Ditto for Marchbank.....he just doesnt walk back in either IMO and also has to earn a spot, things have changed and we no longer have to pick players regardless of reputation, if you cant stay on the park and deliver then you earn your place like the rest of the plebs on the list.
Marchbank needs his own personal sub he has been that dodgy with injury, Only A graders like Cripps, Weitering, Walsh etc get automatic status....
100% agree. Marchbank and McGovern are fighting for their next contract yet alone certain walk up starts. Both are ripped into when their performance is not to the standard of their potential yet they end up an excuse when they are out. Same for Newman he is amongst a group of players vying for the same position. He plays a so so game and fans want him replaced. Then is out and we really miss him. :-X
