Tim 'Billy Slater' Moltzen.............

[tiger4ever]

hes improved every week…great game by timmy but the whole team played well

 

[Cultured_Bogan]

It's not the first good game he has produced this year, but it's definitely the first time he's produced a great game against a team worthy of noting. He was fantastic under the high ball tonight, and even when he sent the ball to the Tuqiri, he had a plan to get the quick run out of dummy half and picked up a cool ten metres.

Apart from the half arsed abortion grubber kick for Ryan he was great, and I think it's even unfair to bring that up.

I'd really like to turn Blair around and send him back to Victoria so we can keep Moltzen and Gibbs tbh.

Mac , the post of the year , shirt & simple

I am wondering where this has been all year, he was brilliant tonight.

 

[jirskyr]

Don't know where the direct running on kick returns came from? I think I only counted one hand off.

I yelled "WHO ARE YOU?" and everyone nodded.

:laughing:

I said the same thing.

"Who is this bloke in the #1 jersey!?"

Fantastic game. Looked like a completely different player out there. Happily eating humble pie, just a shame he could not play like that all the time.

 

[hadds75]

mmm.

his best game for the club imo, including his games vs canberra and nq a few years ago.

his kick returns were unreal. Makes a huge difference.

Hey guys that grubber When you watch the replay it actually rebounds of the Dragon players leg but he did not play at it
Great to see him positively attacking the ball That is what a fullback is suppose to do Tim is finally showing signs he understands what being a fullback is all about
If you keep this up Tim I may have to remove both feet from my mouth

 

[prattenpark]

Pass the pie. Was his best game all year. Took the high ball under pressure, ran hard. On ya, Timmy.

 

[dermo]

That bomb he took under pressure then the 10 metres he made after and the fact he should have got a penalty in the tackle was play of the night for me

 

[underdog]

I think Timmy might have seen a "PASS IT TIM!" Sign in the crowd before kick off - it worked wonders, and he only butchered one overlap last night, but well and truly made up for it with his RUNNING THE BALL BACK!

He did a Darius Boyd on Darius Boyd last night - and came out looking better than him. :mrgreen:

Great work Tim, and i'll have some of that pie as well.

 

[stryker]

Played a very good fullbacks game. Followed the ball behind the line perfectly and his anticipation was spot on. That sliding save on our try line and that bomb he took were classic fullback plays. These were the areas that I have been critical of him on and tonight he proved that he does have it in him.

Finally starting to feel secure with him at the back.

 

[barra]

Yeah my portion of pie tastes bitter-sweet too…

 

[biggest_tigers_fan]

If he continues this way we can all forget his crap start at fb.Iwish he was going to be at fb for us next year.

By the way big damo hasnt been on here for 9 weeks lol

He was coming off a knee reconstruction and a year out though. 99% of players don't run hard for months after that operation.

CNX you are on the money! Players after undergoing a reconstruction (particularly if they are a back) seemingly take a minimum of 1/2 a season to recapture their best so it was always going to be a test of patience from the coaching staff, team mates and fans.

I think it was a premature decision to let him go even if it was based on salary cap pressure and even worse if it was based on his form on the field at the time.

If you have talent it doesn't just disappear overnight and in the case of footballers it will always depend on a healthy body.

great to see his biggest critics giving credit where credit is due.

I think it should also be noted that Moltzen was getting moved to a different position every week for most of the season, since he was given a permanent role he has got better and better each week.

I was in a Saints box last night, and they reckon they are better off with Moltz than Boyd, I think that view is skewed by a witnessing him at his best and a bit of optimism, but worth noting

 

[system]

He showed how he is no longer a halfback in any stretch. Identical play situations by he and Lui. Lui holds and perfectly holds the pass for Heighno, Moltzen runs himself and his centres out of space and gets tackled. Lui also put him through the hole with a perfectly timed delayed pass.

He had his best game at the back last night. Still not overly concerned he is going though. Whoever comes in be it Grant, Reddy, Humble or someone else they have Marshall, Lui, Farah & Heighno to run off.

Hope he keeps improving all year though
