when are questions going to get asked of our strength and conditioning team.

Players now listen to those guys when it comes to everything , injury to preventation and then treatment once they are back (none of ours seem to be getting back )

it been 19 months of terrible injuries - at a small club like ours if it keeps happening its only going to mean one thing

BOJ42 you make some very good points about the coaching but let's wait and see what happens in the first few matches.Got shot down half way through last season for saying when the injury's were beginning to hit .that a lot of the coaches were there when the new coach came in that saved us from going down .He brought it own fitness coach in because the players were not fit

Fifita has explained all this in an interview.
It's a managing pain issue which is why Chester says it's up to him.
It isn't a flippant statement.

So nothing's really changed or moved on from last season with him then?! Is it just naïve to think he would take painkilling injections before most games to get him through? I haven't heard an interview with him explain stuff, if you have then fair enough. We need him at least 90% fit and firing, he gives us that xfactor that could take us towards the top 4, without him I think we are gonna have to have lower expectations.

Think the interview is on Trinity TV but can't remember.
He had the op, it was just identified late.
He said it was the worst pain he'd ever felt.
So I guess it doesn't just go away quickly but I don't really know what the issue was.

Well obviously you, me and everyone else just wants him out there doing his stuff, but what we don't need is a point where Chester is running out of patience, a scenario where the medical team are saying technically he's not injured but Dave says he's in too much pain to play?! What happens then???

I don't think anyone has said he's not injured, just that the recovery isn't an easy thing to cope with.

1. Can we sticky this thread
2. Can we direct all future miserable manic depressive threads to it.

Keep all the cack in one place, sparing those of us of a less doomful constitution from discovering these cheerless postings splattered all over the gaff.

Tell you what, as re. Fifita, just for the sake of being positive, you can tell us he's 100% fit, firing and ready to go and will be playing at HKR yeah? Because you have this on good authority?! The current situation re. him is negative, they are the facts and the reality, but don't let that get in that way of faux positivity eh!!

Neither can you say that he definitely won't, or more importantly that the player replacing won't have the game of his life.
It's just about whether you want to find the negative.
We all know the same facts. It's just some focus on the positive, some on the negative. No harm to anyone else if you want to be the latter, I personally prefer to be the former.
