It doesn't matter how you perform on match day, if you are 1 of Agars favourites your in, Sam Moa doesn't deserve to be dropped was the best prop on saturday so form counts for nothing

Unless of course Agar doesn`t want Moa to show the others up.

Is Cusack from Featherstone as well, only the Oz version.

Quite right ! If I were Moa I'd be wondering WTF I signed that 2yr deal when I could have chosen a couple of other clubs who actually wanted me and would have even let me play.







Best prop at Salford (albeit not much of an accolade) and yet dropped again !!

TBF Agars said on HFCTV he'll play some part over the easter fixtures.

Moa knew when he signed he was one of the fringe props in the side. He will get plenty of hances to impress this season and no doubt a fair bit of game time over the next few games. The fact he cannot play as many minutes as the other props at present goes against him and rightly so.

The man's a plug! I have held my opinions until recently but right now I hope he F**KS off for the sake of our younger players; Hall,Washbrook and Burnett.
I'd also include the likes of Briscoe and Moa.
Please name [iany[/i one of our (us) players that have shown even the slightest sign of improvement while he has been in charge.

Fitzy`s best mate

Agar states on Hull FC TV he will play on Monday

<DDD>[iand quite rightly so[/i</DDD>

Just going to say the same. He explains that he will be playing over the easter weekend, so if not Friday he'll be in Monday.

I'd rather play Moa Friday than Monday.

Agar would rather play him Monday.

TBF, that way Moa gets a longer rest that way anyway.

The game time he has had this season he shouldnt need the longer rest.

I agree, I don't know whether I would have him in Friday or Monday. I'm just happy we are seeing more of him and he is to definitely play over this weekend.

Dead right, Hall had a poor game at wigan and was dropped yet he wans't on his own, there was far worse than Sam on saturday yet he gets dropped just don't think it sets the right example if your given ther chance and perform you should keep the shirt it's then your to lose imo

"All about opinion" - James Rule

what does Dowes have to do to get dropped? when did he last break a tackle?

I appreciate we have to use the full squad this weekend, but surely you start by picking your strongest, in-form side on the friday, then assess the injuries and the performance and choose the side for monday based on that?

there are far too many 'guaranteed starters' at the club IMO

Agree, yet Agar is protected and gets away with it including a new deal thrown in for good measure.

He must be cheap thats all i'll say.

I'd play Moa is both games and would have rested Dowes for this game (think radford might up his game this week against Rovers) and Radford on Monday.

Moa could manage both game as he only plays about 20 minutes anyway.

I'm sorry but that made me spit my tea out - this is living proof that you can't please all of the people all of the time...

He can do the minutes, but Agar descides to only play him for 15 minute stints.

As mentioned on here already, what the foooook does Dowes need to do to get dropped? He is w@nk pure and simple!

Just shows that Agar as a head coach is very lacking as he has wasted a quota spot by having Moa sat in the stands for 75% of the games so far. I'm sorry but having Radford, Dowes and Cusack who are all just workhorses with no impact in the role means we have no impact in that department other than O'Meley.
This for me is another sad reflection on Agar as a coach and looks like its going to be another season of dross and poor rugby.

I wish, it now looks like 2 and half seasons.

completely agree with all of the above. we have zero go forward once o meley goes off after his first stint and bringing on dowes and cusack hardly brings impact does it?

for me radford has been the worst prop (even including Moa's short stints) all season bar one game

he breaks the line just as much (or little) as cusack and dowes but cusack always finds a quick PTB and dowes at least finds his front sometimes. with radford the amount of penalties he gives away is unacceptable and he always gets put on his back due to the fact he turns in the tackle just to make a few extra yards but this allows opposing teams an easy slow PTB.

If Agar insists on playing cusack, dowes and radford O Meley should start from the bench so we have some impact in the prop department. If it were me i would have O Meley and Cusack starting with Dowes and Moa on the bench.

Life's nothing if not predictable at Hull FC these days.
