Our fitness or lack of, isn't why we're where we are, or indeed why you frepped us. You're doing us a favour suggesting it's as simple as that. Our 2nd half performances have been nothing short of rubbish for most of the season. Hell, this even pre dates Sandy. But, just like Sandy - I don't have any reason for this.

You're right tho' - even when the difference was 8 pts (? I forget) - you formed two scrums in your own 20 before we did.
This spoke volumes about our enthusiasm and why (apart from being skill frepped) we came up a long way short.

Couldn't understand why you didn't go for a short kick off when we scored our 3rd and 4th tries (and 5th and 6th)

You were doing fine scoring from your own 20, we did not want to make it easy for you

Regards the fitness, I have said before on both forums in the last couple of years that we were following a similar pattern to when Mallinson was at hull and got shot down. The irony is I felt we looked fitter than last year but our inexperience at times is giving daft penalties away then we seem to sulk for 10-15 mins and as a result ship 18 points.

I still believe that we will be ok and our defence in the middle is better than last year, its out wide were we are struggling, mainly down to poor reads.
