The more I see Moylan play - the better I understand that he is a better player than our teddy. Compared to Moylan - Teddy seems one dimensional while Moylan does it all.

Teddy's greatest asset is his speed and he will develop other facets of his game over time, however Moylan at this stage is ahead of Teddy given he is a more complete player and his involvement and contribution is far greater than Teddy's.

Teddy will be a top player, I just wish sometimes he would take a little bit more time when fielding the ball. By that I mean he seems to be thinking a couple of plays ahead & it can backfire.

He seems very uncomfortable against defending the high ball- that's his one weakness.
Compared to moylan, teddy is a couple of years younger with less experience. As someone said earlier, reckon moylans best position is 5/8 anyway.

Tedesco is a great running fullback.
Sure he lacks some of the skills of someone like Moylan or even Brett Hodgson. But some of the greatest fullbacks ever only needed to be hard runners and tough to tackle, examples include Garry Belcher, Graeme Eadie and Anthony Minichello.
Give me the triumvirate of Les Boyd, Garry Jack and Teddy any day!

Teddy has a pretty good passing & short kicking game. Besides being lightening quick, his defence is quite solid also.
He is not a half but as far as fullbacks go I'm pretty happy that we have Teddy at the Tigers over anyone else.

Tedesco is a pure fullback at this stage of his career, whereas Moylan has the ball skills of a half and that rightly puts him in front. Whether he stays there or not, only time will tell, but I think NSW could do a lot worse than Teddy at 1, Moylan at 6 and Pearce at 7 over the next few years.

Replace Pearce with Adam Reynolds.
PS. And get Hayne back with a Langer-style SOS. Without him our backs have no spark and we will get pumped.

Moylan is playing well, but he has plenty of weaknesses as well. Moylan is no where near the kick returner that Tedesco is, he has inferior support play and is worse in contact (attack and defence)
Moylan also has a superior playmaking ability, and has a kicking game.
Different skill sets

Moylan has got nothing on Teddy. IMO

That's right I remember reading Watene-Zelezniak was the reason Coote was let go.
Moylan and Tedesco are two different players.
Tedesco is a lot better allround player than what he was at age 20 and by the time he is 24 which is Moylan's age he should be even better.

Along with Moss, they figured they had 2/3's of the back 3 worked out.
Internally as late as the middle of last year they were undecided who was the better option between Moylan and Moss. Moss was injured 2 years in a row, Moylan has got better and better and better, good luck to him.

I don’t watch Penrith so I can’t comment on Moylan; however, I did watch the City Country game in which Austin isolated Moylan one-on-one on the line and ran over the top of him to score.
I nearly fell out of the chair when one of the commentators said that you can expect that when a big man isolated a small man on the line. I mean, it was nothing like Pritchard carrying Moses over the line.
That poor attempted tackle convinced me that Teddy has Moylan covered in defence at least. If Moylan were to switch to the halves, he will have a big target on him for back-rowers to run at.

Tedesco is a fullback.
Moylan is a #6
IMO.

That would have been interesting to see considering Austin and Moylan were teammates in that game.
