Another monumental stint for them today 60+ mins each. Unless Hull find someone else who can give them good minutes these two will surely end up with burn out come the business end of the season.

On a positve note I thought Kingy did ok today and will be better for the run out but outside of him i don't see anyone else capable of doing 15 mins or more.

Completely agree. We're short on props and I think it's beginning to tell already TBH.

Edited.

Cusack only played 40. Went off after 20 and game on for the last 20. Thought Dowes played about 70 did he?

As you say though, we need to spell them better, King looked lively but short of practice and Moa just cant give the time. We looked lost after 20 mins when Cusack and Radders went off.

Why was Thackeray dropped ?

No idea, shocking decision

Eh?

Dowes
Cusack
Thacks
King
Maloney
Moa

Make that 6........Its Agars fault that he uses one that is bloody fit and the Thacks dropping was a terrible decision.

The only thing I can think of is that Thackray is match fit already and King/Moa aren't, and we need 5 matchfit props going into the 4 games in 13 days that starts next Sunday. I thought King looked pretty good, but Moa is a luxury we can't afford at the moment so would have gone with King and Thackray on the bench and Moa in the reserves.

Awful by Agar then if thats true....and Maloneys little toe is more fit than Moa.

Then why not give King and Moa another run out in the reserves?

Not what he's said anywhere, just the only reason I can think of.

Didnt say he had................said IF true.

i suppose its better to be just beat by a poor side than well hammered by a decent side...could be agars thinking?

Wrong attitude.

Attitude of some on here.

According to KCFM, it was to give him more game time

I agree with the OP nobody can knock those two but before long there going to burn out.

I said it last week and I'll say it again, Moa should be nowhere near the 1st team. It's not fair on the other forwards who are having to do large stints because atm all he's capable of is a 10 min stint. Thackray last night would have given us at least two 10 mins. A bad decision by the coaching staff imo.

Who is coaching Moa then? he has been here nearly 4 weeks now? dont see any improvement in his fitness? I can gaurantee that I could improve his fitness in that amount of time and im sure that if he even started on the field for the first 10mins, he could do the last 10mins also. Thats 1 hour and 15mins rest!! Come on get him fit! there's no excusees!

Kingy did do well and he will only get better but for the past 5 weeks on here he has been pensioned off by most of the fans.

Got to agree, he should be fit enough to do 2 x 10 minute spells by now. I actually think he probably is fit enough to do that. The problem is that he doesn't get brought on until well into the second half so he doesn't have time to go off for a rest and then come back on. Our use of the bench puzzles me at times.

I agree Robbo. If he's fit then we need to use him to have the props spelled more efficiently. Dowes was looking awesome at the start of the season but is now stagnating because he's getting too much game time. He needs a break during the game and to put in 50-60 minutes overall, not 70-80. Same with Cusack.

Our "back up" impact props should be used more regularly. Imagine how much of a difference 10 minutes from Moa could have made to that first half on Saturday, in addition to Kingy's spell. It would also have left Dowes and Cusack fresher for the second half.

Bacause when he was brought of last week he got chopsy with the bench and coaches for everyone to see, thats why
