If he wasn't chasing money he would never have signed with the dragons in the first place. He could have simply played out the last year of his contract with the Tigers.
Sounds like a right spoilt brat and this shows in his play - hogs the ball, bad positional play etc.
I'd be happy for him to sit the season out, but not quite as happy as watching him blow it big time in the number one at the red V.
On ya bike, Timmy
It's not often I read something on here that makes me genuinely angry but this is one occasion. I actually can't understand how anyone with a reasonable degree of intelligence can believe this sort of rubbish, let alone spout it.
"If he wasn't chasing money he would never have signed with the dragons in the first place."
Rubbish. So far as anyone's aware he was told there either wasn't room for him next year or that there might not be. The guy's got to make a living - do you seriously expect him to refuse to look elsewhere under those circumstances?
"He could have simply played out the last year of his contract with the Tigers."
Are you really that naive? He's been told he might not get a game. Just think about what that means for the kid's future for a few seconds. Can you really not understand how he could change his mind from "I'd like to stay at the Tigers but they don't want me, so I'll go and get the best deal I can somewhere else" to "It looks like the Tigers now want me, I've always wanted to play here so I hope I can stay". It's not ideal, but it's also hardly Moltzen's fault. Yet you want him to have a totally black and white (in both ways) mindset: he's a Tiger, then he's a Dragon. Never mind how he's been messed about by the Tigers - frankly I think the club's lucky he still wants to play for them after how he's been treated.
"Sounds like a right spoilt brat and this shows in his play - hogs the ball, bad positional play etc"
Seriously, this is just ridiculous. You think the guy's some kind of playground ball hog? If you really believe he doesn't pass because he's selfish then I strongly suggest that you don't know anything about professional sport, full stop. He, like virtually every other professional sportsman, is striving to be the best he can be. If his passing and positional sense are not the best in the comp that is, I can absolutely assure you, not because he's "a spoilt [sic] brat". Anyway, why would selfishness = bad positional play? You might as well say the reason Benji isn't brilliant defensively is that he's too interested in carvery dinners. Galloway would be quicker if he stopped watching the NFL. Lawrence would be less injury prone if he liked different kinds of t-shirts.
The bottom line is this: you are saying you want your club to lose a good player because of some character traits you have identified from (a) media/fan speculation and (b) some unrelated on-pitch performance matters. If you said you wanted rid of Moltzen because you don't think he's any good then that would be one thing (though I'd still say your player judgement skills would be severely lacking) but to make out like it's some big character issue is just nonsense of the highest degree. Frankly I think the club would be better off without fans like you trying to drive out players based on innuendo, supposition and borderline insane leaps of logic.
Could not disagree more. He is a VERY ordinary footballer and the amount of space taken up on this forum to discuss him is mind blowing.
Go to Saints Tim, please.
I have seen nothing in his play to suggest he will progress any further.
For someone to mention him in the same breath as Tallis is laughable.
