I posted this on the 19 man squad thread before the game last night.....

I may be being paranoid here but is their something more going on with Moa this season? Is he really injured?

Judging by his poor treatment in previous games in terms of game time etc I just get the feeling something else is going on. Anyone heard anything?

Someone said last night he wont play again due to his asthma

He will but its not something you can risk, if he isn't completely right then he can't be out there.

It could be as simple as he's had a change of inhaler and it's not working as it was before

I had similar thoughts myself. I suppose when things are as they are, you start to question everything.

the same people that said he'd "declined to play" at Wigan, ie: those that know nothing.

Stated on radio last night that his asthma is quite bad at the min due to the change in weather, and to combine that he has some hay fever issue also.

hay fever in March?????

Another speculation.

thats what i thought also but thats what got stated.

then they are treating us with contempt, he may have rhinitis, but not hay fever.

Its been quite windy lately, which makes it much worse. Believe me!

I'll tell you what isn't speculation.

Moa averaging about 15-20 minutes per game when he has played this season.

Getting dragged off against Leeds because he dropped the ball and Agar going mad.

Away at Huddersfield he was brought on with 3 minutes of the first half left and then taken off after 10 minutes of the second half and didn't return.

Agar now using Tickle at prop for spells rather than give Moa more game time.

Moa gettting "dropped" for the CC defeat by Leeds so that Cusack could come back into the team.
