I believe he started with his knee strapped exactly like his comeback game last week. Precaution i reckon.

[quote="Barnacle Bill"]Not only that but Fitz at hooker delivering slow passes to runners is not a good option. The first time he scooted he got a try.

If Fitzy has a strength it has to be acceleration away from the ruck.[/quote]What use would that be; it's not like that's a tactic we use with our wingers? Oh hang on!

Started with no strapping but as soon as he went off physio straight onto knee

I would be tempted to bring Lovegrove into the 17 this week and put Netherton into the second row to add a bit of much needed starch to our defence.

I wouldnt play netherton at all he just doesnt have any go forward, we need Macca against the french forwards

Whats Makali done wrong this time?

but if we are letting Makka go (to FC it seems) do you think we should be playing Nevs/Esders or anyone else you want to name instead; to get them ready to play week in and week out? or do you just play your strongest team not matter what?


Someone in the Stand near me on Sunday said we should play Fozzard & Vella at the same time as they are our best forwards, but then would that leave 2 weaker players on the field at the same time for the opposition to attack?

Hmmmmmmm im confusing myself now with questions i cant answer

I know very confusing but i think we have got to play our best side which would inc macca regarless if hes going or not, we r still paying his wages, wigan had fielden and pally whats his name on the bench and made big impact when they came on, we brought on netherton

think starting vella and wheeldon and using fozzard and hopefully now he's fit lovegrove off the bench dont agree with picking macca he showed nothing in the reserves yesterday

personally i think neherton is like constipation

tries hard and does nowt. if i had my way he'd never wear a red and white shirt again. harsh or not i just think there are far beter in our ranks at prop and second row
