Moltzen at 7 = 6 from 6!

This may be so. There is little doubt that it is true. However, it is not a stat we want bandied about. Let's keep it under wraps shall we? eh?

I see your point, but he did his job very well. He provided excellent ball to the backs tonight and didn't overplay his hand. He looks most comfortable in the 7\. jersey and that's where he is most effective IMHO.

just saying i barley notice he was out there,though i was watching online so ill catch the replay on tonight and see how he went
i dont think we won though cause of moltzen at 7
 
Im a bit with X-Pac, i'm a big supporter of Moltzen staying at 7 but imo we still wouldve won with Lui at 7 and Moltzen at 1 tonight.
Still, he did what he had to do and when Benji is running the show and playing as well as he is, just give him the ball.

It would've been a totally different game had Moltzen being playing fullback. Moltzen would've been doing the opposite to Beau on kick returns. More of the game would've been played at our end of the field and we'd have been kicking from deep inside our own half for most of the evening.
 
Ryan made 200+ metres. Moltzen hasn;t made that in all his games at fullback combined.
Moltzen not at fullback is a huge difference.
And Moltzen at 7 is also a huge difference. He gets the ball where it needs to be quickly and cleanly and has good vision, strength & a bit of speed when needed.
1 Ryan, 7 Moltzen is sooo much better than 1 Moltzen, 5 Ryan.
 
Blind Freddy, a bloke who I talk about alot, can see that the way to go is Moltzen 7, Benji 6.

Too bad the Fonz is obsessed with turning Moltz into a fullback.
 
Moltz gives the team a genuine option who can threaten the line (run + pass) on the opposite side to Benji…........

MASSIVE difference when teams have to watch both sides of the field (Last season they could sleep on J Morris side and Lui doesn't threaten much at this stage)

In comes Moltz........they have to guard both sides. We can attack from either side and the middle. (Robbie)

Makes us a whole different side.
 
his kicking game is what will always let him down, especially in general play! if he improves then he should be our number seven!
 
Lazo in at FB and we are set. He's better at half, but he and Moltz can switch + he can goal kick.

We completely outplayed them tonight…........yet could have lost due to not stretching the lead via goalkicks.

I got what you were saying and I wasn't suggesting that Moltzen won us the game. I'm saying that the guy knows how to play halfback and looks comfortable there. I personally think he played the perfect game given what was in front of him. Lui is a talent but he's still finding his feet and Moltzen is just not a _complete_ fullback. His attack is great, but he is shaky when it comes to kicks and his positioning can be left wanting at times and he certainly doesn't provide the go forward at the back that Beau did tonight.

I guess I'm saying that this is the best possible combination with our current crop of players pending Tuiaki's return.

1\. Ryan
2\. Tuqiri
3\. Ayshford
4\. Lawrence
5\. Tuiaki
6\. Marshall
7\. Moltzen

You know I'm right….
