Tired players

Tired players it's a joke

Try playing 5 sets of tennis every other day at Wimbledon

Or cycling hundreds of miles in the tour de france

That's fitness

Something I have never got my head around when they say players tired. Try working a 70 plus hour week ffs

5 first team players out injured, of course tiredness is going to be a factor. No team in the world, no matter how good you are can lose 5 first team players and still be the same team.

Make it 6 if we count Collins playing on one leg.

That excuse is pathetic

They are not tired against the likes of you and me, but against other professional athletes, they are.

You need to be athletic to survive the championship, I am not sure we have the best athletes or the deepest championship-quality squad

Siopsis has got to get used to Sat, Tuesday, and the physicality. Ralls and Rambo are on their last legs. Wintle is out of his comfort zone. Tanner still looks leggy after 60 mins. Ugbo is physically dominated as a 9.

Rinomhota looks like he is out of favour, Adams off an injury but untried in L1 forget about the championship and Sawyers legs have well and truly gone.

100%.
Notice my username now says 1995 as my 95 one was blocked yesterday for nothing.

Ffs they aren’t tired as such. It’s fatigue. That has an impact on the decisions being made by the players.

They have a lot of science going in to it nowadays.

You can’t equate it to Tour de France or Tennis.

They could still out run me or you. It’s just those small percentiles that make all the difference.

Tanner would be better off coming from the bench when the opposition are tiring towards the latter stages of the game, exploit his pace in the last half hour, as already mentioned he goes full pelt for 60mins then he’s done when he starts
