Maybe so but they are all going further forward in the tackle. Lets put it a different way. If Cusack is providing a "huge go forward" how much go forward is Ogre providing?

now that is huge.

O'Meley is just immense.

I thought he had a good game, he isn't going to offer the impact of O'Meley or Lauaki, he isn't that kind of player.

Spot on, it's not always about yardage but making the defence work harder.

like I said

Thats not "go-forward" IMO. As it happens I think his PTB has been slow this season anyway, possibly down to the fact the refs seem to be allowing far more holding down this year.

still near the fastest PLB in the team at present

If you say so.

my opinion vs yours nothing more, but hey your right i concede again

I think it is obvious the majority believe Cusack should be in the squad. I too agree he has done nothing wrong and although he is not a tackle busting forward he makes up for that by taking plenty of men with him and when allowed a quick PTB.

spot on !

My oh my! I wish we could get all those friendly threads back like we had last year





My two penneth, Cusack has to stay in the team and Radford come back in Against Wigan.

Think this year the interchange has been better because we usually have one of Radford or Cusack on the field and they are two of our best defenders.

Last year on numerous occasions after they had both gone of to be spelled, around the same time in a game, our intensity dropped and we allowed teams to get a roll on.
