TBF they are both 'projects' but ones a foreigner so he will take precedence in the pecking order.
Motto of the week -
It is the way of the weak to secretly bleat to those in authority rather than fight their own battles.

It's great that Cusack and Dowes are capable of so much game time, but personally I'd prefer that not to be the norm. It's gone well so far at the start of the season, but over 20-some plus games I think it's a lot to ask. They're not immune from burnout and I'd sooner they maintain their level of performance than simply the length of it.
With Burnett likely to miss out, I'd prefer Lee to keep his place in the side. I would like to see a fourth prop against Huddersfield though in place of Burnett or maybe, just maybe, Richard Whiting.

I'm going with the hope that Washbrook will be available to replace Burnett, otherwise I agree with you.

This is what I don't get about everybody jumping on the Moa bandwagon and building him up though TBH. Based upon a brief World Cup outing (and let's face it, quite a few of the players making up the islanders and home nations squads are pretty ordinary), I don't see how so many can be so sure. The only fair way for the coaching staff to decide who gets first crack at it is to wait until they've at least seen him first hand in training alongside Maloney for a couple of weeks minimum and then hopefully academy outings (when does that start?).
