MOYLAN MAYBE RELEASED ..

[vlad]

Moylan is certainly a high quality rep player but when you have already assembled the majority of your squad, I think you should only buy someone that fits in with your 2018 plan, not someone who replaces a player you've already spent good money on.

Reynolds would be close to our highest paid player now so it's silly buying another five eight - he's not a fulltime hooker as some suggest.

Tui is the current tip as fullback so if Moylan plays fullback Tui will be the utility - so why did we buy Benji? Don't tell me to replace Brooks, that's just dumb in anyone's language.

The two last spots should be for areas we are weakest at, not got covered already. A good, fast backline goal kicker would be nice but there's not many of them - period

With Moylan in the team we look like a top 8 side.

Doesn't seem like you read what he was saying. Unfortunately for the brigade who want him here, we've already spent money and roster spots on the spine, including depth. Moylan might seem great because he appears to better than what we have, but he doesn't fill a position we need. If he was a back rower, we'd be in business, but we don't need a 5//8 or fullback. We have sufficient depth already.

Who are our sufficient depth fullbacks ?

Your way of thinking is a good strategy if you never want to play finals football.

That's because if Manly sign him, they will move Blake Green on. Who will we move on?

We don't need to move on anyone. Unlike Manly we have enough cap room.

Exactly, Tui is a gamble and we have no solid backups it doesn't work out or if Tui was to go down. We need a specialty fullback in the squad. Ithink our squad currently lacks enough depth at fullback, backrow and potentially hooker.

Gawd…we are stuffed...

Marshall played more dummy half last night and at his age I would think that suits him more than a backup FB..

Now

Moylan
Lolohea
Naiqama
Nofoaluma
Thompson

Seems a much better depth chart..

Your way of thinking is a good strategy if you never want to play finals football.

The logic on this forum from some members just boggles my mind. We would easily have one of the weakest spines in the comp.

Our back rower is a bigger issue than our spine.

When you need to buy new tyres for your car, do you buy 8? Just because you have the money?

No, because it is pointless.

Tui was bought as a fullback but was given time at #6 in first grade this year to get him fit. No-one can argue that he got better each game he played, he even got a MOTM award.

Even Tui admits that his preferred position is fullback and I for one don't think that he will be a flop there.

I won't argue if Cleary signes Moylan, I just believe he isn't a priority for one of the two spots left.

Sure and if we can get Thurston we'l be awesome. But reality is we'rean outside chance at best of getting Moylan. Until it happens we're stuck with what we've got. I put Marshall 4th on that list. He wouldn't be ideal but whose 4th choice is?

Yeah right we should pay 500k to warehouse a few fullbacks… Any move we make causes a reaction. We spend X amount on Moylan and it has to come from somewhere. Given we have little room to manoeuvre at this point it would take some effort to squeeze him in. You asked what our depth was - that's pretty much it. You might like it but that's where it is.

How can you compare tyres to rugby league players. Tyres are all the same which is why you buy 4, not 8\. Players have different skills and abilities. You want to have the best players possible. As for Tui, who cares. Players have shown very little loyalty to the fans and the club in the past, time to put together a team that can actually make the finals.

The point is, our back row is weaker than our spine. We have an Origin player at 6, a 1 who could be anything and a 9 who could be anything.

So you're saying our finals aspirations hinge on Matt Moylan?

We have a hell of better chance of making the finals with him in the team. You don't think so?
