Dont copy Benji and fire passes regardless of how the pay unfolds.
Worst half I've seen all year.

Might be different if we had some shred of defence, but I was never one calling for him to move up into the line

Sorry, but this is wrong. If your centre is out of position, you don't throw him the ball. The guilt rests with the half.
And as for catching, yes Rowdy has had some shockers, but Moses served up some absolute garbage balls tonight. What, at least 2-3 over the sideline? And one pass so tragic, a sort of looping air ball that went behind the entire team, Rowdy fluffing it when trying to backpedal and take a catch.
Not that Moses won't learn, but he is a liability at the moment as often as he does anything good. And as ink said, totally ineffective in cover defence - not just unable to affect a strong tackle, but consistently beaten all ends-up when breaks are made; he misses some of these ones by a country mile, e.g. Taumaulolo last night and Chambers last week, didn't even lay a glove on them.

Just saying that a bunch of people wanted Austin shifted after the Dogs game, but Moses has loads of work to do. No miracles, just recognition of how far he has to develop.
In fact Austin played fullback last 10 mins or so anyway.

We could have had Laurie Daley and Freddy Fittler and still would have got pumped by 50 with that defensive effort

He had a bad night, no doubt about that. But his touch, slight of hand and passing has been great so far.
I guess 2 or 3 games where he shows that touch of class were flukes and saturday night is the true indicator…..but i would be guessing wrong.

We were way too flat in attack all night
At one stage when there was a disputed possession call I thought the Cowboys had possession , we were that flat
We need to get deeper in attack and have different ball runners as options
We are very predictable without Brooks

The relentless defensive line speed (among other things) makes the transition from NYC to first grade tough.
If we were in with a real chance of being in top 8, I dare say Moses wouldn't be at 6…. The experience he will get from the last few weeks and the remaining rounds is one of the few positives we have. IMO Leave him there

In a perfect world we'd have Luke, Mitch & JT all playing in position for the next few weeks, starting to build the combinations that will I have no doubt win us a premiership.
Last two weeks, Mitch has Ben without either of them, playing with a halfback who is a utility or 5/8 playing 7 & a badly out of form second rower playing 6.
In he guilty of trying too hard in their absence? Particularly given we were playing catch up football on Saturday night from the 10th minute onwards. Maybe. But let's not lay the Benjis on an 18yo kid, who is learning the pace of first grade. If he's still making the same mistakes a decade down the road, then we knock him.

wow can't believe some 'supporters' being so critical of a 19 year old in his 5-6th first grade game.
Sorry guys but he isn't going to be a Brad Fittler in his 6th-7th-8th NRL game guys. Part of learning in life is making mistakes and that's just what he's doing. I think it was a great learning experience for him and will put him good stead for years to come.
I've seen him come through the lower grades playing great football and he is destined for big things. He is a very flashy player. He was man of the match 3 games ago and you make a thread dissing the kid?
Pretty disgraceful if you ask me.

Last posters have missed the point of the thread.
I'm cool that Moses had a shocker, the whole team did. I hope he continues to get picked at the back, especially now the season is probably dusted, results won't matter.
But there were loud calls to shift Moses permanently to 5/8th and I think with Brooks just 20 games under his belt, that combination would be a big mistake right now. Moses would also cop a barrage in defence.
It's not about hammering him for an ordinary game, it's about being realistic that he is well behind the first 2-3 halves options we have (yes I include Anasta).
