Moylan finds a groove

AS far as first impressions go, Matt Moylan knows he and Cronulla didn’t hit it off straight away.

But the Sharks recruit is finally blossoming at his new club after steering them into the NRL top four for the first time this year with easily his best 2018 performance in a romp over Newcastle.

Moylan played a hand in seven of Cronulla’s nine tries on Sunday, including five in a dizzying 14-minute spell that showcased his entire attacking repertoire. His six total try assists more than doubled the five he had over the opening 11 rounds for the Sharks.

“I wanted to hit the ground running,” he said.
