Cusack's always been smart enough and had the technique in the tackle to land on his knees and elbows, which enables him to get a quick PTB. I don't recall him being picked up and put in his back much if at all. He's excellent at what he does, which is work hard, take the ball up and attract plenty of defenders as well as putting a boat load of work in in defence. He's a quality player, but not a 'showy' or spectacular player. He'll do for me.

| Never going to be any quick ptb's against Hudds. I too dont remember being put on his back every time he ran the ball in. The main reason he doesn;t break the line often is because of the amount of tacklers he attracts.
Talking of attracting tacklers Lauaki played a massive part in Halls try running in and drawing two Hudds players in only to slip out a pass at the last second giving us the chance to carry on the move and score. The fact he made such an impression in the Saints game means teams may target him but if he draws in extra bodies it means more space out wide.

| Correct team choice last night for me and, unless I'm very much mistaken, we won with that team. I'd play Moa next week though, definitely. I might even consider giving Turner and Washy a run out.
However, I don't know if it's too soon to start rotating a winning team.

| Maybe give Radders a break especially if he has any niggles from the knock he picked up last night. No need to play players who are carrying any injuries especially at this stage of the season.

| actually cusack dint get picked up and dumped but alot of the time he ends up on his back and results in him playing the ball slow. i just think we need to pick 2 from radders, dowes and cusack and whoever playing the best then will be in the team and with radders not been 100% then cusack will be in the team again most probably. then dont forget fitzy acts like a prop in the things he does defending and attacking down the middle tighing things together ect.

I have to completely disagree. Perhaps last night with a referee that allowed the opposition to work a player on the ground it happened a little, but Cusack is one of our faster players at the play-the-ball - especially when you consider he usually has taken two or three men with himin hte tackle.

So do I, one of the things Cusack does so much better than our other props is get to his knees, though it does seem O'Meley is good for a quick ptb as well.

Thank you Adam Pearson for giving the faithful hope: |

good post, the Yak is a quality player. you cant have 13 omeleys on the field. you need grafters who take the energy out of the opposition. anybody who knows anything about the game knows what he brings to the team.

For me him and o Meley interchange makes the oposition worry.'"
You must of watched a different game to me,Cusack never stopped,his workrate and defence were immense,he puts his body on the line everytime.I think every team needs a player like him in their team.Maybe you should watch him sometime to really appreciate the amount of work and effort he puts in.

| im not saying we need 13 omeleys on the pitch but 2 grafters with fitzy acting like a prop we need no more.
2 impact props omeley and moa, thats our front row sorted. tickle and manu outwide who both can play long minutes but better to be spelled to see the best out of them. lauaki coming on and adding impact OUTWIDE. i hope ive made myself clear in what i think is the best balance for the team and the pack which is surley 1 of the best in the league

People like him because he takes the ball up with venom like a prop should. Thats all fans expect and he already delivers.
For me he should replace Dowes for The Crusaders game.

No if anyone it should be Radford who took a knock yesterday. I cannot fault Radford/Dowes or Cusack in both games so far although Crusaders is a game to give Moa a run out in what should be one of the "easier" games and that is said with no disrespect to Crusaders.
