, won't be.

Golden child.

If coach thought Tricky was the answer he would have put him on in that last 15 minutes when he had to decide how to use his final couple of replacements . His answer - It was all about containing their forwards

Moylan is woeful -

There is no accountability or structure with him in the team plus his attitude/personality is like Brailey they are way too cruisey and the less players we have like that in the team the better especially in the spine

All we do is play eyes up with Moylan and Hynes because that’s all he can do, that’s not NRL it’s a backwards way to play and build a game

Trindall won us whole 80 minute games this year, pretty much man of the match in 2 of his 3 matches, we can build a platform with him in the team, play the long game and give Nicho genuine help.

At this point it shouldn’t be a discussion and I wouldn’t be suprised if some of our own players are thinking Moylan needs that tap so tricky can come in

Spare me this crap on what the coach thinks. That wasn’t the question I asked.

also, what the coach thought - lost us the ****ing game

Bang on

This is just my opinion but seriously Matt Moylan can not defend the line very well. 3x against the Warriors he let in a try. I've noticed this in many games that teams are realising that he's Sharks weak link in defense. I personally have no issue about him as a person, but as a sharks supporter I really hope Fitzgibbon really takes a long look at the film and gives someone else a chance. Ideally I'd put Trindall into number 6.

 

[Thresher]

Moyza's gotten too comfortable. His defence seems to regress with job security.

Send him back to the Jets for a couple of games and see if he bounces back.

Welcome aboard Zinger.

He does get caught out quite a lot. But i'm still not sure if it's him, the guys around him or a combination. Hopefully they're looking at all of this in training

The Moylan defence issue is not going to improve alongside both Wilton & Talaki .
