When do we call time?

Every team looks like that after a prolonged period without the ball. It doesn’t mean they’re unfit.

They also work on hiding that negative body language. When morale is down that’s one of the first things to go.
We’ll agree to disagree. I think fitness was a factor last year. Not a massive one, but definitely a factor.

Everyone gets better with time on whatever they do. They learn from mistakes and work out different approaches.
How many people get worse at something the more they do it?
@Avenger’s predictions have gotten progressively worse over the years.

The coach has said we’re bigger this year, which is obvious to see. That would imply we aren’t fitter, since with conditioning you can’t achieve increases in every category with the limited time and effort available.

Plus the staff know how fit they are - they test them constantly, and know where their targets are and how to get them there. No chance they start a season less fit than they’re expected to be, and no chance they can improve in every area. There is limited time in a pre-season and therefore a need to focus. We went bigger this year, not fitter. Alvaro is the obvious example. Paulo is obviously smaller and fitter than he was, but he wasn’t here last year. He was at the fat Raiders.

How fat are the f**ken Raiders?

Not so fat this year. Sticky knew too much size in the middle would hurt him now that the men in pink have hidden their whistles.
