You've seen how at the start of the season HF and others were bagging the club for having a lightweight pack and then as soon as we get someone with size all they want us to do with them is stick them in the reserves.

Moa played in the world cup and showed he is a 'go forward' prop, stick him on the bench let Dowes and Cusack tire the Hudds pack out and then let Moa have a go at what appears to be a very light Hudds pack.

Having seen most of the last World Cup, I'd have to question that.

fair point

To be fair, if he's only played in one top flight game, I can see the point. I thought he was a little more experienced than that.

Given the fact that he's played at a roughly similar level to Maloney and that Maloney has been with the squad a little longer, I can see argument of the poster who said Maloney should get the nod.

So did Mick Cassidy

(Oh and BTW it was 2 games )

And the end of the day i guess the main point is that if he looks good enough and fit enough in training Agar may decide to give him a go. I dont mind what he has played and where he has played, if he can add to our 17 he gets in for me. If he's not ready yet he doesnt.

Nobody wants to stick him in the reserves. However some of us don't want to throw him straight into an important SL game, less than a week after he has arrived and after 4 months without any rugby, just because we want to see him play. His time will come, hopefully.

You mean like Big Dave T?

I dont just want to see him play because he is here.

If Agar thinks he is fit enough to be named in the squad then i think he believes he is mentally in the right place to play.

Quite rightly so. He has to prove himself first and prove his match fitness and remember he is a 'project'. If he plays on Friday and plays like a donkey the resident airheads on here will be crying Hutch mark 2.



Hull are way too structured to just bring in an inexperienced lump purely for possible impact and 'go forward'. There will be better opportunities for him play than Shudders away.
