He brilliant, nice foot work.
Rather see his highlights from Reserves last season. Going good against school boys is fine but how's he go against men.
Its a hard one to judge at present, he is quick and slick and he has good touch.
His ability to defend will show up to the coaches in the preseason process, he is really a case of huge natural ability and many of these kids fit that category, when push comes to shove how bad do you want it becomes the test ?
I have only seen the kid in highlight packages but the reports I got back from last season is he really struggled in Reserve Grade defensively. These little blokes all have that problem at the beginning unless they are physically advanced.
Take a guy like Joash last year, when he went to first grade, (he played a lot of Reserve Grade} he knew how he would be judged! we all knew he could run and play but he put his shoulder to the wheel and showed he could tackle. I think that is why we have endeared him because of that. Moses was not that different when he came to grade and when he finally arrived at Parra, he knew that everyone would judge him a turnstyle in defence, he put his head down and was privately coached to where he is respected defensively. No Andrew Johns or Dyllan Brown defensively but more than adequate.
Natural body strength plays a big role when you back up defensively every week, I believe trying to do that caused Moses his injury problems. I think the current coaching staff realise that and the are retraining him to be more a cover defender and much more a backup support to the forwards who are making breaks and don't have that type of support, he can provide.
If people think back to Lockyer and Thurston they tended to have minders in their forward pack, Tony Carroll comes to mind in the Broncos protecting Lockyer! We need to do this with Moses to prevent more injuries.
Agree, it's probably expected that he struggled defending in Reserves first year but it's how he went about the task I'm more interested in. Same with attack. How'd he go about things? That's what I'd like to get a gauge on.
What are our coaching boffins seeing in him that led to him being anointed as the chosen #6 for 2027?
