Even after 10 minutes he was blowing, struggling to get back in the line, lazy in defence. For whatever the reason he appears to have no stamina at all. We can’t carry a player like that. It’s not fair on the other props.

Luckily we didn’t need him as we had successfully appealed Cooper’s ban..

I don’t know which “undroppables” you mean but Sita had ample opportunity to stake a claim. He was given a contract extension which in itself showed the club saw far more in him than I ever did. I’m sure he is a lovely man, he certainly came across that way, but the contribution was minimal.

Make of this what you will but this is Ben Currie on Instagram referring to Sita and Clark as '2 of the best' in a WG feature on departing players https://www.instagram.com/p/CUksePvoEiU ... e=ig_embed

Well if he's puffing & blowing after 10 minutes then maybe a fitness programme should have been followed & should have been implemented during his first season.

But presumably he was following a full fitness programme and full training or he wouldn't have been selected. I suspect he just had no stamina as the only evidence I have to go on is what he produced on the pitch. If he was tearing it up in training and not reproducing it on the pitch then he shouldn't have been selected at all.

Personal responsibility and pride in performance also play a part. One thing that couldn’t be levelled against the rest of the team was that they weren’t fit enough. Sorry 9a but the Sita ship has well and truly sailed (albeit after a significant delay!

Exactly, if he wasn't up to the job he shouldn't have been given an extension . If he was fitter than he appeared ,were his 10 minute stints a tactical ploy that baffled everybody ?

I really struggle to understand the so-called impact players that can only last 10 minutes on the pitch.
These are professional athletes we're talking about - with the numerous advantages that brings.
They should be in shape as a matter of course unless they are coming back from injury, and with a half decent coaching system in place that'll get them back to the right level in a short period of time.

I had the fortune to have coaching (albeit in a different sports and at a lower level), but what a difference it made!

I'd like to see the number of interchanges reduced to 'force' the use of these type of players to be reduced.

“ and with a half decent coaching system in place”
Therein has been the problem for the last 4 years sadly.

None of our other players could only manage a 7 minute stint each half (I’m being generous). It seemed to me that in the last season and a half even Price had lost faith in him.

I think it is fair to say that Sita was physiologically challenged. Not a man to be insulted. We are not all made the same. Some will never ever get as fit as others. God's fault. Big tough boy though and looked a good bloke.
