Big Sam : Mon Apr 12, 2010 8:53 am  

Great game from him yesterday and has to play Saturday which means if fitz is back then agar will have to drop one of radford, dowes or cusack. My guess is either sam will be out or he'll go with 5 props (asuming fitz and tickle play otherwise he'll play radfor in the 2nd row and drop burnett)

He should have been in the side from the start of the season. As you say though will Agar have the balls to drop one of Dowes, Yak or RADFORD? I doubt it.

You are obsessed with Radford, he has not been our worst prop this season.

Personally I would say Moa has to play next week but I am not sure who I would drop out of the other three, possibly Dowes or Yak.

How many minutes did he do?

My opinion is that he has been our worst prop this season. We should have got rid last season and replaced him with a younger fitter prop. It's not that I'm obsessed with Radford, more that I'm obsessed with playing Moa for the good of the team.

Didn't go yesterday but glad to hear from all who did that he went well. As happened last season he will get better and better the more time he plays as his fitness improves. If his performance yesterday was good then it would be diabolical if he didn't play next week.

Not sure tbh but he seemed to be on for a while, easily our best prop, gave us some really good go forward.

For me we should only ever play Dowes, Radford and Yak in the same 17 when injuries dictate as they do not offer any real go forward that Moa gives. Yes they do work hard etc but we cant rely on O'Meley and Lauaki for all the go forward every game.

I thought that when he was on the pitch, thats when we started to score tries and have the momentum.

I've not seen him play this year but how is he doing defensively? He looks a similar type player to Feka at Wigan and he seems to get targetted by oppo who make him tackle a lot and eventually find the space around him. Is Moa in this bracket or is he better in that respect?
