What's people's opinion of him so far?
I know we are only 6 games in and, he has'nt been getting a lot of game time but for me he is'nt making the impact like he used to.
He needs to start running hard and straight again and stop trying to step when running the ball in.

totally agree

He had a lot more game time that Sam Moa did last night!

*I assume Moa isn't fully fit yet, when he is he is going to be one hell of a player!!

Thacks is Thacks - Hits the line and bounces off and then comes again. I like him as at least he draws defenders in. He's not a conventional prop.However I think Agar's love affair with spelling Cusack and Dowes could hurt us. Moa bust tackles in hs 10 min cameo. Why not throw him in 10 mins before half time when teams are tiring???? If Lauki gets his Visa is agar only going to give him 15 mins... and then what of Sam??? Imagine if Crocker does get his Visa. Despite a phenominal pack- who do you start and who do you drop????????

If/when Luauki gets here, he will be on the bench and Moa won't get as much game time. I would imagine that they playing him now so they can get to see more of him then they would while Luauki is here.

I am sure Halifax would gladly take Thacks/Moa on loan!!!!
