I wish i agreed but we have more issues then MC selections imo. We fans seem to think our problems would be solved by a smarter coach better selection's etc however maybe the list has more holes then we think. We don't have the overall talent to challenge the best teams when it matters.
We fail year in year out mate. We just aren't good enough for long enough.
Picking fit players turns that 60-0 into something much, much better, even on a bad day. Doesn't even get to half that much. Half fit, underdone, out of form players will always be left behind when the contest is at it's hottest as we found.
As for not being good enough, when you sit 2nd, 6pts clear with 7 matches left, and last year essentially 20pts from a premiership (16 PF + 4 GF) you are more than good enough. When your fitness guru injures much of your squad, then the coach/MC keep picking half fit, out of form big names then it blows up in your face. What it has done is produce one of the great wastes of a season ever in my memory Need people hauled right over the coals for it. What we need is some pace and run added to the side, like the one's who played the last 2 weeks. Makes a difference.
