If Dowes, Cusack, King, Thackray, Moa, Cordoba and Lauaki are all fit whos plays prop?
Cusack and Cordoba start with Moa and Lauaki off the bench.

King has been impressive in the last month, I would have him ahead of Cordoba who struggles to hold the ball. Also not sure you want Moa and Lauaki on at the same time.

King had a good 20 mins v rovers but not sure about anything else.
Cordoba has been very good other than the rovers game. Moa and Lauaki on at the same time is exactly what we need imo for the last 15/20 mins of the half.

He would still be playing behind a beaten pack and to be fair he looks good in a league that is poor in quality.
Personally I don't think Thorman has been your sole problem this year, just that he had a couple of bad games and became the scape goat for all the ills and unless he is outstanding he will be the main reason you 've lost games this year.
A half back behind a defeated pack will always struggle even the best would, so an average one like Thorman will look awful. Webster may have offered a better kicking game but still think he'd have struggled and being our ex captain he would have become the scape goat even quicker.
Thorman has lost his confidence and as such looks a bag of nerves and isn't playing well, I personallly think if you'd had Shaun Long in this year he'd have struggled badly. (not a dig at Longy by the way cos behind a better pack you should have next year he'll go well).

I prefer balance myself and as Moa and Lauaki are both classed as impact props I would rather have them paired with a workhorse type prop.

That is something that worry me greatyly, Long is good in a good side, but he is more than capable of disappearing when the chips are down, how will he manage behind a beaten pack, in a side poorly coached, with sub-standard tactics?

Why do you think that we'll have a beaten pack next season?
