Where is Sam ,a team missing 9 players and he still cant make the 17!

We were out muscled by a Wakey pack surely we could have done with 15 mins of Moa-time!!!

what i don't understand is why Agar deemed Moa good and fit enough to play just 5 days after stepping off the plane from Aus...then now he doesn't get a look in!

its like he was the favourite when he was unfit and jetlagged! now he's got fitter he doesn't want him

Agar's absolutely clueless

With all due respect I can see that Moa in time 'could' turn out to be a decent impact player, but for the same cash Agar could have scouted the lower leagues and brought someone in.

Spot on, there is no other way to look at it or come up with any alternate explanation to why he isnt playing, other then the fact Agar is a numpty!

what i mean is any sane coach would have let him settle in to the squad (he's only played 1 NRL game ever) and get fitter, then give him his debut...Agar's flung him in at the deep end and then when he's fitter and we're struggling to even name a 19 man squad he isn't picked!

I agree with you ULL, but his signing is a mistake, in what is starting to look like a long run of very poor decisions at those in authority at the club.

Yeah this has me confused aswell, as soon as he comes over he gets played, but now he doesnt get a look in? wierd stuff and off the topic of Moa, why Berrigan isnt starting is beyond me and i would bring Manu off the bench not start him, he is geting nackerd out thier and does nothing when he is tired surely Agar cant keep Manu out thier all the time.

I think Moa would have more of an impact in the game than Whiting. This int a pop at Whiting since hes an alright player but what is the point in having someone in your side who you dont even play till 60 minutes on the clock. I ant seen Moa do anything wrong and think it is unfair he has been left out.

Manu was out on his feet, yet only our fantastic captain is allowed to be interchanged every 20mins. Berrigan and Manu are our biggest (and some weeks our only!) attacking threats, yet one is bench warming whilst the one who should be bench warming and brought on for impact does the full 80!

If we fans can see it, how the coach doesnt see it is well shocking, Manu needs to be rested he has started and played full 80's for a few games now and he gets replaced by Raddford, hardly an impact change isit, and Berrigan starting on the bench is crazy.

Bit of a contradiction in that though isn't there? Moa was usually introduced about 5 minutes before Whiting was, so their chances of making an impact are the same in that regard.

Moa's a prop who can tire the opposition out though

I agree with the other poster that with King and Cusack out Moa should have played instead of Whiting tonight, nothing against Whiting who had a decent game again though

Some can't, which annoys me. A group of blokes behind me spent the game slagging Manu off for not making enough effort. When I pointed out he's been playing 80 minutes for too long I was told it shouldn't matter because he's a professional. If the bloke behind me was paid that much he'd be able to go out there and work his nuts off for a full game every week.

Personally, I liken it to a boxer taking on 2 others in alternating rounds. It doesn't matter how good and fit he is, the 2 have the huge advantage of a rest. Over the course of the contest it will show and he'll receive a pasting.

But when Radford came back on he went to prop instead, with Horne moving into the back row and Whiting at centre. Swings and roundabouts for me.

it was more of a dig at agars strategies but i think moa would have done more in the game than whiting

to be honest if it was my team Radford would be the first one out the team, but that isn't going to happen, so I've actually stopped suggesting it!

Our team is getting shifted around way too much for me and yes injuries do play a part in that i am sure, the team needs to strike a balance.

Radford will never get droped well not with Agar thier because he is bigger then Agar, and for me Agar doesnt have the minerals to do these kind of things.

I'll be honest, I'm not the biggest fan of Radford. But I will say that the problem is not that he isn't good enough, it's that we don't have the type of players to balance him, Tickle, Dowes, etc out.

And I can't honestly say there's anyone I'd leave him out of the 17 for currently either. I wouldn't have him starting at loose forward but he's definitely one of the best 17 players we have available. That's actually indicative of the problem.
