Memo To Sheens. Re: Moltzen

[AndTheKungFoSing]

I don't have a problem with him there..

But he looks more comfortable in the halves…

 

[Balmain_Bug]

I can tell you all for a fact that the Fonz is dying to have Moltzen at fullback. Chachi has been brain washed as well. Memo to Fonz - we will not make the semi's next year if we do not have;

**<big>1\. Gallant
6\. Benji
7\. Moltzen</big>**

Its clear the Fonz has fallen off his bike too many times !!

 

[system]

We won't make the semis with Moltzen at fullback but Gallant is interchangeable with at least 2 of the new recruits IMO

 

[magpiecol]

I think you guys are being pretty harsh on Molzten. Made a few costly errors early in the second half but otherwise played pretty well. Again attacked great and pulled off a try saver too. Hardly poor?

Very poor. Has no idea how to play fullback. Should be in the team but not anywhere near the back. We should get a "proper" half, someone with a kicking game (Prince killed us last night) and maybe Moltzen off the bench.

Wow col…don't hold back.....last I looked there weren't to many halfbacks lying around the quality of Prince...Just who do you suggest we recruit.....

Moltzen has been a half all his Life......Sheens desire to replace Hodgo has seen him frig around with him.....

Here's one for ya.....Moltzen will be at the top of his game in 5 years time......You will be saying Prince who.....

Just hope Wests Tigers have the forsight to see it......

 

[alexaki]

It's obvious that Halfback is Moltzens position..but Sheens disagrees!.. :question:

 

[Tigerdave]

is it going to take him just as long to realise this as it did with morris at halfback?

 

[Birchgrove_bill]

Gee, some people can be harsh.

I would have thought Moltzten playing fullback would have been the least of our problems.

Granted, it's not our preferred line up, but given the options…

Someone has actually said his play at full back has cost us two games. I can think of a few things ahead of Moltzen's fullback play which have proved costly: 1) A lack of penalties, 2) A lack of offloads, 3) an inability to shut down offloads, 4) the captains kicking game - vs Parra 1 kick out on the full = 8 point try, 1 kick in the back of Moi Moi = 6 points, then the two last night for starters,5) Benji's goal kicking, 6) Benji's poor kicking game, 7) an inability to play out the percentage play when needed.

I don't know where Moltzen's fullback ability rates amongst these points, but I would suggest it's a pretty low priority.

Moltzen is no fullback and part time half not up to nrl standed in tight games

I think people seem to forget that it was Moltzen at fullback who pull off a try saving / match winning tackle to hold out a speeding Minichello against the roosters. Not ba positional play on that occasion. We're gone 4 weeks ago otherwise. Also, he was playing with injury last night.

But here are some other things we should all be more worried about: 1) a prop who gives 4 penalties away per game, 2) a very suspect goal line defense and 3) two second rowers who offer very little if anything at all (you probably know who I mean - but keep ficussing on Moltzen).

Also, in regards to Prince - see my previous post re: our kicking game (from farah / benji), your point about his area of our game is spot on.

 

[McGrime]

I also think he is better suited at halfback…............but what about Lui ???
Hey Sheensy what about :

1\. Benji.......Playing similar role as Hodgo in attack.
6\. Lui.........Has the passing game IMO
7\. Moltzen...Needs to be in the team at half

 

[supercoach]

It really dosnt matter–we dont have a front row and both your 1 and 7 will be put under heaps of pressure without a engine room setting a platform and winning the middle

 

[McGrime]

Oh too True supercoach

But then again you need to keep your forwards on the paddock.

You can have the best pack in the world but if they are injured :deadhorse:

 

[MightyMaggy]

the winning half back combo should not have been broken up….. you'd think that would have been a no brainer....

What's wrong with you blokes? Won't you ever learn?

Now repeat after me …...... "When something is working in the Wests Tigers team, Tim must make a change!
Now repeat after me again, ..............
