To say Logan Moy has taken his Hull FC chance this year is an understatement. The young full-back has been good value in his six appearances so far – and it’s not by coincidence.
Priding himself on bringing energy to the table, Moy, good on his feet and agile, is at his best when the game is quick game – and that’s what Super League has become in 2026.
On average, play the ball speeds are one second quicker, and that, by the player’s own account, is helping bring the best out of him. The numbers back that up. Moy regularly tops 100 metres a game. He has also contributed to tries, and at the back, remains solid under the high bomb and sticks to his tackles.
Moy also knows he has areas to work on, but so far, its certainly been a case of so good, and there’s more to come. The Hull-born ace is hoping to continue to bring that energy to the Hull side as they look to get out of their recent slump in form – and take ‘advantage’ of a key rugby league change.
“I know a lot of the players weren’t very happy about the changes, but I was buzzing with them,” Moy said on the competitions quicker ruck speeds. “It’s definitely helped me out. It’s a massive advantage for me, keeping it quicker around the ruck and that’s something I look to build my game on.
“The game slowly changes over time and players have got to adapt to it, but it’s a quick adaptation for some of the big boys in the middle, so hopefully that’s where I’m going to get my joy.
“It’s a lot quicker so it’s just trying to adapt my game, but I feel like some of my natural abilities are around that. I like to bring energy and run with the ball.
“I’ll put that as my main thing, but I like to think that I bring the boys on with a bit of encouragement, a bit of energy, when it’s going a bit slow and a bit quiet. Hopefully, I can keep doing that until the end of the season.”
For teammate Harvey Barron, Moy’s rise this year is no surprise, given he is a ‘nightmare’ to get to grips with in training, evading tackles with his speed and agility – and most importantly, transferring it to gameday, earning numerous club Player of the Match awards in the process.
“He’s grabbed his opportunity with both hands,” Barron said. “We were all having a laughing joke about it. He got the man of the match award the other day and I think he’s got it every game he’s played this year.
“We all know what he can do. He’s dangerous out the back. He’s horrible to play against. When I was coming back from injury, I was playing against him and you can’t get your hands on him. Like, you end up taking his head off. He’s nippy out the back and he’s taken his opportunity well, so we’re all buzzing for him.”
Looking to find their groove at Leigh this Friday night, Hull are aiming to respond after a disjointed attacking performance at Odsal – a complete opposite to the 50-10 victory at Castleford Tigers last month.
For in form Moy, it’s a collective thing they need to get to grips with, with the full-back refusing to blame individuals or areas for why the side aren’t clicking right now.
“There were a few details that have been going wrong, not just with the spine, but as a team,” the young full-back said. “I’m not sure really what to put it down to other than just the detail in some of the attacks, but I’m sure the more games we get under our belts, the better it will get.
“It’s a team thing. The halves can bite so far but if the lead runner isn’t timed perfectly, they can’t affect the attack as much. If the back row is not running a perfect line, the half-back can’t do his job, or if it’s not a quick ruck, something is not going to go right. There’s no one to put it onto. It’s a team effort and there are so many factors.
“We’ve had a few conversations about just keeping our structure. There’s always going to be a point in the game where something goes wrong, so just getting back to our structure and keeping it simple, just completing sets – that is the key for us.”
