  Fong, we had 3 tries disallowed in the first half and Moses was part of getting over the line four times in that half. No problem with Moses in attack.
  What's that crowing sound I'm hearing?

Congratulations to Field he must have impressed coaching staff enough to get a crack.

i agree with Fong, we looked good in attack in the 2nd half.

my only concern is obviously how will he handle the big bodies of the cowboys aiming his way?

According to team profiles Field is basically the same height and weight as Mitch so if he brings his attitude and is aggressive with his first contact he will be right.

having said that, the Cowboys travel like prawns on a hot day and their night record is poor, so as always it's going to be up to our forwards to win the battle in the middle....which I think they will do. BA looks like he's gone for a bit more mobility, maybe with the plan to move the Cowboys big men around - offloads- and tire them out.

  Field will be fine. He's got one of the best defenders in the game and one of the form edge back rower at the moment in Ryan Matterson outside him. He helps out Moses, he will do the same with Field.

If you watch Fields nsw cup highlights he has a very good passing game.Hope he finds some space to use that speed.

Good team. Replacing Moses with Field means everyone keeps doing the same job - minimal disruption & keeps the balance. Field will have been training with Johns so good test/opportunity for him. Good selection of Gower - always does a job and gives another fringe player game time.

Not Corrupt Cummins again???? Where is Kane Evans?

  He has great top end speed to, going by what i saw in his highlights.

  Was that like Mark Taylor made of perhaps Tim-Brooke Taylor made son?
