Would add massive impetus to bring him and lauaki on together late on in the 1st half of matches

Re: Big Sam : Tue Apr 13, 2010 5:47 pm  

surely on the bench

Re: Big Sam : Wed Apr 14, 2010 7:06 am  

Sam should have been in every week coming off the bench to replace o meley at the same time hulk replaces manu very affective to bring these guys on with 15 mins to go in the first half I would say. MOA is young and as our club has difficulty bringing young props through, MOA is our only hope for a long term prop been developed by our club. Dont care who is dropped out of dowes, cusack radford for me they all carbon copies of each other and dont stand out too much for me, dont buy into this high tackle count stuff when all players should putting in a good stint in defence its half the game!!!
Moa brings big impact taking 3 tacklers everytime, DOES tackle, can off load and shows he wants to play. I havent seen him have a bad game since last summer when he has played.

Totally agree and something I have been advocating since before the season even started. I also said that Radford, Dowes and Yak would play most weeks because we have a coach not willing/able to drop one of them. I wouldn't be in the slightest bit surprised if Moa was left out again on Saturday.

That would be a very poor call, Sam deserves a place on Saturday. He punched some real holes in the Leeds defence and we will need that again off the bench at the weekend.

Wouldn't bank on him being in the 17 if tickle and fitz are back

Poor decision if he isn't IMO

Totally agree !! I've said since pre-season that Moa should be on the bench every week but I think that we all knew that Agar would not have the ability/balls to drop one of Radford/Yak/Dowes. This will probably continue on Saturday to the absolute detriment of the team.

FWIW, I think that we'll probably fall a little short on Saturday but if we are going to do it, we need Moa upfront. Didn't we score just about all of our points while he was on the pitch on Saturday ?? We certainly looked a far better side during his two spells.

For me, Dowes should be dropped but whether it's him or his total replica in Radford, the improvement to our squad will be the same.
