We had a fullback on the bench today too!!!!



Must be sommert to do with Mothers Day?

Yes but some players fitness seems to be affected from having to do more work than others because of the bench that Kear picks and the length of time some players spend on the field compared to others.

Yes pal...from my very brief research from reports we have had the following on the bench in recent times:



Blaymire

Blanch

Millard

Veivers

Petersen



With more than these appearing twice....JK, rightly or wrongly believes that is method behind this.

True and if you had 3 forwards on the bench you should have been fine, the injury didn't help you granted but Kear should be experienced enough to know when to interchange players.

I don't think we are as fit as we could be, that said it did not bother us at Hull, in fact they got stronger during the game, maybe its catching up with them.

Grix is a utility, he played wing, fb, 6 and loose for Trinity.

Are you suggesting the timing of the subs is at fault?

Are you suggesting the timing of the subs is at fault?

It would be interesting to see if he did it while he was at Hull and throughout the rest of his coaching career.

Please define this level of fitness observation please.....are you saying we are poorly conditioned?

I do think there is something in that, we do seem to have a knack of rotating after 35 mins in first half, surely this is lregel pointless and secondly makes players more prone to pulled muscles as they effectivly start cold twice in 5 mins game time!

Al I am questioning it, yes. Take the Leeds match last week.



Neither Wildie or Veivers were used in the first 60 mins that meant that Rinaldi had to do too much work in one go so nullified the latter part of his time on the field and meant he could not be there to be effective late in the game.



Amor hardly spent any time on the field at all and I am pretty sure was subbed 5 mins after half time having just had a 15 minute rest!!!



Morrison and Mariano both played 80 mins, cos Hendo was having to be spelled with the props. We should have two props on the bench, one backrower and a hooker.
