I was going to comment similar to the above. Being on the larger side doesn’t necessarily mean they are not fit. We’ve seen plenty examples, big Joe, baloo, fifita at wakey none of them were exactly slim but were all very fit and effective.
This is completely different to where we are with our squad.
Anyone watching can see the proof before their eyes. We are struggling to get back the 10 and getting penalised constantly. We are falling off tackles. We are getting carved open down the middle, on a small pitch mind, by quick PTBs. We haven’t got the energy to work it out of our own half. All point to fitness regardless of what the players say.
I find it frustrating that the club and players seem to think they cannot or should not be criticised. We are told ‘shut up everything is fine, you are seeing things’ and fans being offered out on social media. It’s just not great and alienates fans even more.
I think someone coming out and being honest in saying we’ve got it wrong this year but we will do X, Y and Z and go again next year would likely see the storm calm a little perhaps. I wouldn’t hold my breath though.
