Our attack looked at it's best when Moylan was at full back, and chiming into the line from deep, and very late. It made us very difficult to defend against. For some reason, he's stopped doing that and is pretty much in the attacking line at the play the ball at second or third receiver.

Our best games have been with Moylan, McNamara and Lam at 1,6 and 7. Not sure if it's just coincidence or there is unniticed and unappreciated work that McNamara brought to the team

Last season we had a lethal left edge, with Lam, Reynolds and O'Brien. Am I suggesting Reynolds is better than Moylan, hell no. The jigsaw was better with O'Brien making the extra man. Moylan is a class player and let's face it he was bought as a half-back. IMO it makes sense to play these 3 in the correct positions and maybe we can score more than 20 points in a game.

I would agree, particularly with Armstrong signing, meaning Moylan has to play at 6 next year. Just curious as to why the attack seemed to click much better with Moylan, McNamara and Lam, than it has with Moylan, O'Brien and Lam.

Is it because we played Hull FC?

And Salford and Catalans. In fact, we’ve managed to score 4 or more tries 5 times this year. McNamara played in the halves in all but one of those 5, and the exception was the loss at Salford when we scored a consolation try late on
