Still too many tired forwards: Battye dropping off loads of tackles recently; Cunno and Garside need a break. Some of these lads aren't suited to hot weather either.

Think there is a bit of grasping at straws here, I agree with worrying trend of missed tackles in last couple of games. As for players needing a rest Aw bless em! Pretty sure Monday morning was pretty relaxed recovery day for em most of players in championship probably put in a ful shift at day job.
As for it being too hot for them, firstly it's. a summer sport and second what makes it harder for them than any other player
