I posted the following in another thread:-
I just went through the tape of the game.
53m 18s Simona on for Lui and picks up the kick through as he runs on.
53m 57s Marshall at half at scrum, Moltzen at right centre.
54m 32s Moltzen at right centre misses Shaun Johnson, who scores.
62m 04s Moltzen at right centre after penalty tap.
62m 30s Marshall at second receiver.
65m 42s Marshall first receiver to kick for McKinnons try.
67m 42s Marshall at first receiver for 40/20 kick.
68m 18s Marshall at half for scrum.
68m 55s Marshall first receiver from play the ball back to Moltzen at 5/8 or centre.
70m 45s Marshall throws ball back "20 metres" over centre Moltzen's head.
73m 42s Marshall first receiver passes to Fulton, who passes inside to Moltzen.
74m 11s Moltzen at first receiver but ball goes out to the opposite side.
74m 50s Marshall first receiver passes to Simona, Moltzen into dummy half when Simona tackled.
78m 11s Marshall half at scrum
78m 59s Moltzen at 5/8 or centre when ball knocked on by Mannering.
79m 00s Marshall at half for scrum.
I am not anti-Moltzen, but the above suggests to me that he was NOT playing half and he had so little impact in the "last 20 minutes" he was not the saviour some are suggesting.
I do hope that Moltzen gets back to his best, but he is certainly a way from that at the moment.
