Whoever is at fullback I don't think it should be Moylan , its not that he had a nightmare last night but its also the amount of high balls he lets bounce , to be fair though the rest of the team don't seem to do enough in terms of protecting him . Our kicking game is also below par.

His confidence is at rock bottom and it’s showing in his ability under the bomb, upto a few weeks ago he was up the in the MOS charts and the war cry was super Matty Moylan.

He’s really dropped off and regarding the kicking game , agree 100% it’s woefull

Moylan has always been vulnerable to the high ball when under pressure. Look at the dropped ball that led to Waqa Blake's bombed chance, and he's let a number of balls bounce when it's been high and shallow. Unfortunately our kick pressure is probably the worst in the division.

Either he has to not drop as deep, or we need to swap him and O'Brien around and hope Moylan's one on one defence isn't exposed at 6.

KR came with a game plan - to brown-trouser Moylan whenever possible. It worked! Can't believe GO'B wasn't switched there at HT (or before). Wellens smacks as a failure at Saints but even he will have seen what transpired and will apply the same tactic unless the swap is made and then it's curtains for our season.

Though it is to be hoped KR (at home and still in with a sniff of landing The Shield) should see off Leeds but one would expect (even an ailing) Cats to see off FC - unless DB's recent tweets on the latter turn out to be Fergie-esque mindgame masterstrokes?

Bongser hopes that that is Derek's game and not that the benighted IMG have told him that his maths doesn't add up - he has also tweeted about assurances being reneged upon.
