Robbo confirmed at the HGSA on Tuesday that last season fitness was a problem, Baloo and the conditioning team got it all wrong in this department but under Steve Walsh and Kane Daniels they can already see differences from last year.

He also said the door isn't closed for Jamie Ellis, he's basically out on loan to get fit and see if he can get some form.
Gave a very good insight into how the fitness an S&C works.
Hopefully we will see fitter and/or stronger players next year depending on their individual circumstances and what Rick wants from them.

Yet club individuals last season were saying fitness wasn't a problem.......

Re: Huby gone - Thewlis Shocked : Thu Dec 08, 2016 5:18 pm  

They're hardly gonna admit it at the time are they ?

Re: Huby gone - Thewlis Shocked : Thu Dec 08, 2016 5:36 pm  

Why would a SL club send a player to the championship to get fit.?
if a player is deemed to be fat, overweight, who,s fault is that.?

Superb and very frank assessment from Luke a great lad the honesty about our position was refreshing and a slight glimmer of hope that Rick Stone now in sole charge of trying to rebuild the squad. Let's hope he does well he certainly has our support

Could be the clubs way of a kick up the A**E

Ellis was told he was leaving before stone came in, guess stone has decided to spare him for now

It was so obvious looking at them that they were unfit. I've been banging on about that since March, now Robbo confirmed it.

Well quite-
But now you are admiring their "honesty" - just like you were believing what was said previously. What things we are being told now will turn out to be untrue later I wonder.
When I and others mentioned their lack of fitness, and questioned whether some of our soft tissue injuries were linked some of these things said by those at the club were used to poo poo the idea. Yet now suddenly they are admitting that fitness was an issue.
They can spin like a seasoned politician it seems.

Where have i said i was admiring their honesty ?
i was just saying what had been said and how someone from the club has now come out and admitted it was an issue, at the beginning of the season when people were blaming the conditioning i will admit i was reluctant to join in and was one that was prepared to give things time to turn round but as they wont on and didn't i questioned it myself and realised that was as issue.

And at the end of they day until we are told differently then we have to believe what comes out of the club as that's the only official lines we get
