Couldn't be happier the past 2 weeks with this kids defence.

Puts his body into it well and nailed Tony Williams a few times last night.

He looks an incredible talent to me…even better than Brooks. He needs to take on more of the kicking duties as his kicking game is great.

The last 2 weeks we have been soundly beaten yet he still has looked good, imagine how he will go next year when we dominate up front and he has Teddy, Simona and Nofo outside him.
 
yes. Problem was tho he was shocking in attack. Didn't get involved bad passes. I agree with potter now to have waited until next year to play first grade.
 
I disagree littletiger.

Yes he threw some tough passes last night but thats to be expected by a rookie half in a well beaten team. Brooks has been doing it all year. Last week his attack was outstanding. Not many 5/8's can look good in a well beaten team and he is.

I think the experience he has gained under very hard circumstances will help him enormously next year.
 
I agree with KS , his defence has been far better than expected

Get the no look passes out of your game young man , play the percentages ,play smart
 
He goes hard into contact and puts his body on the line…you cant ask for much more than that...in fact i feel he defends better in the front line than he did a fullback...keep up the good work Mitch..

As for his attack... the signs are definitely there...just needs to be more selective with his passing which will come with the more experience he gains...
 
Brooks and Moses are showing real signs of class as of late - and two tries should have been scored off some great set plays, just let down by the second player involved being a little slow to the party - Akaoula was in no position to catch Moses cross field kick, and Brooks brilliant no look pass would have been snapped up by Tedesco any day of the week, where Hitchcox looked like he wasn't ready for it.

Moses defence is noticeably better than Brooks - having said that Brooks may well have been still nursing his shoulder injury.
 
If Moses can get through the next couple of games at 5/8 and with a full off season ,I am confident now that the most positive to come out of the season will be the Brooks / Moses combination moving forward, the kid is on a real heavy leaning curve ATM and making a few mistake but all in all it seems that the 5/8 spot is his next season.
 
Moses wasn't afraid to put his body in front of the big Bulldog forwards last night. With the right type of coaching the signs are there for a big year in 2015\. Please Wests Tigers fans don't be dismayed by what has happened in the past few weeks with regards to the coach and management issues. We will be a force to be reckoned with all the way through 2015 and beyond. However to achieve this we have to start cleaning up our current very serious coach and management issues immediately.
 
There's no denying it. These two kids are talented. They are still very young and raw, and will have plenty of rookie errors in their games for at least another 1-2years. But boy its going to be an exciting spine when teddy is back and we have some decent, healthy centres playing off them.
 
"Brooks brilliant no look pass would have been snapped up by Tedesco any day of the week, where Hitchcox looked like he wasn't ready for"

Your kidding are you not ? It went two foot over his head.

Moses is going fantastic and is definitely going places.

30-10
About 90 more tackles
11 sets of 6 less
Bulldogs made 400m more ground of kicks then the tigers. Lot of young inexperienced players. Wet ground, rain pissing down.

I hope they stick with same team next week. Go from playing to genuine top 8 teams to playing the two bottom teams. Dry track then these guys can chalk up a win or two. Will do them the world of good
 
I like his enthusiasm. You can see both Moses and Brooks are real competitors. It would be amazing to see the entire team have a solid injury free run to see how well we can go.
 
we looked so much better in attack when these two played off the cuff - I am beginning to think Farah is stifling an already ordinary attack with his crossfield runs and turning the ball back inside - he needs to get back to early season form and let the kids run the show.
 
Moses is the real deal his defence was very good last night. Looking forward to next year Brooks Moses and Tedesco but we need an overhaul in the Forwards so they can do their stuff.

What's your take on the forwards Irvine? What sort of pack and bench would you be looking at for next year based on our playing stocks?
 
Moses has always shown willingness to put his body on the line but his defence NRL has been surprisingly good.

He throws a beautifully weighted pass, but as others have said needs to be more selective about it.

Get your heads up, all ball players, have a look at the attack V defence situation, and if it is not on, don't throw it. It's not rocket science you just need to play what is in front of you not blindly go with the call all the time!

How many times did we carry through with a cut-out pass or a flat ball to someone who was not only marked but out-numbered?
 
We have to remember he is only a pup, and is still learning the game. All these hard losses and experience that he's getting in invaluable to his development.
Good times ahead I feel.
 
He's a real competitor. I see a bit of Keiran Foran in him in that respect.

There was a point in the game last night when he went up high on T Williams and while he's grappling with Williams he has the presence on mind to shout at his team mate to take his legs. No lack of passion and no lack of commitment from this kid. He will learn to make more consistently good decisions and I think he'll be the best of the lot.

Injury free is right. We are a patchwork team atm.

If this 3 year run of injuries ends next year, we'll be up there for sure.

Hopefully a cheeky signing or two as well!

I agree, he has go and will only get better in defence.

Attack wise, he looks like he wants the ball at least a couple of times a set and maybe he should be given it. He really warms up the more he touches it. I've seen him trying to jump in at dummy half to test out the big fellas around the ruck only to have Robbie push him aside most of the time. Late in the halves he should be allowed to test out the middle with plenty of touches around the ruck imo.

In a perfect world he wouldn't have played FG this season, but it is all experience and he'll be better for it.

Pretty excited about the Moses, Brooks, Tedesco combination.
