One thing is for sure. He loves eating scabby Wigan pies.

Re: No way back for Mose? : Sat Sep 19, 2015 7:30 am  

He brought his A game last night. That's why he is critical in big games and was first on every loose ball.

He was there for the team in spades. Even stopped a break with a covering tackle.

He played well last night and he stood up in place of big alex and did a job for us.

Oh man, I'm just watching it back. Is Mose doing a Paul "hold me back" Forber impression when the little scrap broke out. It's actully embarrising

His defence was OK, the problem is we are absolutely garbage in using him in attack, bad passes, flat passes, missing him out (decoy). He's an impact player, why can't we sort it out.

He seems to disrupt wigan when he plays them. It's not his game that puts them off their game, it's the late shots on the hslves and his pretending to fight thst breaks the game up and makes their players target him more leaving room for us.

It's weird as he plays well against the pies and he's mostly awful and lazy for the rest of the year.

The thing about Mose is he knows how to hit precisely the right balance between aggression and fair play.

Opposition fans are always screaming blue murder but when you really look he's a remarkably clean player.

One thing's for sure - it's a brave man that really gets him riled. I used to think Kevin Ward was a tough proposition but I'm not sure I'm backing Wardy in that ruckus.

Do you not think he's a bit of coward and little afraid ? Clubb wanted a toe to toe but mose had a 13st half/hooker holding him back with one hand.

Don't get me wrong he played ok and he did upset them with his niggly antics but he looked afraid of clubb to me.

Errr ... no. I think he's a guy who knows very well that - at his size - there's a big danger that he could hurt some one. Very badly.

And it's a straight red for any infringement. There's not a defensive set when the referee isn't on his case. Any excuse and he's gone.

He has a lazy nature so I should imagine it would take quite a lot to get him riled, if you look at the NRL footage he's not a scrapper but a big hitter in attack and defence. Clubb, Flower + Co would probably lose control first for the yellow or red card because there nature is thugby.
In saying that it would be nice to see the raw animal in him with that power and size, how the officials or disciplinary would see it might be a different matter.

I don't think he's a coward at all. He was first in after the swinging arm. But he's not stupid there is a difference between sticking up for team mates and losing the match by getting a red by knocking someone out. Flower and Wigan generally don't have that control hence last year's grand final.

Be in their faces don't back down but don't go psycho and lose the match.
