good second spell, not so good first spell, gave away 2 penalties and looked out on his feet after ten minutes. much better in second half though

Well, Leeds are giving Catalans a right kicking at the moment

That's exactly how I saw it.

same here, Dowes IMO brings nothing to the team, he cant break a twig let alone a tackle, wouldnt renew his contract, and would be very dissapointed if he was offered one!!

Dowes is solid. He makes yards without breaking the tackle. Saw on a number of occasions him doing this today. However, I don't think we should have both him and Cusack. But the likelihood is Cusack will retire at the end of the season, so keeping Dowes could be useful.

He is good as an impact player coming off the bench

I thought that Sam Moa was very good today, as was the majority of the pack, O'Meley, Dowes, Cusack and Manu fronted up superbly.

Just dont see the point of having Dowes, Radford & Cusack in the 17 as they dont offer enough go forward and means we rely to heavily of O'Meley making the hard yards.

fantastic performance, and it confirmed what many of us have thought for a long time, that he can play longer than 10mins, its just Agar chooses not to. Has to keep his place.

I think he played 15 minutes in the 1st half and about the same in the second.

Great performance from him, but a top quality prop has to play longer than 25 to 30 minutes a game. Even an impact player.

Brilliant today, got to play against Leeds (most games if he carries on like this).

I agree the three are very similar. Can't see Radford playing against Leeds unless Fitz is still out. Would be catastrophic to drop O'Meley or Moa.

Not necessarily. In the past Feka has only played 20-30 minutes and completely changed the game.
I'm quite happy with Moa only playing in 15min stints if he plays like he did today. When we have props like Dowes, Cusack and even O'Meley to an extent that can happily to 60 minutes a game we can afford to use Moa is shortish bursts.

Took the ball up really strongly and defended well with one massive hit. Tough for Agar with 5 props all playing well.

Good go forward from Moa . Poor own half discipline again though . Is this contagious ?

Played really well again today, that's 2 good performances in a row from him IMO, should earn him a place for next time out. Dowes has looked a little jaded last 3 games, so maybe him to miss out. On saying that, I would have said the same of Radford prior to today though.

depends on his injury.

Any word on that?

had ice pack on his knee and looked to be in a bit of disscomfort.

Personally i thought cussack had a good game today, does a lot of the hard work. He retires at the end of the season so for me id keep Dowes, hes another who works his socks off in the middle of the pitch were the going is tough. Sam is overweight still and can do short spells, but to replace dowes/Cussack not a chance. Im glad we signed Sam but still has a lot to prove yet. A lot of people thought Thackray was the answer but for me he picked his times when he wanted the ball and when to hide. Im not saying Sam is doing that, but you need a variety of forwards and he would not be able to do the work of say Dowes who can give you 60/70 minutes running at and tackling players like Morley.

moa will get better with more super league game time
not same in under 20s

Good game from him bolloxed after 10 mins but came back on and did a good 30 min second spell. What was he penalised in possession for couldn't see it ?

ganson thought he was lauaki

Keeping the tackler held down

Ah that old chestnut
