Hoping Moses can make the origin side - think it would greatly improve his game

We have no emerging or future blues ATM but Trey Mooney is the only jumior that we recently lost that I think will come back to bite us

  • Until Mitchell Moses can prove he can perform on big games against top opposition he has zero chance of Origin . He can put in MOM performances all he wants against crap sides  but it's how he performs against the top sides that matters and he has yet to perform against a top side with top side with top players  , yes he won Dally M  of half of  the year but so did Luke Brooks last year so it don't mean much .

    Moses only hope is if  John's can  help him , Moses has never really had a proper coach to help and teach him .  

    • Agree John's will greatly help

      The experience and advice he would get being in the SOO side would also be a big help with game management and how to play big games

      Throw him in the big game deep end and see if he swims

      • How can you you throw him in the deep end I  on origin when he had yet to prove himself against top opposition in the NRL? 

        • They did the same with Nathan Cleary the kid had been in the NRL 5 minutes and Freddy picked him.

          Cleary didn't have the best year and Freddy still picked him.Moses had a better year than he did.

          As for performing in big games Moses carried the Eels last year for the most part and when the team needed a performance from him he produced for the most part.

          All Moses needs is a foward pack to win in the middle more consistently and you'll see more of those big wins against better teams.

          • Coryn tell me when Moses has performed against a top team with top players in his career ? 

            This rubbish about Moses not having a forward pack is hilarious , look at all the games the eels dominanted  possession , dominated field position and had the most tackles inside the opposition 20 yet  still struggled to win because the team could not score . 

            A perfect example is the  the knights game where the eels struggled to win , parra had a record 82 tackles inside the knights 20 yet what did Moses do ? How many tries did he set up with a pass ? With ball playing skils ? He onlly can kick .  What did he do in the semi against Storm ? Parra had 38 tackles inside the storm 20 and  Moses did even get close to setting up a try , when you are inside the opposition 20 your platform is set and it's up to a players playmaking ability and ball playing skills . 

             

            Again in case I missed it Coryn tell me when Moses has performed against the top tesms who top players ?  

             

             

             

            • The Eels lost 11 games last season. In 8 of those matches the Eels lost the key stats of time in possession, completion percentage and possession percentage.

              Let's take that Storm semi for example. The Eels had a completion percentage of 50%. They made 14 errors.

              Now correct me if I'm wrong but did Moses win Halfback of the Year or not? Did he provide the most try assists across the season?

               

              • Super luke Brooks won half back of the year last year so it's not a big deal and dont forget that he won Half back of the year playing in a team with the one of the easiest draws in recent memory , it's not as if he won the award playing top footy against broth top sides and crap sides . 

                90% of Moses try assists came from kicks , a lot of his try assists from kicks were from either the opposition dropping or fumbling the ball into a eels player to  score or a eels player batted the ball back to a eels player to  score , some were from beautiful kicks that were to goof for the defence . 

                 

                Super tell me how many tries did Moses set up with ball playing skills ? By  breaking the line ? by displaying good ball playing skills and throwing a beautiful pass ? 

                 

                Super you fail to mention the stats where the  eels had all the possession , all the field position and tackle after tackle inside the opposition 20 yet still struggled to win , you also haven't told me when Moses has performed against a top side ? 

                • He beat the Raiders in Darwin almost by himself. Scored a solo try with a brilliant line breaking effort. Kicked astutely and I think he got man of the match. Raiders were runners up in 2019. Hope that qualifies.

                  • Nothing qualifies with Fong unless it's total dribble!

                • Fuck off back to the chook pen.  Easiest drays hey. How many years have the nrl given the roosters S leg up with salary cap and ref calls?  2013 you won a gf off forward passes and slowing down  the ruck.  Crook had a leg up his whole career.  You are a dumb wanker now Fuck off
