‘Better off without it’: Why Moylan is loving life without captaincy pressure | proshenks
The Cronulla five-eighth was thrust into the responsibility early in his career, when asked to take over from Peter Wallace as Penrith skipper in 2016. Given the honour ahead of senior players Wallace, Jamie Soward, Trent Merrin and Elijah Taylor, Moylan became - at the age of 24 - the youngest captain in the NRL at the time.
“I’m probably more comfortable not doing it,” Moylan said. “You just enjoy going out there and playing footy, just mucking around. You can be serious when you need to be. “I do a bit of it, but not too much. We’ve also got a guy like Tols [Aiden Tolman] who has played 300 games, [Andrew] Fifita is over 250. We have a lot of experience there. In a way, I’m just out there playing footy and just doing my role and just enjoying it.”He may not have the “C” next to his name, but Moylan and halves partner Hynes are providing guidance to a Cronulla outfit that is within touching distance of a home final.
“The connection started early in preseason, it felt like we’d played alongside each other before,” Moylan said. “Obviously, it’s not the finished product and we’ve got a lot of work to do, but it’s been good playing alongside him. He’s an exciting player. Nicho has definitely brought some good footy out of me.

GPs can perform cosmetic surgery without any ‘surgical training’Shadow Health Minister Anne Ruston says it's “misleading” how general practitioners can undertake cosmetic surgery “without actually having undertaken any surgical training”. The Opposition is calling for a review into the cosmetic surgery industry after several patients who had horrific experiences going under the knife shared their stories. “It is really quite an odd anomaly in Australia at the moment,” Ms Ruston told Sky News Australia. “Australia’s got every right to demand that this is dealt with as a priority, so the loophole gets closed, so this doesn’t keep happening.”
