I was taking a sneaky look at the fitness testing on saturday, and let me say what a poor sight it was. PROPS BEATING CENTRES!!!!! OLDER PLAYERS BEATING THE YOUNGER ONES BY MILES!!! When you see things like this it makes you wonder why on earth are we still persisting with these players. Are there favourites at the club!I mean for a start: Ben J - totally unfit and extremely overweight, will never be able to last a game god help us if Hawker gets injured. Jefferies was beaten in the fitness testing by Gunter - has this boy no shame..... C Landrey - Looks to be making an effort but still well behind the other backs (Ben not included) G Gunter - not last in the testing but not far from it ...
I'm all for development of the local young lads but come on we are flogging a dead horse here. Joel,Cai and Stuart have proved their potential and their work ethic, they are good solid members of the squad. With out stating the obvious why are the named offenders still in the squad! FAVOURITES!! The back room in the club need to take note that this has been noticed by quite a few and if there is a simple answer please say.
Well done to the older fellas: D Smith, J Hawker, L Woodard, M Jones Best results in the fitness testing.(Byron away) On watching I also noted that some of the scores of the boys named above were better than what was shouted out. Any reason why these boys scores were taken down by so many meters maybe not to make the poor ones look not so bad.
(IN ONE CASE A SCORE WAS ALTERED FROM 148M TO 143M)
Special mentions to Joel, Stuart and Cai did really well!!

Come on no one in their right mind can think Ben, Gunter and Landrey can get away with being so unfit and overweight when there boys in the youth who can do better!
