No Davy Litten?

Fortunately or unfortunately, he seems to be in direct competition with Moy, at Hull FC, and may get a run at Centre also.
 

I have a fear that both will be shoved to one side if Hull sign Sailor.

Forgot about Litten, he is certainly another talent at fullback. Was really impressed with him in the derby, he changed the game.

Moy is too much of a talent to sit on the sidelines IMO. Sailor is better than Moy right now but I think Moy will be the better player in a few years. Perhaps Sailor could play centre or wing.

Yes, Moy is electric.  I think the staff are keen to keep him grounded.   Litten will turn into a very good player also.

Litten is better than Moy IMO. I don’t understand why he’s found himself out of the team this year, I suspect something has gone on off the field but he’s signed a new contract so hopefully a clean slate now and he can kick on

If you remember, he started playing first team, injured in a friendly at Leeds! and then made a few errors in his first few games, then got another injury.  Still only young and needs, imo, a bit more bulk (as does Moy) but he has speed and a very good engine.

Yeah I know he’s had a couple of injuries but it felt there was more to it, when he was playing in the reserves. Rumours were he wanted out when Smith was there earlier this season. Anyway hopefully in the past now. He’s got all the physical attributes to be a top class full back, wing or centre. Has a super slight of hips where he can weave in and out of attempted tackles. Reminds me a little of Trbojevic when he does that

The injury v Leeds was the season before as well

Agree with the body movement too.  Centre is difficult for a young player to handle but he’s doing ok.  I think his best spot will be FB.

Litten is probably a better player right now (not by much). But Moy has far more potential IMO. I’d stick with Moy if I were Hull.

I think Moy is one of the best U20 fullbacks in rugby league along with Kini, Chevy Stewart, Hopoate and Jye Gray.

Aidan McGowan is also primarily a full-back, Don't forget Will Pryce is still only 20/21.

We will see, what’s between the ears will ultimately determine whether they reach that potential. 

Litten has all the physical attributes and has the highest ceiling imo

Could Moy be fullback with Litten on the wing?
