He is 10x better at fullback than Moses.
 
Probably.

However 25 odd games in 3 years. Its more hype and potential then anything great on the field so far.

Our fullback set up 5 tries today and was safe at the back. So to say Teddy is 10 x better, its just a educated opinion more then anything that can be put in as fact from on field exploits.
 
Teddy is much stronger, better defensively and under the bomb. His link play is ok too. Structurally he should be our fullback for sure.

Moses should be the 5/8, but really he should attack both sides of the ruck, like a modern fullback/old school 5/8\. Got to scrap that left side/right side rubbish which is far too limiting.

Moses also has a great kicking game, which would be lost at fullback.

People have been saying he should be moved to the centers, undoubtedly not, we would lose so much with him there. I think Moses/Brooks halves and Tedesco at the back is the way to go. Austin may need to move to center but that all depends on whether Lulia makes the wing spot his.
 
Lol Lulia will not be making the wing spot his I can assure you. One game where he falls over the line four times doesn't make him a winger. (okay two of those tries were skillful)

I think Moses has the makings of a sensational fullback and if Austin keeps playing well at six then moving them to accommodate the injury prone Tedesco would be unfair, especially when we have weaknesses in positions that Tedesco has shown skill at playing.

How many people would have predicted Dugan would move to the centres to accommodate Adam Quinlan, who also grew up playing halves?
 
If you genuinely believe that Steve Price, a coach who has since lost his job his position was THAT sensitive, made that call based on that then you're dreaming. The Dragons were weak outside and moving Dugan to the centres with Quinlan coming in was better than bringing in one of their nuffy reggies centres.

What you see is sometimes the case Milky.
 
Don't get me wrong, I really, REALLY like Tedesco. But I don't see why we should just turf Austin, to move Moses into the six when he's shown he's a perfectly capable fullback and Tedesco has played international footy in the centres where we're quite weak? Austin is a dead set gun. I'd go as far as to say that he's been close to our best player THIS YEAR.
 
Its a tough call isn't it. Moses is much better than Tedesco when it comes to ball playing out wide. Tedesco is a better all round fullback but Moses might be a better player.

I like Austin as well. Brooks, Moses, Austin & Tedesco to me all look like quality first grade players.

So when Morris is back who will be dropped? It will be..

1\. Dugan
2\. Morris
3\. Beale
4\. Farrell
5\. Nightingale

Byebye Quinlan
 
It's quite simple, our spine at full strength is:

1\. Tedesco
6\. Moses
7\. Brooks
9\. Farah

14\. Austin
 
Moses is a playmaker. From what i have seen is is bloody amazing. We were on the front foot pretty much the entire game so he could just slot in and work his magic.

Tedeso is just a damn good fullback in all aspects. Moses won't be able to match his speed or try scoring ability.

If Brooks and Moses play traditional on both sides of the field supported by Tedesco at the back…...yeah. .crazy shit

mary moved him to centres who is a trainer for nsw. i have no doubt in the world that dugan moved to the centres for origin.

however, i suggested the teddy to centres a few days ago and after looking at moses today i think it's quite possible. i think we need to ease teddy in by playing him at right centre. a lot of heavy collisions happen at fullback and i have a feeling he wont be too confident.

but teddy is still unsigned for next year
 
Of course he is, some have a very short memory.

I like Austin, he is a busy player and much like a friendly version of that grub Reynolds that was missing yesterday. However, even at this early stage, he is only a shadow of the player that Moses already is. I see a very bright future at six for the guy, similar to that of a great one from Brisbane that also shone when he played at the back early in his career.

Steve Price was already gone before Dugan moved to centre.
 
No one would think anything else but Teddy has to be able to play more than 2 games with out being out for months ,in saying that Moses will be playing plenty of fullback next year unless Teddys body can take impact just fact .
