Cusack's always been smart enough and had the technique in the tackle to land on his knees and elbows, which enables him to get a quick PTB. I don't recall him being picked up and put in his back much if at all. He's excellent at what he does, which is work hard, take the ball up and attract plenty of defenders as well as putting a boat load of work in in defence. He's a quality player, but not a 'showy' or spectacular player. He'll do for me.

You must of watched a different game to me,Cusack never stopped,his workrate and defence were immense,he puts his body on the line everytime.I think every team needs a player like him in their team.Maybe you should watch him sometime to really appreciate the amount of work and effort he puts in.

im not saying we need 13 omeleys on the pitch but 2 grafters with fitzy acting like a prop we need no more.
2 impact props omeley and moa, thats our front row sorted. tickle and manu outwide who both can play long minutes but better to be spelled to see the best out of them. lauaki coming on and adding impact OUTWIDE. i hope ive made myself clear in what i think is the best balance for the team and the pack which is surley 1 of the best in the league

People like him because he takes the ball up with venom like a prop should. Thats all fans expect and he already delivers.

For me he should replace Dowes for The Crusaders game.

No if anyone it should be Radford who took a knock yesterday. I cannot fault Radford/Dowes or Cusack in both games so far although Crusaders is a game to give Moa a run out in what should be one of the "easier" games and that is said with no disrespect to Crusaders.

i said it before the saints game that our forwarsd and bench forwards where all to simillar except hame and sam , they do offer something different but cant complain too much as its 2 from 2
