Austin being considered for fullback/Moltzen gone?

[Milky]

I can't get Mayers Q&A on here as I am on my phone but there was a question saying

"Will be be looking elsewhere for a fullback or use our own" (not word for word)

Mayer replied saying we have 6 players In our top 25 who can cover fullback "Rowe, Moses, Nofo, Simona, Richards and even Austin" no mention of Moltzen which means he might be gone or considered as a back up 5/8…

Maybe he means players who can be fielded this year, as Moltz is indefinite.

Probably meant at this stage Milky

but hopefully he meant he is gone…

This just sounds like a name drop to say there are options if it came down to it. It doesn't sound like a concrete consideration.

Whatever it means I think we should start experimenting sooner rather than latter.

One can only hope Moltzen gets the flick

 

[innsaneink]

I'd like to see how he goes before we go flicking players

Sometimes a long lay off can have a positive affect

If Mayer didn't rate Tedesco he probably doesn't rate Moltzen either.

I'm happy to keep Tedesco at fullback while we are are still semi contenders.

Yes it can, just look at Hodkinson!

Saw the State Cup game today and more than ever believe that Mitchell Moses is just about ready to play 5/8 for Firsts. Austin will give a good account at fullback. Tedesco? I think we should give priority to developing the juniors we have rather than the juniors that don't want us. We can then look forward to being a premiership contender in 2015.

I would see teddy at fullback for a game or two at least. And if he shows his heart isn't in it, get him a nice comfortable chair to watch all tigers games from the change rooms. This means first, and state cup.

If he isn't playing FOR the club, he shouldn't play at any level
