Fitness - Whats the verdict ?

[jbb/james]

Luxury!

Back in my day we had to skip with a rusty chain that had an axe tied to the middle whilst on hot coles

Fitness experts... pfffft

Back in my day you got a skipping rope, a pair of boxing gloves and some dunlop volleys to run in.

If that wasn't enough then get back into macrame ya latte sipping ne'er do wells!

And not a fancy skipping rope like those soccer players probably use... but some rope from the local Mitre 10 store...and not the fancy rope either!

and we had to tie a rock in the middle of it so if we stuffed up it would crack us in the head.

And not one of those fancy pants luxury rocks either! One of those tough rocks from the other side of the tracks. the working mans tracks too, not the white collar tracks.

Gloves, by god you had it good. We only had one glove and had to swap them from hand to hand mid flurry and the rogue thumb just had to suck it up

And skipping, we couldnt afford rope so we had to improvise and skip without one. Then because we didnt have a rope we would get beat up because skipping was for pansies back then. But a good kicking meant we didnt need a medicine ball.

But the volleys were standard fare so im with you on that, we just only had one pair for a family of 12 , one shoe was a size 8 , the other an 11 so we were well blessed as thats pretty close, except my sister repainted them white to go to her grade 3 formal, ( the high achiever of the family )which meant more beatings because clean shoes were royally christened , before you were beat up for being a pansy with clean shoes

getting home with dirty shoes meant a beating and going to bed without dinner which kept us lean and hungry for success, or bread or any food really

But did i complain ( ignore above complaint ) NO we did not and we could run rings around these guys, well circular ish anyway as we couldnt afford a compass and the imaginary rope ( which could be used to mark out circles ) was being used for skipping and tying up pansies to beat up

Maybe I'm over the top here in the end. I'm sure he does the best job he can. I have no idea what goes on behind the closed training doors.

Come on Ryan, that's never stopped anybody on here commenting before. 75% of the posts on here are base on pure speculation. I particularly like the salary cap auditors that know how much each player gets and how much we have left to spend.

I'm speculating that you may have something here Ned.

True that. Also, people (officials, players and coaches) DO read these forums, and it affects them.

Therefore I apologise (formally) for my comments on, and to Dan.

I won't criticise him again.

Ryan, it is your god given right to criticise if ye have a genuine beef ..... don't ever stop that.

.... however I agree that some of the irrational and constant bagging of some people by a small minority is over the top and a stain on Silvertails ....

To be fair they have come a fair way from this

... as stated previously .... not a fan of the slovenly mangey bearded one .... but ...

Whoever is responsible for Paseka's development must take a bow ... I was concerned he was too slow and agile-less .... but he is ripping in and running with pace ... surprised as fukk ....

Baz and the team have done a great job with this kid ......

i don't like ferris either but whoever is responsible for tangles should also take a bow. Man he's quicker than i thought he would be

That's just not true Lurker and I'm 28% sure of that.

Well I will. Our fitness is shthouse and has been since Ferris got here. We've lost quality from the coaching ranks due to this bloke. His mate Cartwheel is equally unsuccessful and equally done nothing since being here. There is potentially a first grade coach in Trent but my god he's surrounded by ineptitude and apathy and it shows. Get him some highly professional assistance and get rid of these failures around him.
