one thing i did notice during KR match

at no point, not once did anyone come out the line and try and pressure the kicker, no wonder they kicked us to death!

sick to death with the inconsistency this side shows

The physical strength and fitness battle comes from the head - classic example Fielden is probably just as fit and strong now as he's ever been...

People only seem to notice players are knackered when we lose or put in a ropey performance ; the players are just as knackered when we win but it's not as apparent.

Amongst professional players it's rarely a matter of who's strongest or can run for 80 mins - player to player, club to club, position to position there really is little to split it - its always about who wants it more when out there on the pitch.

I don't think that is true.

My head is still the same but my body cannot do what the head wants it to.

In terms of RL the 82 Kangaroos showed what fitness or rather lack of it meant.

i commented on our warm up being too lethargical, the lads just seem to go through the motions.

same routine each week.

i think we need to chuck in more skill drills to get the players aware before the game! just chuck in something different so they have to switch on!
