A memorable man-of-the-match performance on debut for Penrith’s Matt Moylan leaves a massive selection problem for Mal Meninga – a selection problem of the best kind.
Australia won the match 54-12 and were clearly the better side throughout. Scotland tried hard, but the difference in quality was clear.
Moylan had four try assists in his maiden match in the green and gold. Darius Boyd is almost a certainty for next week’s match in Coventry against the Kiwis.
Josh Dugan has failed to be a real standout for the Kangaroos at centre this year and Justin O’Neill didn’t real have a great debut.
Greg Inglis will play right centre against New Zealand next week in Coventry, but that leaves a question mark over the left centre position.
Could Matt Moylan play left centre next week? He played five-eighth in Origin 3 after never playing five-eighth for the Panthers, what about playing him at centre?
Another option is Moylan playing fullback and Darius Boyd playing centre. Darius Boyd has played centre in his early years at the Broncos and he has played over 20 origins on the wing and 14 Tests on there too.
Michael Morgan played centre in the last 20 mins in the Scotland game and he has played fullback and five-eighth. He also comes on and plays second row and lock. Think of all the other fullbacks who have can centre: Greg Inglis, Josh Dugan, Jack Wighton, David Fusitu’a, Jordan Kahu and Jarryd Hayne.
Could Matt Moylan be any different?
