I'd be pretty disgusted if Moa missed out. Can't remember the last time he didn't play his socks off.

I hope he does go with Yeaman and Hall. But I can't see it for some reason, hope I'm wrong though.

rlSeems like Yeamo left centre and Turner or Whiting on the right if you believe the HDMrl

I don't think this is a story - it appears to be made up from quotes at the forum the other night. For me, it will be Yeaman and Hall (although I'd like to see Whiting there just for the Saints game).

I'd rather use Ogre and Moa to really keep the pressure on down the middle an tire there pack out. We should play to our strengths and see if they can cope.

I agree. He brings that extra power to the pack which gives us an extra edge. 2 workman like props is more than enough IMO.

I also think Moa should play. He has done well in the pre season games and the side should be picked on form.

If we stay clearer of injuries than previous seasons Agar will have to start picking the right team instead of the only team at his disposal. Picking players on form, and dropping those underperforming regardless of who they are is what he should do. If he doesn't then he will lose a lot of support.

Got a feeling Berrigan wont be risked

I got the impression from the forum that Berrigan will play unless he has a set back in training.

I got the impression from RA at the forum that Berrigan will not play and choosing a bench without Moa would be complete and utter madness. If we're going to beat Saints, it will be predominantly in the forwards so we should be using every bit of power and aggression that we have, especially from the bench.

What gave you that impression? It sounded like he was only having problems immediately after the injections but other than that he was fine?

Moa has impressed me in the friendlies, as far as I am concerned he has earnt his place and deserves to be included. This is what we need players giving their all and earning their places, this will make us competative, no room for sentimentality with any players if we want to seriously contend.

didnt agar say that berrigan was fit but didnt want to risk him due to his sugar jabs
