This int a pop at Whiting since hes an alright player but what is the point in having someone in your side who you dont even play till 60 minutes on the clock. I ant seen Moa do anything wrong and think it is unfair he has been left out.
Bit of a contradiction in that though isn't there? Moa was usually introduced about 5 minutes before Whiting was, so their chances of making an impact are the same in that regard.

Moa's a prop who can tire the opposition out though
I agree with the other poster that with King and Cusack out Moa should have played instead of Whiting tonight, nothing against Whiting who had a decent game again though

Some can't, which annoys me. A group of blokes behind me spent the game slagging Manu off for not making enough effort. When I pointed out he's been playing 80 minutes for too long I was told it shouldn't matter because he's a professional. If the bloke behind me was paid that much he'd be able to go out there and work his nuts off for a full game every week.
Personally, I liken it to a boxer taking on 2 others in alternating rounds. It doesn't matter how good and fit he is, the 2 have the huge advantage of a rest. Over the course of the contest it will show and he'll receive a pasting.

But when Radford came back on he went to prop instead, with Horne moving into the back row and Whiting at centre. Swings and roundabouts for me.

it was more of a dig at agars strategies but i think moa would have done more in the game than whiting

to be honest if it was my team Radford would be the first one out the team, but that isn't going to happen, so I've actually stopped suggesting it!

Our team is getting shifted around way too much for me and yes injuries do play a part in that i am sure, the team needs to strike a balance.

Radford will never get droped well not with Agar thier because he is bigger then Agar, and for me Agar doesnt have the minerals to do these kind of things.

I'll be honest, I'm not the biggest fan of Radford. But I will say that the problem is not that he isn't good enough, it's that we don't have the type of players to balance him, Tickle, Dowes, etc out.
And I can't honestly say there's anyone I'd leave him out of the 17 for currently either. I wouldn't have him starting at loose forward but he's definitely one of the best 17 players we have available. That's actually indicative of the problem.
