As a serious question to rovers supporters,do you think that justins judgement in team selection has been influenced by personal issues,players he didnt pick (gene,fisher,aizue) are supposedly all rumoured to have clashed with the coach in recent times,i personally think that two of the three mentioned merited a place on the bench given the impact that two of yesterdays substituted had in the game (quite poor),think a bit of enthusiasm off the bench could have swung the game in KRs favour when the match was balanced at 18-16,i know that the buck stops with the coach and he stands by his decision but think he let his heart rule his head on this one...

Makka - has personal issues by all accounts and to be fair has been off form for a while
Stan - has run his course. His body couldn't handle the wakefield game so to risk a squad place on him in the do or die game was too risky.
Fisher - hindsight is a wonderful thing, but going by morgan's word he said he aimed to have a utility player on the bench to be able to rest murrell and fitz, and chaz replaced jake in the centres at one point. So this was a good thing to have, but only the gods will know if having fish in the side would have made that difference

He certainly has a history of this, Cooke etc. That coupled with his outrageous ego and petulance would indicate it to be true.

I agree.
I could not beleive he went into the most important game of Rovers recent history without a specialist hooker. Utter madness imo.
Motto of the week -
It is the way of the weak to secretly bleat to those in authority rather than fight their own battles.

If Fisher had have started he could have had a utility player on the bench....Fitzhenry.

True, happens at every club though, I remember Mcrae suggesting Hull FC had a cancer within the clubs playing staff, five years on Paul King has only just been told he can leave.

I'M SURE THERE IS NO CORRELATION BETWEEN THE FACT THAT THE FRONT RUNNERS FOR THE 2009 MEDIA WHINGING AWARD ARE FROM GATESHEAD AND HULL FC, FORMERLY THE B*ST*RD-TWINS OF ONE OF RUGBY LEAGUE'S LOUSIER IDEAS.
