Tell me why Shields has a contract.

That was an appalling performance. Why in hell was he on? What will Mark McCall use to excuse that absolutely embarrassing performance by the team against Llanelli B? Another load of bellix?? Does he know what he is doing? I do not think so.

There's more than just Shields at fault

Didn't it occur to any of them to go short, just for a change?

Complete lack of any nous whatsoever

They did go short - he threw that to a Llanelli man too. As long as he doesn't get a new contract.

Barney yes but was anyone else as much at fault?

I predict McCall will say it was a disappointing performance compounded by not winning our set pieces but we are still in with a chance if we can win all our remaining games by 30 points. Or some similar nonsense. He is not up to the job. At least Andy Ward has realised that he is not a coach.

I was right about Shieldsy, tom kite, if his contract is renewed it won't be good. Phillpott played well when he eventually came on. Typical McCall attitude to only bring him on when the game, and our season, had gone.

There is a pixture on The Fru's website, see link below, one up from the bottom (with Fitzy), of Shieldsy in pre-match warm up mode, just about to go on, now wouldn't that scare the sh1te out of you..........?

(In the one just above he's not holding the Ned Kelly in

he played like a man with no chance of a contract, not interested!

He is an absolute liability. How has he got a contract? How has he got two Ireland caps (ok tour caps)????????
