You seen incapable of understanding you own posts
nakivell attributes the success of wigan under maguire to conditioning...You have pointed out that were other important things, which is what I said, do try and keep up.
I asked nak for specifics about conditioning but the cupboard was bare....lacking in thought maybe?
By precisely setting how he wanted to play maguire could then have conditioning that was fit for purpose (something some uk coaches have failed to grasp). This also reduces injuries and improved physio and rehab minimises abscences.
maguire brought the whole storm systemic approach with him, not just 'conditioning'. HTH

I was about to write you off as troll but the latter half of your post was deserving.
Nak made a simple mistake about when Wigan won the CC and you acted like a troll towards him.
You are right Maguire brought the entire Melbourne philosophy to Wigan. It was rumoured Kearney was out first choice at the time by the press. Luckily, we seemed to get the better end of the deal. Sport is supposedly simple but Maguire fully understood the Storm system. he brought a game plan that saw numbers in every tackle (much easier said than done), improved groundwork on the ball carrier to slow the POTB down and reduce yard gained in the set. Ball in hand, he made Wigan respect the ball, limiting offloading in our own half and once we got in the opposition 20 the attack plays based on the now common second man routines were executed perfectly. Above all he brought a discipline to the club where players were treated firmly but with clear expectations, the highest.
The fine detail is far far more but every player bought into it because they learned far more from Maguire than they did from anybody else, anywhere else. Ask Paul Deacon!
Conditionining was led by Bitcon.
Wigan under Brian Noble was a holiday camp compared to Maguire.
