What do you guys think of this.
Im a huge moltzen fan and believe he is the best halfback at the club and his combination with benji both on and off the field is important to the nucleous of the team… however if tim isnt picked at 7 should he be in the team at all?
IMO the other postions he could play are:
Centre
FullbackHe isnt the best fullback option with mckinnon and brown being ahead of him
he isnt the best center option either with ayshford brown daniela and ryan ahead of him there as well
so do we weaken the team by playing moltzen or out of position just to have a player of his class in the 17?As big a fan i am of moltz if he isnt the half back he isnt in the team…
thoughts?
-
Moltzen will be in the team whether it’s at 7 or somewhere else. Unless he’s playing absolutely atrocious football, he’ll be there, and if he isn’t halfback, then I won’t be surprised to see him at fullback.
-
Ryan and Daniela are not in front of him. Moltz will get the go ahead of them if he is going to be a centre.
Brown although played pretty bloody well i think will be the other wing. Tui is still a flip of the coin for us. -
We won 4 out of the first 5 games with Moltz at 1 and Lui in the 7… our only loss being against our nemesis the Roosters. That also included 3 away games and some very short turnarounds.
Going on that, I don’t think there is too much wrong with that combo. Lui only got better during the year.
-
I think Fonz wants Brown at fullback. He likes his size coming into the line. I believe Moltz will be given first shot at 7. Robert Lui will be groomed as the backup 5/8 or halfback. Waters is the hooker option and halfback option as well.

Have to disagree, I’m with T-REXX on that one. Moltzen is too highly rated by the club to be playing anywhere other than FG. At the end of the day he’ll be selected ahead of either Ryan and Daniela if Lui is at 7 and Lawrence or Ayshford are injured.
-
i think if he isnt a 7, he will be the other centre with Lawrence. Ayshford is primed to go to 2nd row.
7 Lui
6 Marshal
5 Lawrence
4 Moltz
what a back line!!! -

what a back line!!!Lawry at wing and Moltzen in the centres,who are you,Tim Sheens.that should never happen.
-
It was mentioned that Moltzen had put on an extra 3kg of muscle which would put him up around the 90kg mark. Not huge by any standards, but bigger than both Ryan and Daniela.

It’s not, although your sarcasm is noted. I’m merely pointing out Moltzen has put on some extra muscle and a move to the centres may not be out of the question if Lui is given the 7 jersey.
If you think Ryan and Daniela have stronger claims to a centre spot than Moltzen, fine. Going back to your original question though, if Moltzen is not at halfback, he WILL be in the side somewhere, if not fullback then possibly in the centres as T-REXX mentioned. And should Tuiaki be fit to play , then I wouldn’t expect Ryan in the starting lineup either.
-
i agree Willow.
Moltz is as important to the side this year as anyone if we are to go that one step further (two if we are to win it) EVEN though Lui did play so much better then we all expected, i dont think he has that attacking flair as Moltz does. Ryan will only be in the team based on injurys etc. Other then that i think Benji is right…
