it's absolute madness putting x into the team ahead of Birss considering he hasn't played a senior game in what... 15 rounds

I said 3 years ago he needs to develop more ......

Post: # 637681Post WinnersOnly »

He was been a lazy trainer - has let himself and his team mates down with his lack of body development...no strength what so ever!

WTF do the fitness gurus do - X would be the weakest player on our list short of Fiora and Connors...

X looked a good month away from match fitness. Stupid, stupid decision to bring him back for the finals.

As much as i was shattered that Birss didnt get a game I really dont think he would have made much difference today, they were way too good. But on that note what has Birss done to deserve to be dropped? I carnt understand it. Answers anyone?

Birss would not have made enough ofa difference for us to have won....but he would have been better than X.

Whether they were trying to play X into form who knows...but X was way off the pace today.

He was poor but he wasn't alone unfortunately.

maybe the saints went in knowing they have another chance and used it for match fitness for him... silly move really.. not the best way to do it

Would rather have seen Birss stay in side or give Steven a run if that was the attitude

I can't understand how as a player who is already light, he plays under his weight. He's only 78-80 kg's yet it is as if he's only around 70kg.

will never play for us again...may be a great citizen,have talent however 1/2 doz games a yr for 6 or 7 yrs is a waste of time

as i've stated before of his 100 gms ...30 have been coming back from injury,30 have been replaced during the game by injury,20 have been average or poor at best,10 have been so so & the other 10 gms he's looked the goods without doing anything

thanks x for the time & effort but ...SEEYA LATER

if real lucky maybe late 1st round draft pick other wise be looking early 2nd round..about 25
