Yet another thing to worry about lol!

[Wigan_forever1985]

Underlying the whole "we are not performing" trait and the general lack of form i think to me the most worrying fact is not agent millward but We have failed to win a second half this year. That wouldn't be as bad a stat if the team wasn't so young why is a team prodominently featuring mid teens to mid 20's running out of gas so easily????. One thing is for sure you will never go anywhere unless you can win the second half! the first half is important but its the ability to stop Saint's, Bradford or Leeds from running in those 1 to 4 last 10 minute tries which can turn that 40 mins of first half work into a distant memory and the W to a L

Simple.

Too much beer.

Lack or professionalism, call it what you will but too many players at the club seem to think getting drunk is part of the package.

It aint.

The players sink too much beer during the week. They are out on the town getting ratted. You can't do that and train well or play well.

Some players are not like that but too many are.

Unbelieveable!!

If this is true heads have to roll.

Rads was explaining the rigours of training with a 7am start and a finish at 2-3 in the afternoon.

I thought this was meant to keep them away from the bookies during the day and out of the pub at night!

Come back Lee Crooks and his like all is forgiven!

A bit touchy Dave but nice to see you posting concisely for a change. Normally, you make Tolstoy look like he's got writer's block.

Of all of the players above - only one is still playing RL and that's in the first division.

All of the clubs have been professional for quite a while and if you think that you can roll into training with a hangover and still perform then you are in for a shock.

I teach boxing and whenever one of my students turns up with a hangover I make sure they learn not to do it again. Most don't last more than a couple of minutes on the bag before vomiting or wanting to sit down. I am sure that top level RL is infinitely harder than my sessions in a local gym.

Or put it another way - if you can get leathered and still play to the top of your game, great - however I can show them 400 minutes of RL that prove that our players can't
