I dont think it was portrayed as being beasted for 6 days a week, I kinda sussed that....but collective as a team at work....that could infact inc a multitude of sessions, match analysis, video, individual development programs, swimming, PR work etc etc....only asking cos thats what was put over to me and prompted the question?

I don't think players could ever be considered overly fit. IF we want to have the best chance of winning then fitness plays a massive part of that. If you're fatigued you make mistakes so even if you had the skill & no-how in the first instance you'll look like a bag of e as you're too tired to perform. You fall off tackles, don't make the ground to a tackle.

personally I never get the impression that their fitness is an attribute, just that it's okay. I reckon we could raise it up a notch or two.
