S Edwards had no excuse so rule him out I know players get jabbed Monk, know it happens all the timeBut I reckon if the player in question hadn't been Newman then they wouldn't have even tried. It's one thing to jab knowing they'll get thorugh and give you 90% output it's another to jab them and hope they will get through. In Newman's case I believe it was the latter with the belief that him being out there would be a lifter for the side. part of Edwards problem outside of just being plain terrible on the day was he had played 1 game in a month bought on by his own stupidity getting suspended for round 23. His lack of match conditioning showed up like a beacon in the ocean

Yep saw that but still reckon going by how he was moving prior to that he wasn't right to play. You could tell he had a "jab" pre-match. Newman not being able to kick 45m tells me he wasn't right and shouldn't of played. When a players number 1 strength is negated because they are carrying an injury into a game then you make the hard call, take the sentiment out of it and not play him
