very well said mate. jk has worked miracles with what he has to work with, both on and off the field. speak to any of the players and they will tell you. i do agree with what he says about playing players out of position, but as far as kear is concerned , the best thing that has happened to wakey.

no al he didnt i am just stating what john kear said at the begining of the season



and although latu may or may not have had a injury why did he warm up he was in 18 so he must have been prepared to play

Possibly the mistake JK made was in his original statement/promise. It was a big statement to make at that time, imho you have to asses the needs of the team at that time and react accordigly, which is what JK has tried to do. I think in an ideal world he would have liked to stick to what he said.....................but it's not an ideal world is it

Apparently it was what the players wanted ie every player needs to earn their place after injury via the 'A' team. However this 'rule' seems not to apply to all players.

I'm pretty sure that if we have a hooker, for example, coming back from injury and teher are no other hookers available, that the rule doesn't mean he has to play someone else!

I think if there is someone playing that is earning his place then a newly fit player does not automatically take his place, but form and ability still apply in the decision of who to pick.

I agree with your statement and its context. However there are players in the squad who have been out injured more than once and have not been involved with the 'A' team and other 'lesser mortals' have done their porridge. If you have a rule it should be seen to be applied fairly - we are all equal , but some are more equal than others.
