Agree with that. Our most pressing recruitment gap is in the halves now. Horne or Long get injured and we're back to square one.

Would agree there what a cracking bench that is.

I think if needed, then Tansey can cover for Horne, and Whiting at FB

I think he has more than proved he is worthy of a new contract, you cannot ask for much more from a `project`. That said, if a classy overseas stand-off became available, i would reluctantly sacrifice Big Sam. Agree with comments about Cusack, i don't mind him but would have preferred the quota spot to be used on Moa.

Si, Sir, I think I have the answer Sir, Is it the same coach that sent Craig Hall to Widnes to get his confidnce back since which he has gone from zero to hero?

And being played in his correct position helps as well.......Just think what would have happend if he had played centre instead of the 1st class centre that is Graham Horne.

Really starting to come into his own now, running with purpose and plenty of confident offloads, this guy should be signed up, we could have found an absolute gem.

He's big, strong, runs hard, offloads well, and most of all is extremely passionate about our club. Why we have not rewarded him with a new contract yet is beyond me.

Small thing of the Qouta rule being cleared up.

plenty of offloads from him too.

Sorry mate but Agar can't take the credit for that, he brought him against leeds because of lack of numbers so to me its not down to good coaching imo

I don't know what Rovers' quota situation is but if we are stupid enough to not retain Moa I can see Justin snapping him up

Don't think they got a chance of signing him tbh.

By the way. Moa's Non fed trained isn't he? and not quota with him been Tongan?

Think there quota is full, unless they release a couple of quota players. I'm not entirely sure though!?

It's good to see one of our 'projects' eventually paying dividends - we've had that many of them it had to happen sometime!!!

Keep it up Sam and that contract should be ready to sign!!

True. I reckon he was being left to rot in the reserves and then be cut loose at the end of the season. I still don't think he will be here next season as I think the club will already have another quota/non fed player lined up

if we are looking to keep moa then its the end of at least 2 of king maloney or thacks given who else we have at the club for next year
o meley
moa
dowes
cusack
radford and lauaki who can both play prop

Agree with all of that. Seems like now the theory of mismanagement of Hall has been shown to be the cack that it was it's now the turn of Moa to be the poorly managed player.

speaking as a Robin fan, I thought he played very well yesterday, always seemed to take 3 players to bring him down, gave some good offloads, and a fair few tackle busts.

But both have been poorly managed

Agreed.

After Hall lost his confidence in the last derby match he was dropped and hung out to dry,agar did nothing to help him get through it and it was only because Widnes come knocking he wentout on loan

as for Moa flew straight in and unfit and was thrown straight in against Huddersfield and Bradford then dropped, recalled against Leeds away and dropped after the knock on and brought back in at home against them as we was down to bare bones

Both nothing to do with good man management

Has no balls to drop any established senior players apart from thorman were he had little option

Indeed. I can't argue that Hall's performance yesterday suggests that his spell at Widnes has done him good but the way he has been treated by Agar this season is appalling. His attacking talent and flair is obvious for all to see and the shortcomings in his defensive game are the kind of things that can be improved by good coaching IMO. Someone joked about it earlier but if anything we should be thanking Cullen for restoring some of the lads confidence that was damaged by Agar.

As for Moa, if we don't keep him I sincerely hope we don't bother with any more 'projects' at least whilst Agar is in charge, after the Maiava debacle of a couple of years ago I was dubious about his signing but he's proved me wrong despite being thrown in and out of the side, if he maintains this level of performance until the end of the season and we don't retain him then Agar has essentially lied to the lad when he signed him.

wrong,like i said he wasnt fit.
