MOYLAN MAYBE RELEASED ..

[WT2K]

Being reported on Twitter that the Panthers have lodged a 3 year contract for Maloney to the NRL. Really shrewd signing by Gus imo. The guy has had success everywhere he has gone, and he could be just what they need to go that extra step. It's been clear for at least a year that Moylan doesn't fit in there. Maloney's signing makes Penrith instant contenders next year imo. Arguably the best halves pair in the comp.

Great pick up by the panthers. Agree with all your points. Big mistake by the sharks letting him go.

Well the Sharks and Roosters recruiting is looking very strong and again demonstrates that even with money to throw around our club has alot of ground to make up when trying to attract current rep players
We need to have a good season next year to win some level of credibility, but looking at a lot of the squads we are up against - on paper - we are going to have to play out of our skin.

 

[Joel Helmes]

Maloney to Panthers, Pearce to Sharks and Moylan to Tigers? Could work.

Great points you make, good sides recruit better players when they come on the market regardless of who they have signed, some of our supporters always make excuses for not signing top notch players, either they are over rated or knobs, good sides get the good players and deal with things after they have said players.
Sitting back waiting for a an elite player with no baggage to come here is fairy tale stuff, we need to be proactive, Cleary has stepped it up for sure, but we still have a long way to go.

Maloney is on a downhill slide. Defends like Moses while giving away half a dozen penalties a game. Moylan and Fifita together will be lucky to last half a season without the integrity unit getting involved. Cronulla should look at recruiting Simona to build the integrity at the club

My favourite is supporters who don’t want to sign top players because they are “douche bags”. We haven’t played semis in forever we can’t be picky. If a douche bag is going to win you games than come on board.

We should be looking at luring Joel Thompson if anyone. Much more realistic, and plays in a position that we do need strengthening.

 

[voice_of_reason]

Panthers will have two of the best kickers in the comp - it will be interesting to see who gets the job.

 

[Needaname]

think there is a chance Holmes moves back to Queensland to play fullback?
There's no guarantees that Moylan will start in the halves if Flanagans son is ready for the step up.

 

[GNR4LIFE]

If the Sharks roll with Moylan/Townsend, then they are the clear losers in this deal with the Panthers. Townsend is average, and Moylan, i don't think is the player most here make him out to be. Gus would be grinning like a cheshire cat. Id take Reynolds/Brooks over Moylan/Townsend.

 

[Spud_Murphy]

Townsend and Moylan in the halves? Oh dear Cronulla.

Big mistake letting Maloney go imo

Indeedee doo! Penrith definitely got the best out of that deal. As good as Moylan potentially could be, I don't think he has ever really shown all that much on the field to warrant the raves he gets. Maloney, on the other hand, has proven himself - he brings determination, game smarts and a winning culture to a team.

Penrith will be much better for his inclusion and for ridding themselves of a distraction. Next season could well be their year.

It's easy to forget the guy is 26\. Long past discussing potential. That said, he's probably as good as he'll ever be. He's always been inferior to Tedesco and has never stood up at rep level.

 

[Telltails]

Quality player already. Flannagan is a smart operator.Knows how to get the best from his players and is not bothered by the bad boy image. I for one would be very happy with the squad the Sharks have assembled and they are a club that continues to get stronger.

Being the dominant playmaker in the last 40 minutes in his last origin resulting in a NSW win is stranding up at rep level IMO. He took control of game 3 last year on the right edge and came up with the play that created the match winning break. Very impressive. I also believe we win this years series if he plays instead of Pearce. Its a disgrace he didnt resume in the halves with Maloney this year. Moylan is an absolute gun, so strange how many put him down as a player.

I'd much rather Cartwright when his name was briefly mentioned a couple months ago. Has more X factor.

I didn't realise he was 26! If that's the case, then yeah he's definitely done nothing to warrant the wraps he gets.

Could not disagree more. Cartwight has so much talent, no doubt, but he is a hack of a player. Ruins so many plays with his ego and cant tackle. Moylan is a proven match winner. He demands the ball in tough situations and gets it right more often the most would.

Yep 100% agree that Cartwright is a dunce. He reminds me of Curtis Sironen - a five eight in a forwards body. Wants to do all the flashy stuff but not the hard yards.
