Fitzy not up to the job

All respect to Fitzhenry, who has been a revelation for us - but if he takes Wilson's spot, Im not going to be happy. :evil:

We should play heaps of trial games in the offseason, we have plenty of possibles in most positions and i think how players combine with other players will decide who makes the original starting side.

I don't think it works like that westie. you can't judge a combination on one match. team combinations can take an entire season to develop and because one combination doesn't work for one match doesn't mean that pairing should be ruled out. Trial matches have very little bearing on the season westie, they are besically to warm the side up for the regular season. Figuring out combinations has to be left to the regular season.

Which is why I said play a few games. Combos will develop at training and can be assesed in a game situation up at gosford or wherever we play.

you don't play lots of trials for the reason that there are 26 rounds to play after the trials. The beggining of the season is used to test combinations. trials are a warm up and aren't a very good way of testing performances of players. It is mainly to decide which players to release and which to hold on to.

I think Sheens has decided which players will released and held on to by now.

as in young players like Heignington who made the side after performing well in the trials (and I'm sure some strong training sessions). Other players like Obst and Nightingale were probably put out of sheens's plans after poor performances.

I wouldn't discount McGuinness from the centre mix in 2004. He had plenty of knockers before his comeback, including me, but he's shut us all up good and proper with some very solid football. The biggest surprise has been his defence. Can't be accused of being a turnstile any more. He's putting his body on the line and putting his man on the ground.

He would also make an excellent role model for younger kids as he has made all the f*ck ups, and payed the price for them, and now knows only hard work and commitment will be good enough.

Thoroughly deserves serious consideration.

bloody hell, he keeps on playing worse. He has NO direction in his play at all. And why is he constantly kicking on the 1st f**king tackle???? Damn that pisses me off.

He was very poor last night....I dunno how many times when we had
the ball and some momentum and go forward but as soon as Fitz got the ball all that momentum just stopped.
Its just not working with him in the halves,any armchair footy expert can see that.
And I'm like you B-Tiger it annoys the hell outta me when he kicks on tackle 2 & 3!!

Ball playing centre ---Barely
Ball playing 5/8 --- Um.........no !!

Our kicking was poor last night. Lincolns was little better. I am so looking forward to having half backs who have a range of kicks and at least someone with a long kick who has some positional sense. I know Fitzy was really trying but he was so frustrating to watch.
