The 23-year-old left wing, who has also turned out at centre this season, has scored two tries and invariably proven a handful for opposition defensive lines with his line-breaking ability.
"More game time allows me to perform better. We've got a good, young talented backline which helps. The young guys are really confident and vocal," said Moala.
He does admit that the inclement weather has meant the backs haven't been consistently able to show their attacking skills, and he has needed to come off the wing in search of work.
Moala recalls well the hurt Auckland felt after a 42-24 hiding at the hands of Waikato last year, and hints there might be a touch of payback in the air for tomorrow's night's Premiership clash at Eden Park. "The boys will be looking to get one up on them."
Moala is naturally "stoked" to have re-signed a two-year deal with the Blues on Monday. He had several franchises interested in him, but is pleased to be staying at home.
He has also impressed his Auckland coach, Paul Feeney.
"He is one of our linebreakers who can turn games on their heads, so I'm really happy with the way George has come on. He's younger than people think and he's destined for bigger things. It's great he's re-signed for the Blues and hopefully he gets a bit more game time," said Feeney.
Auckland has made just one change from the side that lost 35-22 to Taranaki. William Lloyd is back at lock to replace concussed Liaki Moli, while there are several returning personnel on the bench.
Feeney knows a win would knock Waikato out of semifinals contention, leaving just the suddenly galvanised Counties Manukau as a possible threat.
"Waikato's backs are young, very dangerous and play without fear ... so we've got to be on our game."
