Given that the likes of Patton as noticeable put on weight as well as your existing players not getting in shape I would suggest something culturally is wrong at the club or your strength n conditioning coach isn’t doing is job . I know Batley have a strict alcohol policy and fax are 20% fitter than last year , the championship is getting harder every year , it’s not just recruitment it’s the job lot .
We know all about the crap culture of the club. I'm not sure it's down to the S&C coach as players are obviously eating whatever they want given their size. A lot of players don't care. There are exceptions. For instance Tom Doyle looks fit and gets through more work than a few others put together.
I think the OP said the thread was just about players. If we were to look at off field positions I'd say a clean sweep of the whole lot is needed. A new head coach from outside would've been a useful break with the past but I'd say the problems at the club go right to the top.
I think Shaul may be a spent force and LMS could still command a SL spot somewhere. He'd never sink as low as us. It all comes down to budget as has been said. Trouble is the rot has been allowed to set in and it may have gone too far.
