Laurie Fisher Player Quotations

I would stress that this is a function of the way football is going. It's an enormously tough game in the forwards. To think you can be a starting player week in and week out over potentially all of the Super 14 games is an unrealistic expectation.

He's a tremendously gifted player with a phenomenal understanding of the game.

He's a very key player and an important part of our leadership group. Having Stephen in the team for another year will be invaluable for us in terms of developing our next line of halves talent.

It's an enormously tough game in the forwards. Week in week out, the body contact, the collisions are enormous, so to think you can be a starting player week in week out, potentially over 15 Super 14 games and a dozen Tests, it's an unrealistic expectation.
