Seeing as everyone likes to slag him off on here,il just say i thought he put in a terrific 1st stint yesterday...how long was he on for...30mins? Took ball in well and just tackled owt that moved...also he 2nd spell wasnt bad either.

Well played Dowesy lad.

I thought Ewan had a very good game yesterday. Drove the ball in well and tackled harder than of late.

Not a fan of Dowes, but credit to the lad, he had a great game

All credit, good game for Dowes!

Had a great game yesterday,just a pity he cant play with that conviction every game otherwise people would not moan about him so much

He's improved the last few weeks, yesterday was his best game for a long time, fair play to the lad.

Also gets a quick play the ball a lot of time

agree with what goochie said, since he has come back into the team he has looked sharper and seems to be running in harder

He takes the ball up and does the yards but will never be anything special,He was pumped up for the derby and he did well,is it all a bit too little too late tho

Possibly, but if he keeps playing like he did yesterday I think he'd be worth keeping for 1 last year as 5th prop before Adlous and Bowden are ready to play regularly in the front row at Super League level.

Played very well yesterday but needs to be consistent week in week out like a lot of other players do. If that happens the team's performances become consistent too. Well done to him for yesterday.

Was my MOM yesterday. I've been one of his biggest critics but he was awesome yesterday.

played well yesterday and has done alright when played this year but not worth another deal

As long as he can keep up the improvement then I think you are right

You must have got him mixed up with manu,he was good but manu was awesome

Surprise surprise that people might have different opinions.

Good game from Dowes

nah

its what makes the forums what they are,I am just pleased dowes is improving and hope he can justify keeping for another season

Good to see the improvement, hopefully he can keep it up.

Whatever happens at the end of the season, he's been a great servant to Hull FC. A true professional who has never given less than 100% everytime he's played for us.

Best game in years from him yesterday, but he will need to keep that performance up if he wants a new deal.

Is next year his testimonial year at FC?

If it is then he would surely be willing to accept an even lower contract which might give both him more incentive to keep performing for a new deal and FC to keep him for the salary cap, especially with the 50K rule.

spot on,wasnt too long ago that he swept the board at the end of season awards aswel.
