| Think he's gone for a bit of fitness on choosing Cusack and Dowes over Moa. Saints are strong up front. And we're going to need the threshold to match it.
Good decision in my mind. Still got the impact with Manu/Lauaki/O'meley/Radford!

| Do people really believe the difference between us winning and losing on Saturday will be Sam Moa?

| Sam is unlucky I thought he showed up well in pre season - better than Cusack did in his game but Agar has to make the calls. Someone said Calderwood isn't injured but it says he is on the site - anyone know any different ?

Cusack by all accounts looks less fit than Moa.

| So with Calderwood injured, the two senior players not selected are Moa and Burnett. With all due respect, as senior players go they are two your more junior. With a nearly fully fit squad this is going to happen every round - not in the least controversial IMO.

I think it's more the case that people want the team to be selected on form and also that they want two out of the four props to be able to add a bit of impact. I don't think there's a place for Radford, Dowes and Cusack in the same team - they're all too similar.

There is no form we've played a couple of friendlies one was against Sheffield the other against a side that lost all of it's pre-season games. We will have had harder training sessions than those two run outs.

Think your team relies a bit too much on Dowes

| Quote Amadeo Avogadro="Amadeo Avogadro"Says Calderwood is injured, but no mention of Moa. Has he just left him out in favour of the 'workhorse' props we've become so used to?
I'd expect he'll select a Whiting/Hall partnership on the right.'"
If Calderwood is injured then that makes the selection significantly less odd. Bad luck for Calders, and also for us as I don't think that Hall works that well as a winger. I agree that a Whiting/Hall partnership would be the best combination.
Moa seemed to have shown up well enough in pre-season to have earned a spot. Maybe as Joe says he's gone for fitness, although Cusack didn't look that fit against Rovers. I don't agree with that tactic but it's not a disaster.
The proof will be in how it all pans out at the weekend.

Correct, we have no idea what is happening in training or any thing, for me it looks a strong squad, I am happy with it.
