So the AFL dude consistently gets criticised for our fitness as he no league background , yet here for the storm Adam Basil is listed as the conditioning coach:

WouId that be the same Basil here that has an AFL, soccer and Athletics background:

Fitness doesn’t seem an issue for the Storm. Is the AFL dude another scapegoat?
I think he gets criticised because our fitness and strength (particularly in the wrestle)has appeared well down this year. People are only linking the fact he had only really worked in an AFL setting because of this.

Surely you can’t argue that the Hayne article is not a slap in the face to the person employed to look after the strength and conditioning of the club, however inadvertent it may be?

Well going by all the pro BA apologists, BA isn’t the problem because he proved in 16/17 he can coach. So the only 1 variable from those years is AFL merkin. He’s the major change since we were winning. And the way we’ve played backs that up. We look slower, unfit, smaller and weaker. Plus we no longer know how to wrestle.

We're probably weaker in the wrestle because we don't have O'Farrell anymore who was regarded as one of the best I believe. And replaced him with no one that has been announced publicly.
