LOL, me either!
 
Well quite frankly the guy does not warrant 60 odd pages on this forum. He played one or two games ok this season, the rest he was not involved at all and treated the ball as those it had a virus and wanted nothing to do with it.

I hope for his sake that he has a real go next year if he is with us otherwise there will be another 60 odd pages saying to flick Moltzen - as there were a number of posts after each game this year saying why is Sheens picking him.

Moltzen don't rely on Marshall being your spokes person next year stand up and have a go and you will get some respect.

Here's my theory on what happened, based on the nibbles of info around here.

- tigers were looking to sign Dugan for 2013
- as such, they needed to release players to free up cap.
- they regretfully agreed that one would be moltz, but humpty did not want to be release him until Dugan was confirmed. Possibly why humpreys got quite upset at dousts announcement.
- Dugan choses the saints instead of us. Maybe a reason why doust announced molts early? To further entice Dugan with the quality coming to the club.
- moltz now isn't assured of a FB position at the saints, and decides he wants to stay. Especially with our 7 in doubt too.
- humphreys tries to make it happen knowing he has a loophole. For the club its become more necessary with lui also on the ropes.

Thoughts?

Sorry to be rude but that makes no sense at all. If they were looking to sign Dugan for 2013 why would they release Moltzen a whole year early, especially as his contract runs out at the end of 2012 anyway?

I don't think they really did want to release molts. He probably just wanted to go when it looked like dugan was coming and going to take FB…which would probably put him back to utility. Humpreys just was honoring his request. Now that isn't the case.
The saints are rebuilding this year and if that's where molts wanted to go, he had to jump ship now, not in 2013.
There have already been numerous posts by guys in the know that the culling was for a marque 2013, not 2012\. They may all have had Backloaded contracts and therefore harder to offload next year (or there were open spots this year - like snowden and Douglas posns at the sharks).
 
It will be interesting to see what type of contract they keep him on, if he stays. Whether it is the original 1 yr, or upgraded to 2 or 3? Would be a kick in the guts for him if they just kept him to the 1 yr with an option (after reneging on the 3 yr deal from the Saints).
 
Muff, year being way to harsh on this young star.

He does warrent 60 odd pages ( especially in a very long off season).

Let's all remember that Moltz had a knee Reco and it takes 12 months typically to regain full stength and that's not taking into account the mental / confidence elements.

The latter half of the season showed us what he adds to our team.

Is he a Duggan @1? No. Is he a Thurston @7? No.

He's a little of both and will get better in time playing where loves.

I just hope things work out in 2012.

I'd prefer Moltz over Dugan based on dugan's last season. The man was a tampon, has poor body language after every tackle + slow play the ball and had some very suspect defensive efforts as the last line of defense.

No doubting the kids talent but comparing the two in 2011 i'd take moltz in a heart beat!

Flame away :laughing:

I saw him wearing a pretty scarf once… Maybe he has a little of Ian Roberts too?

The only thing he might have in comparison to Thurston is possibly his boot sponsor!

If he stays, he needs to knuckle down and cement that number 1 jumper before he gets any upgrades or extensions.
