Yep but there must be some responsibility on the players to say if they aren't fit and Deacon isn't handling the physical side of the game at the moment.

You would think...

He's been poor for a while, but i've not rated him for at least two seasons now.

But if you can see that (speculation though it is), then surely the coaches that see him day in day out should do too. If he ain't cut out for it, he should be nowhere near the side, and if he ain't picked then the above scenario is un-neccessary.

It depend on how intensive the contact is in training. I'm guessing the physical contact during a game is harder and until they are in that situation you can't really judge if they can cope, so i can understand not being able to pick up on that during training but when week after week he's been targeted and most weeks is staggering about after one or more tackles I'd hope they'd be able to pick up on that.

are you tigertot in disguise?

Yes, you'd think that a highly paid RL coach [iwould[/i be able to see that wouldn't you?

Tigertot has 65646412477 aliases, but I am not one of them.

How set in stone are these selections ?

I listened to the Bulls podcast last night and Steve Mac seemed pretty certain Semi wouldn't play, so unless he's made a fast recovery why waste a place in the squad ?

who else was going to fill it?

A reserve
Why waste it with someone who can't play ?

Yes you are.
