state of the art training

Post by Cherryandwhitesforever »

Never realised Wigan had such good training facilities until I saw this video of Sam on this anti-gravity treadmill. Although a bit confused as to what the main benefits of it are? Has anyone else used one recovering from an injury?

I think it answers a few questions if he was fit or not to play v. Saints.

Quite a number were convinced he was just rested.

And if that is still inconclusive to one or two, that machine cost £35,000 according to Twitter !

I think it allows you to exercise without putting as much pressure on the leg joints...but I might be wrong, I'm no doctor! But it makes sense if he has knee problems

I don't know, maybe someone better connected to the club would know? but I would assume so. There are so few money transfers and no Jim White's Transfer Deadline Day that you don't here about it so much.

You would have thought that when taking on a seasoned player from OZ for example on a wage of eg £150.000pa due diligance must take place,but up til now I've never given it a thought.
