| Then what is Moon's 'natural' position? He started as a halfback in the NRL but was moved when it became clear he could do only one thing well - run. If anything his strengths would suggest full back, but I've no idea if he's ever played there or how he'd go on defence.
On Myler, I think as much as anything its a statement of intent that the need to shake things up has been recognised. I like a lot of the things he does, and whilst he has deficiencies, there isn't a halfback in SL who doesn't. If he sees this as his opportunity to kick on and be the main man, we could end up with a hugely positive signing.

I see what people say about Moon. Love watching him play. From an outsider he sees more ball than Watkins does when he plays centre, yet the best finisher (I believe) in the game doesn't see any ball from him. Also agree he doesn't look natural at half back either. I'd really like to see him have a go at full back, defensively sound and that elusive running game would be suited IMO

Back in the Catalans side today vs Saints. Saints struggling at the moment 18-14 down just before HT, like Wigan on Thursday this would be a costly loss for Saints' top 4 hopes if they don't win today.

| Anybody watching the Catalan game today saw exactly why Richie has threatened to be a class player , but up to now , has failed to kick on. In the second half , he was behind a pack on the front foot , playing against 11/12 men, and yet apart from one class kick to his winger , he was anonymous. He never looked like controlling or making a impact on the game.
He has pace and a good sidestep - where were they against a tiring pack of forwards, with a man less.
Someone is really going to have to give him a massive kick up the - he has the ability , but is going to use it ??

imo he is more likely to support a break than create them on a regular basis good player but top draw half back no but I'm sure he can be part of a very good half back pairing with the right player alongside him
