I really believe that Cordoba is a very astute signing for this year but I would be surprised if there is any intention of keeping him beyond that. Our need is in the now.

In theory yes. If he isn't a first team squad member then he won't count.

Let's hope so. I know one swallow doesn't make a summer but there was enough in Moa's performance on Saturday to mean that we should definitely be looking to keep him somehow

he'll end up at cas or wakey and come back to the kc and end up battering our players all over the place!!!!!!!!!

Although he played well against Leeds, I'd still like to see more of him before we signed him.

Yes exactly, I remember Mr Hutch having a good game against St Helens and look how he turned out.

Makes you wonder if the knee-jerk signing of Yak will come back to haunt us.

How was it knee-jerk? We had been weighing up the option all season.

It was a sympathy move, and a stupid one.

TBH I think the signing of the Yak had as much to do with player recruitment (in terms of getting the Aussies to come here) than anything else.

I don't believe that for a minute, what might have happened is that Agar saw how good he had been for us all season until he got injured and decided that he and Dowes would be the workhorses and Lauaki the impact prop along with one other signing. Yak gives us better balance in the props than Moa would.

It's just a shame we won't get to see Moa develop at the club. That said there have been plenty calling him all season on here anyway.

Most of the comments I've seen have been people calling Agar for not playing him frequently enough or for long enough.

definately, added with a little bit of banter on his fitness, but overall supportive

Agree. Shame the only game time Moa gets is when our so called 1st team props are injured!

There have been those sorts of comments, including from me, there have been plenty of opposite comments too.

He certainly does not deserve a contract ahead of Cusack based on what he has done this season. He does however look to have real potential but unfortunately he requires an overseas spot and they very rarely go on unproven players.

But I thought the context of those moans was more about why play someone at all when it was only 5 minutes - we might has well have utilised another player (which is a fair point) not, play him more because he's a great prop. On his one real showing (against Leeds) he had a great game - but as I've read on one of these threads today one swallow does not a summer make.

It will be really intresting to see how he plays for the remainder of the season then.

He's young has bags of potential and very importantly will be earning peanuts compared to our more seasoned professionals. The salary cap means you have a scattering of these in your squad or you'll end up with 22 players owing to it's constraints.

He may only cost us peanuts money wise but he's expensive in terms of the overseas quota.

Feck it. Sign him and pay the fine.

me too, i'm a big fan of big sam.

I would be happy with him at the Giants

If we don't sign Moa for next season, (and I don't think that we will) we are fooking idiots !!

He is a big hard running tough ba$tard with age on his side and he will only get better. If the signing of Cusack prevents him from being here, on a fraction of the money, I will be very fooking disappointed.

You do realise there is no way we can sign him now we've announced the signing of O'Meley, we can not sign up any more overseas players.

The only way Moa will get a contract with us if we release one of our overseas players.
