Moltzen at 7

[ball_main]

Could b an awesome move as long as farah let's the halves b halves and he concentrates on his job( moving the ball forward !!!) needs to stop controlling the whole game! This season the only time I've seen our halves get the ball is to kick.

You must hate farah. Without farah where would be. I dont blame farah, when he looks up and sees benji and no half

About time. Looking forward to this. Long kicking game especially.

Whilst I don't disagree with this selection,the only long kicking I have seen from Moltzen in the last 5 years is kicking the ball out on the full from the kick off,which he has mastered.

Funny; sadly true.

This selection effectively spells the end of millers FG career with WT..

I disagree. I think it's Potter sticking to his guns tbh. I was disappointed to hear the rumor Miller would be in the squad purely because Potter said he didn't think he was ready.

moltzen in the halves, i dont mind.. i dont mind at all.. but next to sirro.. it's gonna be terrible

Apart fom Miller ,what other option do we have ??

Personally I would prefer them the other way round , but Potters closer to the action than I am , will come in handy with the big Broncos pack steaming down on us

 

[tig_prmz]

is miller a bad option?

why do sirro, anasta and moltzen get a turn to see what they can do without benji but miller cant?

i just think miller is being treated unfairly tbh.. maybe that's getting in my way of judgement.

hopefully potter knows what he's doing.. when whatever halves he does get set on, gel well and put up points CONSISTENTLY.. then only will i be able to change my mind

I don't read Moltzen's selection as a problem for Miller. Remember, Miller was dropped and Potter said he had things to work on and that this development wasn't of concern or surprise. Now since then, Miller has had just one game in state cup due to a bye and last weekend's washout. Now one game is hardly convincing enough for Potter to pull him back in. We should be applauding Potter for holding his stance on Miller;

a) because it tells Miller that there's no easy way back other than through hard work and persistence. Something he'll thank Potter for in the long run should he return. And,

b) It sends a message to all players that you need to warrant your spot. It is not yours to own. Now some may draw this conclusion and line it up with Lawrence or Blair but remember those two are internationals and deserve just a little more faith.

As for Moltzen, well I just hope his experience now leads to a more composed performance in the halves compared to last time. It's an opportunity to do well and if he does, Potter may well be tempted to keep him there.

Moltzen seems to have been blessed by injuries to key players that see him hang on to a first grade spot. Maybe time is running out as he moves on to his next position at half. I don't think he will get the fullback job again. He is not in the two top wingers in the club and he doesn't play in the centres. Benji is also to come back. Time to perform. He trained as half last year and did again at the start of this season. Hopefully he is recognised for his contribution or punted for his lack of.

Moltzen has been in good form at fullback this year - he is effectively doing the team a favour taking on the half back role, when he looked comfortable and dangerous at fullback.

The lucky one in all this is Tedesco who gets the number 1 jersey without having done much to deserve it. Still, I hope they both have blinders!

 

[everett]

I hope Moltzen has a blinder so Anasta has to start from bench and Teddy can stay at 1.

Jacob Miller surely must be looking at a release to play elsewhere.

 

[system]

So people want Anasta bac in the second row to accomodate moltzen now?

F@@k me we have the case of the Sheens still

 

[andrew 474]

just looked at the team , i like bell at lock , thompson for agression , the game could go to us just on players getting a go , or if they fail it could be a long night , tigers upset by 4

Moltzen was far from blessed. Led us to 7 or so games straight without a loss when playing halves a few years back before getting injured and out for a season. He was then given a short stint in halves again when he returned (probably shorter than miller) and was then shafted to full back (even though he said he wanted to play there).

our record with Moltz at 7 before his injury was exceptional… only in his form slump and then also at 7 did we loose the games... and in those cases we were loosing games when he wasnt there..

Now is is playing quite well and back at 7, i think he could be the Tigers halves pairing with Benji when he returns for rest of the year... i think its a great move by potter

I cant find a spot at all for Anasta in the 17\. Not sure i can for Moltz either when everyone is fit but maybe this move to half will decide this one way or another

 

[pHyR3]

For the people who say our record with Moltz at 7 was exceptional, was it because of Moltzen at 7 or did it happen with him there? I cant, for the life of me remember something so specific so long ago :laughing:

Quite like this 1, 6, 7 combo. It's what I picked on a post before the selection :slight_smile:

 

[barra]

As long as it means Robbie doesn't try to play #9, #6 and #7, and be general play kicker in almost every set it might work… as long as Moltzen steps up. He hardly kicked or organised in his previous time at #7.

At least he's fast enough not to let attackers run around him and get on his outside shoulder or worse, as happened to Anasta a couple of times.

About time. Looking forward to this. Long kicking game especially.

You're surely joking… 😱pen_mouth:

 

[tigerkaz]

Isn't Moltz fullback this week? surely Tedesco isn't fit enough yet.

I agree that he certainly helped us to that winning-streak. I believe that his injury is what cost him his previous form but hoping that he will find it again. However, since the injury he hasn't been dished his fair share in the halves and unfortunately was made to play out of position. Similar to Tedesco playing wing eh? :unamused:

It's time that Tim is given a chance. This move could be what we're looking for. Benji, Moltz pairing?
