Quote ="NickyKiss"He seems to be have been carrying a couple of knocks for a while now and that would seem a good decision considering we need him for next week with our best 2 back rowers on interntional duty.
Nobby's made a good call

Yes, a good call but it was an easy one to make. When we are boasting about the talent we have available in the back row there should be no reason at all to play someone who is not fit, particulalry after seeing what happened with an unfit Carmont against Wakefiled and Hull KR.
I am talking about being unfit with injuries here, but surely the same thing applies to players who don't have the required level of basic fitness to play the game i.e. Feka, Piggy and Pryce, although Pryce now seems to be totally out of favour. I think taking the same approach as that at Quins, as mentioned previously in this thread, will pay huge dividends. Think of the effect Feka had at the back end of last season when he finally decided to work on his fitness. I believe both Riddell and Pryce would also be as awesome if they could only get themselves fit
