In principle I agree that we could be a lot fitter, but let's not forget that Wakefield were always going to be the fresher side. Although we have had the fortune to rotate certain players recently, Wakefield have had the luxury of not competing for the last few months, plus they've also added new recruits to bolster their squad now as well. We haven't had a week off since the pointless week that was the WC challenge series. Let's also not forget that Wakefield went into the last 12-13 mins having used all their interchanges.

The four J's from the bench gave us the lift we so badly needed. I thought James Greenwood went very well. Allgood, Walker, Burke ... not so much.
Somewhat fortunate to win, but you take what you get.

I was in the HP bar after the game and was also told that JP had been visiting the club one day a week over the past few weeks and had submitted to the board a list of what he feels needs to be changed at the club. If they would not back him on his list then he would not be coming.
He has suggested certain changes and when questioned that some of them should be the decision of Chester but he supposedly said Chester's here to coach the team. He is there along with the back room staff to supply the players and backing for him to carry out the coaching duties to the best of his ability.
Let us hope that JP does come and sort the club out from top to bottom it has not moved on much since it has been in the Super league and unless things change we will always be also rans.
We have done well reaching Wembley and the supporters deserve more but unless there are changes within the club it will never happen.
I also heard that as long as we are in the super league there are 4 new players already lined up to join the club in 2016.
Let's hope the HP source bears fruit (excuse the pun)

That chat thread died, and so did those mods, gladly, I now feel I have a license to post knackers where ever.

Had to move from Secret Hill Top Lair, it became compromised.

I foolishly released it's GPS coordinates.

Just cooked a bit of beef in New Lair (location will not be even jested at) massively over cooked. Terrible.

I post on other forums, might have to burn new lair down to cover my tracks from The Coordination.

Is the location still the Huddersfield area

The level of fitness of the players doesn't lie upon the back room staff, it lies upon the players themselves .....That is the difference between a team winning silverware and a team constantly falling short ......Trainers and conditioners can do all that they can, but if a player doesn't have the right mentality required to be in a silverware winning team then nothing will make them match fit week in and week out.

And to give the other point of view ......Because of our cup run the players haven't had a week off since the rugby season started .....Fatigue will undoubtedly play a part at this time of the year.

To a point I agree, players need the right mentality, not going out and getting hammered, eating the right food and generally keeping in good shape away from the club.
The training regimes the club employ can aid or hinder this. Training times, balance between cardio and weights, the pre and post match prep and physio. All these things will get you in the right shape at the precisely the right time and is to a great extent out of the players hands.
