Over here, a mooring buoy will have a pennant with a loop spliced at the end to go over a cleat. Sometimes I need to extend the length using a strop I made up,which I attach to the existing spliced loop.
I bring the line over the bow roller and to a centrally located cleat. That gives a direct pull and allows some movement.
Once we came across a mooring no one was picking up because it had no pennant. We ran 2 lines to the buoy and back to the boat. One was our strop with a spliced loop which we attached to the buoy,the other was a mooring line we had handy. Both came over the bow roller.
