The club and players are having an each way bet IMO. I don't understand if he's out of shape because of injuries, laziness / lack of professionalism, or both ? And why has he held a spot up until now ? If he's too injured to do his role, he shouldn't be playing, and if he's too lazy to train properly he most certainly shouldn't be playing.
Yet another badly handled situation by our club. Frankly, calling our club amateurish is an insult to amateurs.
Interesting.
PaulP, as people who have both stood up for Bolton, don't you see that this is a little bit of an idictment on the MC led by Brendan Bolton?
In round 1, it was an eyebrow raiser to have played both of Alex Fasolo, and Mitch McGovern ahead of Jack Silvagni.
It sent the wrong message to the group. A bloke who had employed his own running coach in the off season, had a really solid pre season and gotten himself in the best nick of his career (JSOS) was dropped for round 1 so we could play Alex (broke my arm in a drunken incident) Fasolo, and Mitch (Brackets/stress fracture/out of condition) McGovern?
Teague's led MC has dropped him after giving him a period to prove his worth as well as dealing with the injuries to McKay and Charlie Curnow.
We had plenty of opportunities to drop Mitch this year and havent done it. That means there were intangibles he was bringing to the table that wasnt to do with his own performance.
