Brooks and Moses played all but 1 game in the halves together.
Moses picked up more of Farah's kicking the Brooks did.

There was Moses mammoth 616 kick metres in round 11. That was the 8-0 game against the cowboys over origin. Given there were basically no tries scored in the match there was a lot more general play kicking from everyone.
Lachlan Coote kicked tor 482m in that game too.

But even ignoring those kick metres and the 2 tries in round 15, Moses still averaged 44. He just does a lot more with no Farah. Average touches per game went from 36 to 52 in those games. It was less than a third of his games, but generated half of his attacking stats for the year.

Halatau was starting hooker in these games and that I'm not sure having Cherrington there will have the same effect.

It's honestly a super scary proposition. Do you think having a weaker forward pack will affect him as well though?

Well in someways a wek forward pack isn't terrible as it means more big kicking.

The concern is if the Tigers are getting flogged, and spend all their time under the posts and not playing football. But I think they'll go OK to start the year.

Would certainly stuff me up compared to the pack if Moses bombed and JNiko went well.

As a winger?

I understand he might get first crack at the goal kicking, but surely he'll be pretty limited in general play

what a mess this knights pack is to pick.

O i was under the impression he would be a starter for you, so you would have him as well as the likes of Jniko and Taylor/hastings.

Then if he bombs and one of the other three goes bang you haven't really missed out on anything, other then moses being turd

Got to see increase in value right? Should do most of the kick metres at Titans? 

That's the main differential I'm seeing vs last year role at Knights where he shared metres with Mullen.

Arrgh, the closer we get to TLT and then lock out the more nervous I'm getting. So many decisions lol. my main decisions are:
FRF: which gun MCooper, Tolman, McGuire
2RF: which gun, Taupau, WGraham, Merrin
Half: Which mid: Roberts or Reynolds or now Moses as Milchy has pointed out.
