Glen Fisiiahi
Radio sport has reported that Locke has failed a fitness test today, so it looks like Fish gets the nod at fullback.
I hope he pulls out a big one.

I understand, and accept, that there is a lot of hate for Fisiiahi at the moment. But I'm sure we all know that he's better than what he dished up in his past few appearances. I've seen enough from him in the Vulcans that I know he's not actually lazy/doesn't care about defense; he pull off some great cover tackles. I'm not sure what was up with him the past few games, but I think he became a bit of a scapegoat. I'm going to back him to show us all what he's capable of, he'll know it's his last chance.
All that said I'm still firmly in Locke's "corner", he's definitely the better fullback, but I'd like Fisiiahi to do well also.

I have no hate for Fish at all, i dont think he's suited to fullback is all....I've always though he'd make a great center, and still do.
It's an interesting thought. I think I'd like to see him play there for a bit first before judging him. Do you think we would be able to make use of his broken play running and support play from centre?
Fish has hardly had a clean shot at FB and like Spence I'm not going to write a guy off because of a couple of mistakes in a minimum number of games. Afterall a Warriors win is the whole point, hoping a player goes poorly so you can say I told you so strikes me as odd.
It would be a lot easier for him to float a little more playing center than it would be on the wing, getting him closer to our off-loading talent (Mateo etc).
I think the wing is probably the most static position in terms of positioning, i mean the winger is always expected to be on the wing... and i agree that Fish
would certainly need plenty of game time at center for the Vulcans before even thinking about first grade.
He is being wasted, why not have an Inglis type center playing first grade, that can cover fullback when needed, rather than having Fish stuck
in reserves playing fullback, which doesn't suit him...in my opinion of course.
its penehe isnt it? wasnt he on the team sheets at the start of the year during the trials?While I'm not sure of Fish at centre. I totally agree that if the club doesn't see him having a long-term future at fullback, he should be playing in other positions in the Vulcans. I'm not even sure who the club see as the next winger in line after Inu..Slimey?
