[5] Before the start of the 2011 season, Ricky Stuart named Moltzen in a "Blues in Waiting" squad, for potential future NSW State of Origin players.

"[6] Moltzen made a slow recovery from injury, starting from the bench in first games of the 2011 season, saying it took time to get back, "into the old ways, getting tackled and not worried about getting up and, you know, my leg's fallen off.

"[7] By round 8 he had recovered enough to make his representative debut for Country Origin, but was struggling to refind his form from before the injury.

"[10] The St George Illawarra Dragons announced the signing of Moltzen to a 3-year contract midway through the 2011 season, commencing from 2012.

Controversially, Wests Tigers CEO Stephen Humphreys claimed the club had not yet officially released Moltzen from the last year of his contract, labelling the actions, "arrogant and disrespectful.

"[12] Three days later, Wests Tigers appeared to do a backflip with CEO Humphreys stating "The way that it is likely to play out is that he will be going to the Dragons.

"[13] Another two days on, St George Dragons referred the matter to the NRL after Wests Tigers announced Moltzen would be staying at the club.

[14] On 3 November it was announced that St. George Illawarra would not be seeking registration of Moltzen's contract, and he would remain with the Wests Tigers.

It was said that while Moltzen, "appeared to suffer from the speculation surrounding his future, having failed to consistently find form this year, there is no doubt on his day he can be a gamebreaker.

In the second half of the match he ruptured the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) on the same knee that had suffered the injury three years previously,[19] and took no further part in the season.

On 12 August 2015, Moltzen signed a 1-year contract with the Manly-Warringah Sea Eagles starting in 2016,[21] however he announced on 6 May 2016 that he was forced to retire due to a chronic knee injury before getting to play any games for Manly.
