If you look in the actual thread that already exists you will see the majority of people who are critical of his performances in the past have applauded the game he played last night, want to see more of it and for him to build on it.

Almost makes up for the 80 metre try he gave the Warriors

But I do want more consistency with the high ball, although lastnight I actually believe he tried to attack the ball more, he lost a couple that swirled around in the air heaps but he atleast tried to get underneath…
Losing it in the swirl happens to the best of them, happend to slater against the sharks

Jason he didn't let them bounce, the one that bounced next to him in second half I reckon moved more than a meter on the way down, it was right in front of me, he lost it, he didn't let it bounce, happens to slater too, eg, vs sharks

Yeah it can happen and can be bloody embarassing at the same time

Point taken but you must admit his game is improving and if it keeps improving, as I think/hope it will, he will be a big part of a great team come the semis. I hope so, anyway

I had a quick look but thought I would make a Molzen thread. I didnt see one dedicated to him under last nights game

He is getting better each week, he still has a way to go but we need him and his speed at the back to be any chance this year. Benji pace has dropped off a lot this year and Rowdy struggling for form Moltzen is about the only one who is capable of running in a long distance try we were once famous for.
Still a long way to the finish post, I would be worried if Moltzen and the rest of the team were firing on all four cylinders. I bag Sheens a lot but in recent times he seems to be able to get his team firing at the right time of the year so lets hope he can do it again

People have such low expectations of Moltzen that basically if he goes through a game not making a mistake and generally staying out of the back line and attack (therefore not stuffing plays up) then he is considered to have a good game.

His a confidence player and hopefully last night will give him the boost he needs to play well on a regular basis.

He went looking for work last night and came up trumps…

@Irvine said:Yeah he has hit form. A NSW jumper is just around the corner. Tedesco should start looking for a new club.
Surely you jest
If Tedesco isn't first up fullback I will eat my hat

This I definitely agree with. Moltzen has talent, we've all seen it, but he's just so damn inconsistent and has been shuffled around due to his utility value.
On face value if we look at him purely as a fullback, then Tedesco has him covered IMO, then there's Manaia Rudolph who is carving up in NYC and has only played around 30 games of league in his life, plus there's also Kurtis Rowe, another Australian schoolboy rep who is no slouch at the back;
Moltzen can also play centre, but the Tigers have Lawrence, Reddy and Ayshford
He can play at 6, but we have Benji, plus young Sirro is on the rise, and then there's Benji's younger brother who also has talent and will continue to improve.
In form, there's definitely room in the 17 this season for Moltzen. Next season I think things will be a bit tougher with the return of Tedesco and I daresay Sirro will be in the top squad also.
Moltzen could be the bench utility, but would he settle for this? And as yet we don't know if he'll be re-signed by the Tigers. Last night was a step in the right direction for him, but he needs to improve further and play good consistent football on a weekly basis if he's going to be in Tigers colours next year.
There's still a lot of football to be played this season and I hope Moltzen plays his best football for the remainder of it.
I'd love to see Moltzen to move to 5/8th, Ryan to fullback and Utai back onto the wing.
It's been mentioned he's a confidence player, and the media hype on every single mistake he's made, whether he's a halfback, whether he was worth retaining etc. would have done a world of damage.
That's all in the past now, no-one really cares about Moltzen media-wise, and he can get confidence from having another run in the halves without being under constant scrutiny.
