I have been a critic of Lia over the two previous seasons because he has been sub substandard. Since Ernie stood down he has contributed well to the team notwithstanding that his mobility is lacking and he gives away free kicks in dangerous areas.

But to suggest that he is some demi god is simply hyperbole

I doubt many are calling him that, but this is a team game were structure and cohesion are vital. Clearly we we suffered when Lia and smeltz went off, the balance was tipped unfavourable. It's unfortunate that an error from durante makes it all seems worse, but as someone else pointed out, our subs were less effective than Brisbanes. I'd have left smeltz out there until he could no longer walk to be honest, and mcglinchey delivered some balls smeltz would have liked but we had no-one in there to appreciate them.
