Message: [QUOTE="Big Pete, post: 2685694, member: 1899"] Maybe it isn't a club thing to you, but to others it most definitely is. It isn't always a stupid decision. I already gave you the Webcke example but even on Wednesday, Robbie Farah put his hand up for the Blues and put in a better performance than any other candidate would have. At the end of the day, you're pointing the finger at the wrong people. It's really the coach's who should be judged for picking players with an injury since it's their job to make sure the team is going to perform at it's best. All the players can do is make themselves available and do the job to the best of their abilities. Their capacity to put their hand up and fight through injury should be recognised and celebrated in most cases. There's also the flipside of resting injured players when in reality you should play them. Look at the Broncos in 2010. Locky was right to go against Canberra, it was their last roll of the dice but instead of trusting his captain, Henjak pressured Locky into standing down and it really hurt the club. [/QUOTE]
