on report for a chicken wing tackle

That's the one mate, was it on moa or lauaki?

I was tired!

i only saw after watching the game when i got back in

Doesn't come across on sky but those at the game will have seen it. Sam was looking for the ball nearly every play the ball except when he was playing it. Running to take the ball all the time he was on the pitch, he has got bags of enthusiasm and that is something you cannot coach.

No, but it won't be long, after more first team appearances that Agar will have coached it out of him.

Great game from Moa, just what we have missed in games when Shrek oes off, if he doesnt play next week it would be a shocking decison, 2nd best prop by far. Potential to be a amazing prop, great going forward, good offload, but most impressed with his defence and workrate.

Was very critical of Lauaki before the game yesterday but thought he had a very good game, good work rate, runs and defence, much better disapline also, just that bloody kick on the 2nd tackle, but much better from him.

I know people are critical of Radford but for me it has got to be Dowes, he showed again tonight he offers nothing for the team when he's on.

Cusak is nothing more than steady as well.

Ther'll be no props available so we'll end up with dowes and radford for the next 2 years

there's a few, wether we can get them is a different question.

I said that last night, Cusack isn't doing the things he was renowned for; quick play the ball and staying upright, he's also missing tackles, a season too far imo.

Sam played like a man possessed. "Play it again Sam"

Dowes and Cusack just trundle it in. I don't think either of them could break wind never mind break a tackle.

As I said on the MOM thread, if he gets dropped after that he might as well find another club who can see his true value.

They do have a tendancy to fart about.

He played like that at Headingley and was immediately dropped for the cup game by our buffoon of a coach.

I know. Baffling, isn't it?

Radford, Cusack and Dowes aren't fit to lace Moa's boots after a show like that. What he has to do to stay ahead of the 'Watercarrying trundlers' i don't know. Every aspect of his game was so much better than any of the aforementioned. Saying all that Agar will probably drop him at the first opportunity.

To be fair Sam Moa is a waste of a quota spot not because of his ability but purely and simply because the coach doesnt play him and so far this season he has spent most of it in the stands so the coach is wasting the spot.

Another good performance from Sam following on from the one he put in at Headingley, sadly no doubt next week he will be sat back in the stands when Radford is classed as fit.

Baffling that not only does Agar not pick him but when he does he gives him very little game time.

Took 30 minutes last night to interchange one of our props.

Moa had a great game last night. If he gets dropped next week then I am absolutely clueless as to what he has to do to retain his place.

If Radford gets fit who knows what Agar will do.

If it's true O'Meley played through injury today, it may be more beneficial in the long term to bring in Radford in place of Mark. We have quite a sp fixture list in May due to being out of the cup but a very tough June. A fully fit O'Meley would be vital.

I'm not sure Radford is back though. I'd maybe even leave O'Meley out next week to recover which would give him a good break with us having no fixture the next week.

Unless Agar thinks the break is all O'Meley will need and he can play through the pain next week.

Looking at our injuries it may be a good thing that we're out of the cup.
