yeh, i want my halfback and best player to be less involved

some absolute fitlers on here
🤦🏻‍♂️ here we go again
We’ve been through this all the times we’ve lost, he’s actually been horrendous when he’s doing too much.

Dally M is for best player, he is an animal footballer but when it comes down to it there are key weaknesses in our halves set-up that always pop back up - no rep team coach is picking him as a 7.. who on earth wants a 7 that can’t kick you out of trouble, around the park or control your game management well ? He’s a 6 he’s only a 7 here because Moylan can’t do that halfbacks job

For anyone that’s still confused - check out the threads on every single game we’ve lost and understand why Hynes doing MORE is a bad thing at this stage maybe in the future he could do it better but we haven’t seen that yet at a high level

You want a sloppy Hynes that misses tackles, knock ons and stupid plays on 5th tackles or you want a Hynes that is fresh and sitting back waiting for opportunities ?

Keep this same energy when the same thing always happens and we play a top team

No rep team coach is picking him as a 7 - not winning the origin series either.
Great judges in the Blues camp

The blues camp are duds

Hynes is going to be a killer 6 one of the best just ashamed we won’t get to see it aslong as he’s with Moylan

I’d love to see him lay back in the cut and rip apart teams like Walker, Munster etc instead of worrying about other sht

Yep been saying this for a while, he can be very close to as good as Munster if he pulls it back.

You know what my next call is?

Nicho isn't a 7.

Trindall is.

Nicho to 6.

Put the game management into Trindalls hands and let Nicho be a running player rather than an organisation man.

Moylan is a good organiser. Trindall is better.

Moyza is playing better than ever and I love him but I think we have to bring Trindall in as a starter.

its a shame we will never see the best 7, be the best 6, because he is too busy being the best 7 to have time to worry about being the best 6

Yeah but it was fixed by Fitz or attempting to be fixed so this doesnt explain recent **** games.

He should not be encouraged or even attempt to manage games. I reckon it stresses him out. He cant do it. Moylan/Brailey can and do.

When Hynes is off he becomes so erratic it’s bad and directly leads to opposition tries - it’s obvious and it always happens when he tries to do everything.

Brailey can not manage for sht - 9 is so important and because he is there he directs how the team plays. We’re literally at his will when we play. His options against good teams aren’t good so Goodluck with that, he regularly gets outplayed by his opposite

Moylan ? That’s a whole nother black hole, a down hill skier people in here jiz over when he goes alright - phoenix fkn Crossland looked like a million dollar player against the dogs - Bradman best became better then Staggs, Talakai and Tago over night

-
The argument is dead but we could be seeing a whole other team if a few changes were made and for better or for worse atleast we know we would be building to something

It is what it is

I’m not sure what you mean with Brailey. His direction is crucial to our attack and he manages that - exceptionally and is getting better. We have an amazing attack on this note. Not only that but it’s clear Fitz is all over this play of Braileys and loves it.

Bad or good - whatever - that’s not the topic here but Moylan is directing most play. Not Hynes. This is how we play and should maintain playing. I feel we started the year with a game plan of Hynes taking on this role (Moylan) but we adjusted due to the failure of this, and made Moylan with more responsibility and direction (management). You may not like it or may think trindalls better but that’s not the point I’m making, I’m simply saying Moylan and Brailey are mostly running the show.

Side note - Brailey will be the NSW hooker in the near future. He is deadset a pro.

until Brailey shows he can perform against a good team I can’t agree with you - Our attack is non existent against top teams therefore it can’t be as amazing as you say
brailey can’t hold a candle to Api, Cook, Robson so the only way he gets in is through injury

We can only go off what has happened and every time he goes up against top teams he’s a non factor while the actual good 9’s are very noticeable in their wins

Did you watch us against the Storm ?
Dolphins ?
Panthers ?
Raiders ?
Rabbits ?

How can you say we’re good ? We’re average..

And I’ve said it before .. we definitely ain’t winning no comp with Moylan he’s past his use by date he’s perfect for the tigers though just not for a team trying to win it all

Was wanting to talk about Will Kennedy, this is, I stress , my opinion and could be totally wrong. But to me there is an obvious comparison physically , to another fullback, David Peachey of course. But here is the thing, Peachey was like Greg Inglis how his balance was such a beautiful thing to watch, how both players used their long arms to swat away would-be tacklers, and maintain such a fluid motion and seemingly glide across the turf.

I think William does possess that capacity , I just haven't seen him use it with regularity, maybe he is still growing into that particular skill.
So to the men of culture on this forum, I want to ask , do we think he is reading the offence well enough from the fullback position, maybe again I need to be educated;
But doesn't the fullback , like a quarterback on the defensive side, call plays, like read what the offense is doing and call out structures/instructions to his team mates?
To me, and again this is just my opinion, Will just seems to be late, like a full step behind, to the man scoring, like when I look at " brighteyes" from Broncos or Edwards from Penrith, they are there full bodied and right on time to stop scores, even tho in my opinion , brighteyes, seems to get away with shoulder charges, well they would be called under any other circumstances, I believe.
So yes I would like to get the esteemed gentlemen of culture on this forum to enlighten me what is the deal with Will?
