Which is why he should be in the reserves until he can. He looks like he'll be decent when fit, but we can't carry him in the first team whilst he gets fit.

He should never have been picked until he's fully fit. Dropping players that have done a full pre-season and are miles ahead on fitness isnt on.

He's that fat he'd open the can of whoop ass and think fook it im gunna eat it myself

we all know that so why doesnt Agar realise that, playing him and not Thacks doesnt make sense

Little of what has happened the past two games makes any sense. There needs to be a big improvement both in terms of what happens on the pitch and decisions taken off it. Preferably before Good Friday.

I hate derby games at the best of times, but this next one will be more stressful than most.

Why do you p-icks give time of the day to these dobbin trollers I will never know just ignore the B...s try trolling on their board and yor out!!

Bingo...........needs to go to the reserves..........Maloney must be wondering why he botherd.

pretty obvious why the guy cannot play longer. he is a fat f****r.. simple as

Why the hell did Thackray play in the reserves and Moa play in the first team?? Makes no sense at all!

Don't get me wrong I like Sam Moa and he is a great prospect if we get him fit. Just do it in the reserves...

he may have excelled in training??? were you there????? so dont judge the coaches decision until you are the hull fc coach

Bolloxs

Deary me.

Yeah, maybe he even lasted 20 minutes.

I don't give a monkey's how he's training, if he's not transferring it to the pitch and is not fit, he doesn't deserve a place ahead of someone who is.

funniset thing ive read on here for ages.

It's clearly escaped your attention, but the whole point of this forum is to discuss things like that. If you don't think that's appropriate then you're probably better off someplace else.

Agreed, ready or you aint. And he has had his chance of in between.

That said, I believe he is ready to do more and our tactics are wrong

Agars decision to play Thackray in the reserves 'because he is short on game time' (his words) is a contradiction in terms, ffs GIVE him MORE game time from the bench. The man is fighting fit and Agar still gets his bench wrong by dropping Thacks and playing the dumpling.
Sorry to go against the grain here, but Moa hasn't done anything more tonight than he did against Huddersfield, and I dont think he will, hope he proves me wrong.

Reminds me of Fat Feka at Wigan, just the poor mans version.

I know he is regarded by Agar as a 'project' but unfortunately for Moa comparisons are always being made with Hutch Mavis.

The one year deal may be to keep him hungry , but that ploy did not work with Hutch either -in more ways than one.

If he could give us that sort of impact off the bench, I'd be made up. I think he stands a good chance of doing so when he's fully match fit.

To compare him to Hutch at this stage is not remotely fair, in my opinion. If he's still only capable of 10 minutes a game in July and August, let the comparisons commence!

Bingo.

Surely it would be wise to play him in the final 10 of the 1st half and another 10 min stint in the 2nd.

Ive never played in Super League, but after watching rugby for 25 years, I can say that any pro rl player who is given a bench spot MUST be fit enough to last more than 10 minutes. If I was Thacks I'd be well pi$$ed off. Dowes should ask for some of Moa's wages for the last few weeks!

Agree think the interchange has been shocking tbh, regard Moa firstly it is a waste to just keep him on the bench till the 2nd half, surely it would be far better as you said to bring him on 10 mins before the break then giving half time and a short stint at the beginning of the 2nd half and then to come back on last 10 mins.

We are playing Dowes and Cusack far too much yes they can play long periods but don't bend the line we need to rotate the impact props alongside them more.

Washbrook has to come in at 13, Radders is not a 13 should be in the 2nd row to start with Manu coming off the bench, although in saying that Manu has been superb the last 3 games despite us just passing him the ball and he does all his own work, how desructive would he be if we actually tried to put him through gaps coming from deep.

And our inability to score from inside our opponents 10 is shocking, how many times do we have a forward drive the ball in off the dummy half is shocking

Agree totally with all that.



Disagree (last night excepted). Our points for total isn't that bad and most of our tries come from 20m in.
