All players will be fit for the start of the season
Preseason training starts next Monday
After what MC said re Jordy, I'm sure that BLM must be a very proud father
No news on Battye'"
Will players and coaches, be able to resume training now or early new year, due to further lockdown restrictions until the end of next April ?. Every thing connected to sports seems very unclear at the moment. I’m sure regular testing of players/staff, for the virus will have to continue, this will cause massive disruption to training regimens, if anyone is found positive.

Haha me too ! We’ve all seen countless false dawns but this time I have a really good feeling that things are going to happen.
I witnessed all the success of the 60’s (and hope for younger supporters those times return!) but despite the success then I don’t think the management of that time could hold a candle to what the present regime have done.
The club is in safe hands at last, well done to all and hope it continues!

Best wishes to JC for next season, always nice to see one of our own doing the business.'"
Jordan was sponsored by Joe Ralph personal trainer and got free sessions and other sessions for PT work he did for him, I’m sure that we all know that Wakey and most other SL clubs can’t possibly offer this service to every player, it’s just how the sponsorship worked at the time and the added incentive to prove himself that he was a first team player, a win win for all I think.

| Great news for all the fans that at last there is light at the end of the tunnel regarding a ground fit for purpose .Personally I’d stand in a ploughed field to watch my hometown club ,but you’ve got to move with the times and this will really enhance the reputation of the club both on and off the field, and hopefully bring new faces to watch what I believe is the greatest game in the world bar none .

| BLM i though Jordy had also worked / is working with Mathew Cook who is earning a great reputation in the sports science Pt world . I have seen videos of Jordy and TJ working with Mathew Cook who I understand also works with the England RU 7`s team. Again this would show great initiative by both Jordy and TJ to seek out the services of a specialist trainer to improve aspects of their game.

That was also an invitation I believe to work on sprint training again every thing helps.

| Always believed that specialist coaching can make a difference even in small amounts. It teaches good practice and refines skills.
If he's still around get Frano Botica around to do some kicking training, retain Broughy to do some halfback stuff with the youngsters. Minimal outlay.stuff that could have a positive effect.

| Quote ="Fishermanscap"That's a very strange thing to say.I wouldn't have bothered posting that point if I thought someone would use it against the club, then again I should have known
I can't think of any profession or activity where to get to the very top you don't do extracurricular work. Whether that be a night school class, extra time at the driving range or picking up an HGV license just in case. Do you think that all the stars of this that and the other have not done stuff off their own bat to get on, of course not? All students who are serious do extra studying, homework as we called it.
The club/employer has an equal obligation to all employees, how on earth would you expect them to find the time and resources to offer further training beyond what they probably already do to individuals? The club will offer a fairly generic physical training regime to all whilst spending most of its time and effort on drills and skills. It's up to the player to enhance himself further if he sees the need, JC clearly wanted to do so.
You wouldn't expect Amazon to train its drivers to drive faster and read maps better so they could deliver more parcels in an hour and thus earn a better peacetime rate, they only expect them to what's required anything else is a bonus too both. It's called pushing yourself, it's not obligatory but to be the very best it is a necessity IMNO unless of course, you are ridiculously gifted, I don't think JC thinks that.
Why you think that reflects on the clubs conditioning baffles me, they gave him what they felt was needed, JC felt he needed more. Good for him and good for the club for recognising it.'"

It has always been clear that all “elite level” sport is uninfected by the lockdown and tier restrictions since May
Saying that, the RFL have given the go ahead for all training to restart (following their activity guidance for community game) just over a week ago and some of the trinity first team have been back in training for a few weeks already

Thanks FT. I’ve just been hearing on the news, a strong possibility of a full lockdown even before Christmas. It’s difficult to see how even elite sports can continue under those conditions. I do hope clubs are able to get a good pre season workout, and that the season does start in March. Everything is so unpredictable at the moment.

Really, is that why it says Fisherman’s cap responding to being called Vastman?
LMAO
So apart from a desire to look foolish and obsessed, an endeavour in which you triumph, explain to me what I have to gain here, I’m fascinated?
Remember I fully admit knowing FC quite well and always have. If you were actually smart you’d work it out, it’s pretty obvious

Can't see any surprise there. Players are one thing but your coaching staff are very much going to be picked on trust and personal experience. One thing I think Chester needs more than anything after the last 18 month is people he can rely on and who he knows.
Quite brave actually, as Ireland and Poaching are two people who could easily be considered as people who could replace him. A lot of people would shy away from that level of competition.
