Tim Moltzen travelled to St Helens last week and found it so amazing he's going to ask Wests for a release?

Surely too good to be true? A terrible half back, but far better than Lomax at fullback.

What do we make of this?

Why would he be far better than Lomax at full back? He's dreadful.

I'd be shocked if we sign him. He's a pretty good fullback but we've got lomax.

I hope to god we don't go down the hohaia route and sign a fullback to play in the halves.

Give over. He's a great athlete, he'd cut Super League to pieces. Seems a bizarre one though. Why would we be after a fullback when Lomax is one of the few decent players we do have. If it's to play at 6, it's a poor move.

Even more bizarre is why he'd fly to the UK? Surely he could just pick up the phone?

He tweeted this earlier in the week:

"Just arrived safe N sound in Manchester. Looking forward to catching up with a few of the boys and my main man @Mark_Flash_Flan"

I think people are jumping to conclusions here. Don't we have a full quota anyway?

Why would he be flying to the UK in the middle of the NRL season to visit friends?

Oh I get it, you're in the camp that believes 'any Aussie player will cut SL to shreds even if he's crap'

He's an awful full back, can't catch a bomb to save his life

Tim Moltzen is average, not the signing we need.

We have just had the bye and players given a week off, Benji & missus went to Bali...Moltz while out for the season with a knee maybe just went for a holiday, or maybe he killed two birds with one stone

As long as Saints make sure he has a suitable get out clause so he can mention it in his first real interview
after signing for us , don't really see a problem.

With Luke Walsh being the main general. Lomax and Moltzen would float around the pitch just like Wellens and Lomax are doing at the minute.

It would be a very good buy IMO.

No player can be judged by the NRL. Clint Greenshields and Ben Farrar are crap in the NRL yet looked super impressive over here.

And if its true then either Laffranchi or Hohiah is out of here. I personally hope its Laffranchi, do not mind him but we have plenty of second rowers. I'd rather play Luke Thompson then we can have Hohiah on the bench.

1. Lomax
6. Moltzen
7. Walsh
9. Roby
13. Wilkin

15. Hohiah
