Quote: SirStan "Fitzhenry? Really?
Just focussing on wingers you could have listed Omari Caro, Sam Latus or Liam Colbon, all way behind Fitz, and that's before he re-invented himself as interchange hooker with the Fish.'"
I agree about Fitzhenry.
I think a lot of it is relative expectation. The likes of Latus and Bauer were inexpensive players who could fill in if needed, and I'd say they filled that job description okay. Kris Keating was supposed to replace Dobson and he had a better NRL pedigree, but never got close to living up to that billing.
Also to establish a reputation for being a bit rubbish, you have to at least be good enough to get a run of games. You at least remember Latus, whereas there's plenty who came from the academy to play only once or twice.
