The 20-year-old has played the last four games for the Black and Whites, coming in for the Catalans Dragons game and not looking back.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \" data-tmdatatrack=\"content-unit\" data-tmdatatrack-type=\"paragraph\">Answering the call, Moy has chimed in with two tries but, more importantly, has been safe under the high ball and has brought a welcome energy to a Hull side missing star full-back Will Pryce for the rest of the season with an ACL rupture.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \" data-tmdatatrack=\"content-unit\" data-tmdatatrack-type=\"paragraph\">Set to keep his position for the imminent future, Last, is backing the young star &#8211; who has got the full-back spot ahead of possible recruitment options &#8211; to keep on thriving, praising his bravery, tenacity, and the like.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \" data-tmdatatrack=\"content-unit\" data-tmdatatrack-type=\"paragraph\">&#8220;It certainly is (his position to lose),&#8221; Last said ahead of Sunday&#8217;s game against Toulouse Olympique. &#8220;He&#8217;s played exceptionally well, has Logan. I think the new rules have certainly suited his strengths.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \" data-tmdatatrack=\"content-unit\" data-tmdatatrack-type=\"paragraph\">&#8220;He&#8217;s very, very good at challenging the big blokes who are slightly fatigued through the middle of the field. He&#8217;s brave. He&#8217;s worked extremely hard under the high ball and he&#8217;s safe under those high balls. Although he&#8217;s a little bit shorter, he gets off the ground well and he knows how to come up with a ball when they are challenging him.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \" data-tmdatatrack=\"content-unit\" data-tmdatatrack-type=\"paragraph\">&#8220;He&#8217;s done a really, really good job, and he&#8217;s a good kid, is Logan. He wants to get better. He&#8217;s constantly asking the right questions. He&#8217;s diligent in his preparation and he works hard. He has done a really, really good job. I&#8217;m pleased for him and long may his form continue.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \" data-tmdatatrack=\"content-unit\" data-tmdatatrack-type=\"paragraph\">Hull originally fielded Davy Litten at full-back following Pryce&#8217;s injury, with Zak Hardaker also playing there to effect. But after injuries forced Hardaker to half-back and back-row, Moy has stepped up to the plate.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \" data-tmdatatrack=\"content-unit\" data-tmdatatrack-type=\"paragraph\">&#8220;He&#8217;s got a big heart,&#8221; Last continued. &#8220;He challenges players who are physically bigger than him with his tenacity and his energy and the speed that he plays at.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \" data-tmdatatrack=\"content-unit\" data-tmdatatrack-type=\"paragraph\">&#8220;Today (Thursday) when we&#8217;re going 13 on 13, he won a couple of penalties for his team because he&#8217;s got that low centre of gravity. He moves very, very quick, and he&#8217;s very agile. He&#8217;s been really, really good for us. He&#8217;s a popular member of the group and the coaching staff certainly like him. He&#8217;s got a lot of positives which he brings to the group and I&#8217;m real pleased that he&#8217;s playing so well.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \" data-tmdatatrack=\"content-unit\" data-tmdatatrack-type=\"paragraph\">Comparing Moy to full-backs of yesteryear, Last said, &#8220;Bravery-wise, he&#8217;s like Motu Tony. He carries the ball back like Motu. Motu wasn&#8217;t the biggest, but he was very, very brave.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \" data-tmdatatrack=\"content-unit\" data-tmdatatrack-type=\"paragraph\">&#8220;And one, a close friend of mine, unfortunately, we lost him to illness, which was obviously Steve Prescott. He&#8217;s that sort of mould; he&#8217;s not the biggest, but he&#8217;s brave, gets to the end of things, and supports well. And if he has a similar sort of career to Prekie&#8230; I think Logan will have had a very good career in the black and white.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \" data-tmdatatrack=\"content-unit\" data-tmdatatrack-type=\"paragraph\">The interim head coach also joked Moy&#8217;s small stature might grow inside his head if his form continues.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \" data-tmdatatrack=\"content-unit\" data-tmdatatrack-type=\"paragraph\">&#8220;He might be 10 foot tall by the time he comes out,&#8221; Last, smirking, added. &#8220;He&#8217;s had plenty of praise, so hopefully we&#8217;ve got a giant at the back rather than a little David. We&#8217;ve got Goliath. Hopefully it has its desired effect.&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Andy Last on Hull FC&#8217;s full-back spot and the man to hold the position.
