Strongly supports the growing case that the players are behind the opposition in terms of fitness at this early stage of the season. 

 

[Chip and Chase]

They definitely ran out of steam yesterday in the last 15 minutes. Rather ironic given that Des prides himself on us being the fittest side in the comp.........stats suggest otherwise

 

[Fluffy]

they seem to run out of puff more in the first half?

 

[The Wheel]

A flood of penalities in the 1st half to the Warriors (king gace away 2 or 3 in 5 mins), then a few drop balls from Choc & heath in the 2nd was a major contribution to this.

Having said that not playing trials in OZ and all the travelling probably didn't help our fitness levels coming into the season

 

[SeaEagleRock8]

Interesting. Don't forget our guys played (with ever-increasing intensity) right up to the very last weekend in 2008. Then several (7?) of them were involved in the world cup which ate right into the off-season break. Then the team had to prepare to be 'up' for the WCC, which has proved to be a big challenge in recent years.

So I am not too concerned if some of our big forward guns in particular take a little while to roll into top form. Burnout is a big danger for us towards the end of this year, but I'm sure Des is aware and has some plans...

 

[The Wheel]

Good point SER8, maybe Des is working towards September not March, I hope so anyway

 

[Zep]

we have to make to Sept first... Though i do believe if we make the 8 we can win again
