Penrith Panthers fullback Matt Moylan's career heading in one direction Penrith's Matt Moyland is our man of the match after his performance against the Eels tonight. Matthew Moylan makes a break for the Panthers in a sparkling debut. MATT Moylan isn't in the NRL media guide. He's done no TV interviews. Boasts no sponsorships, either. And as for those first impressions the rookie fullback gave league great Andrew Johns? "Well," the eighth Immortal laughed in the opening minutes, "I reckon he could be the sixth member of One Direction." While he may be more anonymous than a police line-up - albeit one all blond hair and perfect teeth - Moylan last night enjoyed the type of debut that 20 years back would've earned him a loooooong night of free booze. Playing a lead hand in three of eight tries - including perhaps the best tip-on we'll see this year - Penrith Panther No.526 also tackled strongly, defused bombs like McGyver, even nailed the last conversion of the game. Asked afterwards about the biggest pressure of his NRL debut, the 21-year-old said: "A few people wanted tickets ... I just gave 'em all to Mum and let her sort it out. Seemingly unknown to all but immediate family beforehand, Moylan quickly had journalists searching the internet for his age, hometown, anything at all really. Providing a beautiful tip-on for the Panthers' second try, where he moved a Luke Walsh pass to centre Dean Whare in one effortless motion, Moylan then busted the Eels' defence open four minutes later to set up another. "This is something I've always dreamed about," the St Pat's Blacktown product said afterwards, adding for the record that his first game had been at age four. I never really made any rep teams until I was 17 but, you know, just kept playing hard, training hard. So on a night when the Eels were uglier than sandals with socks, Moylan proudly etched his name on to that homegrown Panthers production line boasting Greg Alexander, Brad Fittler and Luke Lewis. Penrith skipper Kevin Kingston labelled his 80 minutes "the dream debut" while even coach Ivan Cleary, who usually resembles an Easter Island statue in press conferences, broke ranks long enough to concede "you could hardly fault him." "But Matt's now got another game next week," Cleary said. And once that starts no one will be worried about this one. But until then, this report belongs to Panther No.526. This blond westie who, twice, set utility James Segeyaro up for tries and credited that tip-on to who knows how many games of touch. But as for what to make of Joey's One Direction line? "Ah ... well, I actually played in the halves growing up," he grinned. So I've always been a real big fan of Andrew Johns.
