I'm not criticising him Brian, I am a great fan of what he does when he is on the pitch.

But there are a lot who are and continue to do so.
They read things on the web sites and jump onto the he only plays 10 minute band wagon.

If the team selection is right and he only plays for 5 minutes and does the damage I honestly don't care (I know that's a stupid statement as it would never happen)

IMO it's always about the TEAM.

That was the reason I pointed out that LOTS of props only play in short bursts.

Do you think that the Manly prop will get the criticism tonight.

How many honestly even noticed it?

If it was Feka it would have been he's not fit, and overweight.

Rant over.

See you Saturday.

Your getting suckered into it by outside influences. Here's a fact, Feka plays more minutes than Maurie Fa'asavalu but he doesn't get half the criticism that Feka gets, despite Fekas stats being far better. The same applies to Feka v Kyle Leuluai http://www.superleague.co.uk/statistics_player.php?season=2008&stat=metres&hs1=2008&hp1=1135&hs2=2008&hp2=1950 Here Here, the stats shows how effect his. Kylie lulu played 13mins today. Many Anti-Feka people criticise 18mins. When he comes on the whole team lifts. Shame on the people who get on Feka back.

I'm not gettin on his back but I do think that 10 mins each half is diabolical. If Riddell is the same then u gotta use 4 subs every game just 4 these 2 which is not good IMO

When did he do only 10 mins per half?

Riddell did around 30 mins yesterday before being subbed., and then came back on for the last 20.

You're falling into the internet trap.

Sorry but can't agree with you about feka he is doing more than you claim, But my point is he could do more if they wanted him to . The Substitutions are made by coaching staff decisions barring injury of course , although sometimes i do wonder about some of the timing used . 5 min before half time always confuses me .

I think our best forward tonight and for last 3 matches has been O'Carrol by a mile.

Agreed, he style of running is great, its helped with the fact he has a low centre of gravity and can be difficult to stop, just wish he was slightly bigger!

Mr Fielden has been poor.

Mr Brain Fart, he gave away some stupid penlaties on Saturday and again looked non effective going forward. Still better than Coley.
