Mitch Moses claims he is finally reaping the reward for the tough start to his NRL career, having learned the hard way how to keep his composure. Moses is in the midst of the most consistent season of his career, with the Parramatta No.7 leading all halves for try assists this year. Heading into Sunday's clash with Canterbury, the Eels can stay third on the NRL ladder with just three losses in their first 14 games. But at age 26 and seven years after his debut at Wests Tigers, he knows it hasn't come easy. The biggest difference in Moses is his on-field maturity, with that clearly on show in last week's win over the Tigers. Once known as a side who can collapse, Moses kept his cool after bombing a try just before halftime and letting the Tigers back into the match when they scored moments later. Notably the half didn't overplay his hand in a dominant second half, while still scoring one try and setting up two others in a five-minute blitzkrieg. Long regarded as one of the game's most promising young halves, Moses didn't play finals football until his fourth NRL season. He has taken the Eels there for the past two years, but knows they must hold remain consistent for longer to deliver on their status as a genuine contender.
