Morgan's worst tactical mistake of the season for me was dropping Fisher, (although clearly from some of those stats he didn't have as good a season as '07 and '08) and starting with Fitzhenry.
Fisher is our best defender at marker and at mopping up around the ruck, Fitzhenry was good at breaking things up as the game got stretched. That said, I don't think I've ever seen a hooker make so many catastrophic last tackle plays as Fitzhenry. Kicks that were all over the place, running the ball without looking at who was in support and at times just utter madness.
I wasn't on Fitzhenry's back throughout the season and I genuinely thank him for his efforts, but lets be honest, he won't really be missed and using a quota place on someone who at best was not bad is not the way to go. There has to be a young British player that could do as well if not better, for example, Andy Ellis.
Think you will find it was the aussie contingent that wanted fitzhenry in the team!
