best thing for jetlag is to drink as much as you can before your normal bedtime, and hey presto wake up after a nice sleep.

Hence why you prepare your body, sleep pattern and mind BEFORE and AFTER your trip.

This is what professionals do, it's not rocket science and there are tried and tested methods. Maybe all those Olympic athletes that are going out 4-5 days before big events at the other side of the world and winning gold medals are just freaks of nature?

Given that the team will have been preparing for the St George game in 17th Feb and that they then flew out of Australia on Sunday 18th Feb, it doesn't give a whole lot of time to adjust sleep patterns prior to travel. hence why it MAY be a factor.

Tough ask with 4 of our starting pack out, they look full strenght, all squad numbers 1-17 named in their 19.

Going to have top play well.

very short in the backrow, need to find a way of having Carlos and Griffin in the 17, so I'd be tempted to use Griffin in the backrow off the bench, to be honest Carlos has good enough defence and is strong enough to do a spell there.

The first squad announced was wrong, Manu is back in for Lane.

Makes us a bit stronger.

I like that team. Although I'd obviously prefer to be full strength. A fit Manu would change things up.

You can have a back on the bench when you have a utility on the pitch. If Connor has to move to cover an injury 1-7 then Griffin goes to centre. And as we've seen in the past, Griffin off the bench can change the momentum of a game.

Maybe he wouldn't be there with a fully fit squad but I like Abdull on the bench too. Bit of a luxury but if the game is tight with defences on top he could offer something new in the middle. Could he also spell Hadley at hooker for ten minutes?

Mini is also back in the squad!

Re: cas away : Thu Feb 22, 2018 1:34 pm  

Mini and Manu back in the 19 man squad for Saturday?? Somebody dropped an administrative clanger on the Squad Announcement? Or is it all a smokescreen?
