| Unfortunate for Hall, he is one of our best attacking options, however against Wigan he was hopelessly exposed by a lack of sliding defense, he simply stood no chance. My biggest worry against Wigan was the way in which our pack was dominated, Dowes was hopeless, he was dominated in nearly every collision, Cusack was ineffective, Radford was a penalty machine, and o'meley was fighting a loosing battle. Definately time for a change in the pack, Moa in for Dowes for me.
Looking at the stats, and taking them with a pinch of salt, Dowes and Cusack are by far out least effective forwards, Cusack makes the fewest metres per carry, at less than 6, as expected Lauaki (9.09) and O'meley (7.69) top the list, in 3rd place is Moa with 7.38.
To add to that Dowes has missed 10 tackles and made 142, thats a miss every 14.2 tackles, fitz tops this list by a street mile with 265 tackles and only 5 misses (53 tackles/miss), Radford is next with 37 tackles per miss, then Yak with 21. In terms of penalties, Radford has conceded the most, at 4 in 5 games, fitz 5 in 6 but with many more mins, and manu with 4 in 6 games.
Suffice to say that in terms of going forward, Dowes and Yak are bottom of the pile, however, Yak can and does at least find he knees and elbows and get a good, quick PoTB. Added to the style of play, means that we make few metres, when Yak and Dowes are on, and we struggle to dominate teams. Moa in!!!

| In context of last nights game I think it's clear that the decision to play Whiting over Hall was justified. Whiting has a great game especially given the disruption to our backline. The game was a real slog in horrible conditions, in short the sort of game that does not suit Craig Hall.
