Lefeau is a case in point - recruitment of Draftees - have they been on a set programme - Gibicus prior to being recruited !Might be my imagination but it seems more noticeable this year that quite a few of our players have what I would describe as rugby thighs, more so than what I remember in previous seasons. Not sure of the training regime and whether this is a knee jerk reaction to ongoing hamstring injuries but this focus I believe has had a flow on effect of slowing us down. Our mids are noticeably slower than the majority of opposition midfielders.
I remember when Karmichael Hunt did the big code switch and the main focus was to reconfigure his body shape more in line with the physical requirements of AFL in comparison to rugby league.
Think we need a full enquiry into the fitness department as it's clear that this season wasn't all just a case of bad luck with injuries, reinjury of the same players sounds like potential mismanagement which needs addressing prior to next season.
