Bah! Fans hat save 'give him a couple of years to develop' just blow my mind in. People said that for Brooks. They would play in in NSW Cup for the entire season this year to help him develop. He doesn't need it!! Moses is of a slighter build but in the end the best players don't need that time toiling in the lower grades.
There have been many players smaller than Moses who have played first grade. Rowe is actually smaller than Moses, and i don't here people crucifying him about his size (his skills yes). Rowe is shorter and stockier than Moses but Moses has a larger frame and they weigh the same amount now.
Elite young players make the step up and yes, like many young players they will struggle in defence for the first year or two of their career. You don't think Benji was 90kg when he debuted do you?
Fact is Moses should be our fullback v the Roosters. Offers so much more than Rowe and won't have too much contact not being in the defensive line so that should allow him all the time he needs to develop… He's played fullback and has a great combination with Brooks.
