Again this crap doesn’t happen at other clubs that are worth their salt
Not true, happens to other clubs all the time. Fifita didn't last on Friday either. Some clubs have a luxury of pulling in top-shelf backups from the reserves.
You can't 100% test a potential strain in a non-combat scenario. I assume Madge mis-spoke because I cannot believe for a minute that Mbye didn't do any sprinting in the fitness test. If in fact he only jogged around and everyone cleared him to play, then yes it's complete amateur hour. What I think Madge means is Mbye passed the fitness test, then in a combat scenario it flared on him. You can only approximate real-match conditions in a warm-up.
If by "worth your salt" you mean Storm or Roosters, then yeah sure, we don't compare.
