More chance of me being made next coach of FC than dowes being dropped

All three missed vital tackles in the middle of the park against Wire and Leeds that eventually led to our opponents scoring.

Big Sam had a good game but it wasn't the three you mention missing tackles or at least not just them. Turner was the biggest culprit and very disappointing with Lauacki missing some vital ones as well. Both players had hands on Senior and Maguire at various times and let them just walk through! There were times when other players , perhaps the three mentioned , were trying to cover these busts and probably failing. The main problem though was when we slide we don't move up and when we move up we don't slide. Certainly at Leeds we left Leeds with space in front of them which you just cannot do.

Agar prefers consistancy, players that are consistantly average. I've got nothing against Radford, Dowes or Cusack but to see them all turn out together shows a complete lack of ambition. We will never be anything better then average with Agar in charge, big Sam and our squad deserve a better coach.

Have a look at Sam's stats on the Leeds board, top class.

Player: Metres - Carries (MT/Carry) - Tackles - Misses (Efficiency %) - Errors - Penalties
Peter Cusack: 36 - 9 (4.00) - 17 - 1 (94%) - 0 - 1
Mark O'Meley: 91 - 13 (7.00) - 19 - 2 (90%) - 1 - 0
Willie Manu: 74 - 14 (5.29) - 9 - 1 (90%) - 2 - 0
Epalahame Lauaki: 87 - 15 (5.80) - 21 - 3 (88%) - 0 - 0
Lee Radford: 79 - 16 (4.94) - 24 - 1 (96%) - 0 - 0

Ewan Dowes: 94 - 15 (6.27) - 13 - 3 (81%) - 0 - 1
Sam Moa: 93 - 12 (7.75) - 10 - 0 (100%) - 0 - 0

imo big sam has to play on saturday, and them stats dont lie, top class.
imo its dowes or yak to drop out and i prefer yak if im honest, so drop dowes and give moa the chance he deserves, great imact prop.

Season too far for cusack IMO. Drop him on Saturday

Not a fan of Cussack but this may be the game he craves, had his best game for a long while against Rovers and his best game ever for the club was the semi win over Wakey.

Dowes defense was awful on sunday, cant believe he only missed 3 to be honest, we were commenting on it a lot on sunday.

Agree completely with that.

I would drop Dowes, he looked out of sorts on Sunday.

Fully agree.Would be a travesty if Moa is the prop to miss out on saturday.

If Moa misses out it just adds more weight to the anti Agar supporters. Unlike when Whiting was dropped to the bench after having a MOM performance it was understandable due to Tansey being our specialist FB. Dowes/Cusack are just props at the end of the day and if another prop is doing a far better job then it is just common sense to drop one of the ones not playing so good.

We looked a much better outfit when he was on the pitch and he was always looking for the ball as well as doing a grand job in defence. Previously i agreed with Agars insistence on playing Dowes/Cusack/Radford but Moa has certainly proved he deserves to be in the 17 on merit alone.

Would add massive impetus to bring him and lauaki on together late on in the 1st half of matches

surely on the bench
