Get down there if you can. Training reports are needed badly.

Well judging by that glowing report of all 42 players, premiership = confirmed
Which group was Yeo in?
Sorry, I deleted my question when I saw you answered that at the start.Yeo was jogging laps apparently (I didn't spot him - someone else did).

Cripps has always been an endurance runner off field, which is weird because he often looks cooked after one of his trademark runs into the forward 50 (but that might be because of all the fumbling)So this was their second 2km time trial for the year. A few senior players did not do the time trial including (by the looks of the video) NN, Shuey, Gov, Schoey and Masten.
The fastest time was by Cripps. The second fastest was Duggan. Great signs for both of those blokes. Hutchings and Nelson moved up to 'elite' category for the run, while Redden and Vardy smashed their PB's, and Lycett improved out of sight.
Of the first year players, Ainsworth was again the fastest, with Brander impressive.

Big things to come from Hutch this seasonSo this was their second 2km time trial for the year. A few senior players did not do the time trial including (by the looks of the video) NN, Shuey, Gov, Schoey and Masten.

Those who cant do, teach!Just because your not good at something yourself, doesn't mean you aren't knowledgeable and able to coach others well. Look at the career of clarko. Not bagging his playing career but it's nothing like his coaching career.

Yeah which is why I wonder why they seem to judge fitness solely off the 2k. Surely the added physical stress of being smashed around plus having to stop and start would be quite different to a one paced middle distance runI've wondered if the endurance nature of footy and Cripps potential limitations from being diabetic have started to show. The game has gone up a notch in regards to endurance and maybe Cripps was at his limit in 2015.
Though he wasn't alone in looking unfit out there, our last quarters are testament to that. Running a 2km time trial doesn't stack up to prolonged endurance sprints over 2 hours
Maybe get them to run 2 hours of suicides??Yeah which is why I wonder why they seem to judge fitness solely off the 2k. Surely the added physical stress of being smashed around plus having to stop and start would be quite different to a one paced middle distance run

They should probably stick to running along safer terrain thenI think the 2kmTT can only be used to compare an individuals fitness from year to year. It's a good exercise to build some fitness but needs to be done in conjunction with plenty of match sim. Cripps running at the front of the pack doesn't mean he is the fittest. If he beats his PB then cool, he is fitter than last year over 2km. It's what happens after 2km that I'm interested in. I reckon he falls off a cliff and others keep going.
