Was he injured today?

No.
Morgan went for Murrell and Hodgson who are bigger and better defensively against one of the biggest packs in the league.
Fish comes back in on Monday against Quins

Disagree there totally. Who got the SL hitman award in 2007?

I thought it was a mistake in dropping Fisher, been playing pretty well and forming a good partnership with Hodgson.

I've always rated Fisher, so its a surprise to learn he isn't injured and that he was just left out

what is the real reason GML

Fisher could have made the difference yesterday, like he was against saints

What has he done to fall foul of Morgan??

just because he didnt play he has upset morgan?? get a grip

Same drill as last year, I guess. Fisher missed the derby, then played against Hudds.

ooh i've got a grip alright

ben is still rovers best hooker

2 games in 4 days.
And the reasons already stated.
Morgan thought that he went for the right combo v Hull.
Had it not been a Sky game Fox's try would have stood and the outcome may have been different so need for knee jerk reactions.

It's not really a knee jerk reaction. Fisher's status in the team is clearly less than it was, despite still being our best hooker.

Playing a converted stand off/loose man or a young prospect ahead of your best hooker seems an unnecessary gamble. When Fish plays we seem to be more incisive and that was lacking in a game where on the balance of possession (whilst attacking the oppoinents line) we should have won easily.

His defensive ability has never been questioned.

From my persepective, why on earth you h ave moved Murrell from loose man to hooker is beyond me. Fisher I have always rated and find him dangerous. Likewise, as much as I dislike Murrell, I think he is a pretty good loose man. I think Morgan needs to have a good look and realise he may have got his tactics wrong.

Totally agree with your view. In fact reading most of your posts your one of the few FC fans with any sense

As a Hull fan i was very pleasded to see Fisher not in the team whenever i have seen him play not just against us he always impressess, looks dangerous with the ball in hand i would have him as your first choice hooker. Morgan is like to many sl coaches who like utility players and not specialised.

I can see Morgans reasoning behind the move with 2 games in such a short period of time but Ben Fisher has always caused Hull problems previously.

That is impossible and if you persist expect a knock on your door from the aussie mafia.

Is it a case of being too worried about the opposition and attempting to select a team to suit rather than selecting our best players in their best positions and letting the opposition worry about us?

Totally agree also, one of number of decisions Justin needs to admit defeat on IMO! Like the Webster at SO one too, understandable but not a success. Who is on your avatar by the way?

Me playing tennis! Or Sharapova, it's one of the two!

today shows what can happen when you have a proper hooker in the line up

And saving another one to unleash against Wire.
