    Such a fail thread. Lock, IMO.

    He is barely doing it. So it can't be too often?

    You can't compare his time at Brisbane to the Warriors, he was playing centre FFS and only played 12 games which isn't even half a season.

    He doesn't have anything to live up to so is not an underperformer.

    He is performing his role well in the team; he is there to backup Stacey Jones and let him be the dominant play maker. His role is to be the long kicking option where Stacey is much weaker and provide another option as a playmaker. I still fail to see your reasoning behind thinking he is underperforming.

    I can't argue with a +433 points differential. :)

    However you choked, thus proving my theory.

    Dickhead theory = Arrogance and losing to a gutsy, good side like Newcastle.

    Indeed.

    If he has the 2nd most linebreaks, he must be pretty damn good at taking on the line, so you can't blame him for resorting to it when nothing is on instead of passing. Moon has been playing pretty damn well this season, he went to the Warriors practically untested. Sure he had shown glimpses of skill and talent, but it was a big question mark over whether he could keep it up, and imo, he has done that brilliantly. No way is he underperforming.

    He only got me 7 fantasy points the week I out him in my side.

    As far as I'm concerned he's retired.

    Yeah. I'm pretty certainy Matt just put him in there to get a response from me. Knowing him personally, I always watch Warriors games with one eye on how he's going. He does seem to have an error in him each game, but alot of those competing for a bomb or getting a shit pass. He's split the line open numerous times and has also presented plenty of offloads. All in all he's performing well imo. On top of that, he wasn't expected to perform pre-season.

    Well, I just don't see it. On top of what I mentioned in attack, his defence has been quality, particularly his one on one tackling. The one criticism I have of him is that sometimes he actually throws the pass wide when it isn't on so as to not hog it. I don't see the whole run where he should pass thing. I actually see the opposite.

    Most of the Cowboys forward pack have been, ODonnell, Scott, Bolten and Southern have been the very few who have been good, guys like Tronc, Webb have been awful this year, could do so much better.

    Tronc's been better than usual afaic. Making far more meters this season. I've actually been impressed by tronc and I don't rate the guy. Southern and O'Donnell haven't under performed. They've just performed to their usual level. Bolton's been good.
