wonder if Sam will do a topless spread nah his moobs will embarass some of them girls

Hope he stays with us, desperatly short of specialist props nevermind good ones. If Lauaki is in second row then we lack any impact at all with the the front row. Cusack resigning was an awful mistake. Offers nothing different to Dowes in my opinion. Cordoba showed a lot more in the games he has played than Cusack did this season.

Cusack is a far better prop than either Dowes or Cordoba imo. He;s proven that over a very succesful NRL career.

For me the biggest mistake we keep making is keeping Dowes. He;s been out of form for a couple of season. He noticed that himself during the last offseason and went to do some specialist training which the club cut short.

Cusacks size alone means he makes more yards etc.

Agreed. Cordoba showed good effort and is decent but was also error prone. Cusack is a very good prop with plenty of leadership experience and highly professional on and off the field. Like you I think the days of Dowes being the 'first name on the team sheet' are long gone and I see him as similar to Richard Horne in that he needs to up his performance level next year.

I'd say that Cusack would of been a better prop in his prime but is now on par with Dowes and behind Cordoba. Don't how you can offer someone of his age a contract when he was currently and still is out injured. No one know's if his wrist will stand the pressure. Very bad resigning in my opinion.

Cusack is better than Dowes and makes fewer mistakes than Cordoba.

Spot on.

I think you are right in that Cordoba showed effort and aggression in a very poor Hull season. That is maybe why he is thought of so well. If I were critical I would have to say he made far too many handling errors to be kept on as a non fed trained player.

I don't think either of Cusack or Cordoba warrant a quota spot but if I had to chose I'd go for Cordoba.

Cordoba = knock on specialist

IMO it was a bad decision to renew Cusack's contract and if it costs us big Sam for the seasons to come, then it will prove to be a terrible decision. However, I do rate him as a decent prop if not anything spectacular.

I think that he is a better prop than both Dowes and Cordoba but he just isn't worth a quota spot when we could have made an effort to sign a half decent British prop to do the same job, probably on similar money.

Dowes, for me, must be playing his last season in the B&W unless he somehow has a blinder of a season which is very unlikely.
