Utter rubbish. Thats why sporting clubs have fitness coaches, strength coaches, sport scientists..............

To be fair WQ, there is a smaller element of personal responsibility re S&C at clubs. Plans are drawn up by S&Cs, sprint coaches, etc etc. However as an example, NRL clubs are training 5 days a week at the mo, until Friday. Then they'll come back in early Jan. The S&C can draw up individual plans for players or more general ones. But it would be down to the player to make sure he does what he's asked. They'd have to go to private gyms etc. As well as aking sure they do the running and exercises. That is not in the club's control. Equally some players would be up for and do extras at training, some of which are offered by the clubs. Again down to the individual.

We had fitness coaches but look at the effort of the team last year. Also what sarginson has said about the regime at wigan. It seems to me we have a culture of failure and mediocre results.

I will be really interested to see how Sarginson turns out. I hear he is working very hard to improve at Wigan. The Broncos training regime last year was a joke; losers like Kaufusi certainly showed that. Even those who made an effort, like Cook, were carrying a lot of lard around. Someone please explain where the improvements are going to come from for the 2014 season!

Would you not have expected some form of communication from LB management now that the ground has been secured? Even a holding statement would have been sufficient to set out some sort of time scale relating to announcing season ticket information, CEO, coach ..................... Any management worth their salt should have had this prepared and ready to send out once the deal had been struck to "save the club".

Completely correct, but it seems all communication will now come via New Zealand by mobile phone, and then passed on to the rest of us, who are still around here.

Frankly no, given the clowns that are still in charge.
