Moores future could be decided outside the club.



I like him he gives the team a lift and is one of our more talented homegrown products. Not many players can be successful at three different clubs without being quality.



With the signing of flannagahn the writting is some what on the wall but he still has a year of his contract to turn around his off feild antics.



SEcond rowers we have

Moore

Sia

Flannaghan

Dixon

Flannery

Ashurst

Wilkin

Megennis



Thats eight second rowers for two spot. Apart from megennis and Flannaghan allthese are up for contract renewal 2012.



If sia resigns and wilkin re signs. That nay determine the rests future as do we need more than four or five second rowers.

If the rumours are true Moore & Ashurst won't be at the club next year. Megennis is a prop and has been used that way this year, playing loose, so would expect him to bulk up in the off season.that would leave us with 5 second rowers for 2/3 positions and a bench spot.

Not true. Especially last year Jammer put the play on straight from kick off when defenders bunched together trying to win the ruck defensively. The beneficiary is usually Wilkin as he runs great lines.



So if LMS can perfect this and send on of our players through a massive gap off our own line to run full length and win the Grand Final think it may have been worth while

Well thats the big question are the rumours true.



Personally I'dike to keep moore as Wilkin can play loose and as you say megenis maybe a prop. Flannery will retire at some point. So more would give us a class second rower for years to come assuming he is not in jail for years to come.

I agree with all the positives raised on this thread, however Moore needs to show that he is learning or has learned from these brain farts. The concern is starting to grow that he isn't learning.

He isn't. I've commented on various other Scott Moore threads and I have come to the conclusion that others watch a completely different player to the one I do.



I admire his passion, but for me the positives don't outweigh the negatives. I don't think 'aggression' and very sporadic moments of brilliance compensates for all the missed tackles/gaps due to rushing out of the line, reckless penalties despite not playing long minutes and knock ons at the absolute worst moments.



Besides, this 'aggression' that people keep talking about brings less metres per carry than an Andrew Dixon, despite the fact that Moore often plays from acting half back and scoots often.



A player who would give his heart for the cause, but sadly not good enough for Saints in my opinion.

Somewhere along the line, he has become a back rower, and further along the line, we have signed a hooker in Flanagan

. This year, Moore has played in the back row, but only because Roby has played long minutes without a break. If he gets injured, I would much sooner have an experienced hooker in Moore to cover, than one cobbled together from Flanagan, Lomax Hohaia or whoever else we get to fill the spot.

I think we may see Hohaia at hooker with Gaskell/Wheeler into the halves should Roby get injured. Hohaia is a very proficient hooker and has played a good amount of time there this year. I wouldn't be too worried if he was picked there in the place of an injured Roby.

To be fair I thought dixon played well too. His defence was very noticable during that game. Seamed to be in the right place at the right time. Back to his best from last season.

I know Ashurst and Dixon have their detractors as well as their fans, but a lot of the talk tend to be whether [iwe[/i should be keeping hold of all our young backrowers. Possibly Ashurst moving to Salford as rumoured would be a better move for [ihim[/i, giving him more 1st team game time to develop.

thought Scott Moore did ok last night - a couple of wobbles but generally solid - maybe he is what we need ?

It was a typical Scott Moore performance. He was energetic, aggressive, and gave away a penalty for an absolutely unnecessary high tackle when we had Wigan camped in their own 10. It would be churlish to grumble though; he was good.
