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.
