He would be the first of the Not so Big 4 to go for mine.

He is a very poor mans Benji Marshall.

At least Benji in his prime could pull off plenty of his miracle plays.

Moses is just a poser, who is a shirt grader is defence, and takes a lot of soft options.

Even looked like he had go at Tigers supporters towards the end when a few were having a bit of a crack at him.

To be honest he looks like he thinks his … doesn't stink.

Maybe get Brooks on the cheap and find him a good journeyman in the 6 that can tackle.
 
You may be right Eddie. Moses certainly hasn't started this season like he finished last season. He's gone backwards. I don't think the team is playing what they see in front of them either. Our set plays are too predictable and we're not throwing anything creatively at the opposition, a lot of that comes back to Moses and Brooks. JLJ offered nothing in attack today which made Moses even easier to handle.
 
I'm starting to think we're better off keeping Brooks tbh. Moses personality just rubs me the wrong way. Seems like a self entitled brat. Brooks barely says two words and I'm starting to believe he's being lead by the others. Behind a good pack he might excel. Cleary might be just what he needs,
 
After today the big 4 myth is finally dead, also JLJ is not the answer, let them go and buy some committed players, some with an idea about attack. Also revamp JT's defensive structure, it clearly sucks.

We don't try isolate defenders , work opposition halves over , turn the big guys over inside , kick early in the count to try and tire big sides out , nothing that amounts to a game plan

I'm at the stage it's not coaches , it's the players and the quicker we turn over the entire roster nothing will change

Tedesco is even to blame , he is not even running at the few holes we do create
 
Moses will make a living in the game but the status he thinks he is will never be attained , just has not got that bit extra!

The two responsible for the defensive structure are Webster and Stringer. You could say that JT was the boss and that makes him responsible but it was devised by those two. Other teams use an up and in compressed defence effectively but our players don't seem competent enough to use any defensive structure effectively. 31 missed tackles today, just disgraceful.

Unfortunately quite a few of those who played today (Lawrence etc) are contracted for 2018 but a complete, almost 100%, cleanout is needed before 2018\. The club finally has the money to do this. Historically many team have had a 100% cleanout and overall the results have been good.

I think it's not only a good way to go. But IMO it's the only way to go.

Brooks' interview prior to the game was refreshing. When asked about his future, he was clearly frustrated. I think it is pretty clear he wants to stay and play. Perhaps it is time to tell Isaac enough is enough.

We aren't fit enough to play an up and in compressed line , we are not strong enough to even contemplate going man on man or live with a slide defence and we've seen the horrors of sending players out of the line trying to close down attacks

Tell me one defensive pattern we can work with …..
 
Demanding the pay he currently is,he should've won us that game. He was horrible. Cut him loose or reduce the offer. See how his puppet master reacts to our ransom demands. The 4s bargaining power decreases every week.
 
I say get lost you money hungry boy. We don't need players like you who think they are the best but in reality are John West's rejects. With the money you want we can buy a much better half with experience and take your manager with you!!
 
He's carrying our bloody team on his own, he's trying too hard but someone has to.
He's still a kid and has more talent than our entire team put together, put a decent team around him and watch how he kills it. You people have no idea or vision.
 
We need to retain our halves and play them behind a dominant pack. Suli should move to right centre and I think you will see a big improvement in Nofo's defence. Suli is a good defender at right centre.

Funnily enough I'm also all for Brooks staying over Moses if that's the choice (despite believing the opposite for a while). Moses demeanour really puts me off and I just doubt his commitment to the club. I also believe he's the exact kind of player we don't need - Benji Marshall Mk. 2, erratic and over excited. We know how that ended.. Brooks strikes me as having more composure and I really hope he does improve and makes his mark here.

We have no vision lol…. for the money he's asking we can get a rep half that will perform without trying too hard as you put it. Maybe he should go if some club is prepared to stump up the cash. In my eyes he's not worth the dollars he's asking

100% agree. Let Moses walk and use the money to buy a 6 with a bit of leadership and experience (Like an Austin 🙄). I've had it with Moses hero plays. No doubting he has a go, but he just doesn't do it for me.
