Fitness coaches are interchangeable. They either have the skills to develop a program or they don't, and these days I'm sure there's apps that will generate your program for you. What determines a team's fitness is its senior players. Conditioning work is painful over long periods of time, and some blokes just have what it takes to push themselves that extra mile. The ones who don't have what it takes can still be motivated by others, but it's not coaches who do this; it's teammates going through the same torture in the moment. Blokes reach quitting point and think that's it. The fitness coach doesn't know how much he's got left in the tank, but his mentally stronger teammates can show him how much more he's got. It's not the quality of the coaching; it's the quality of leadership that matters for team conditioning.

Great read pou , sorry about the arthritis , celebrax and viox are great as is arcoxia which is the latest arthritic drug which is not yet available on the pbs scheme , interestingly inflammation is one of the leading causes as is age , genetics and obesity

It's the first time in nearly a decade they will finish ahead of us on the ladder. Let him gloat.

Little sensitive there Grigor.....

I called Eels a powerhouse to make the point that TDS isnt copping pay cut to go to a strong club. I could rationalise a player taking a pay cut to go to Storm, Pamfers, Roosters et al but wont be gaslighted taht TDS is copping a pay cut to go to Parra.

Mate I follow a team that has sucked for 15 years, like properly sucked but if I was here to troll you guys and "rub it in", I would do a MUCH better job of it than that. Give me some credit.

I dont beleive you sorry mate. It is just highly doubtfull a rookie was offered 750k whilst you had apparently a better one on books along with Api.

Heywood is still probably 2 years away, and remember we had just got rid of Liddle and Simpkins. For the term of his contract, it was probably a decent deal for everyone and we needed TDS to fill that gap between Api aging and Heywood growing up. I would have expected in a coulple of years when Api is gone, TDS would be prime and Heywood would be the apprentice. Not to be.

Back up 9 is IMO the only position we are weak at the moment at the Tigers and it is being filled by Pope and Latu Fainu
