Fitness

[Canteen Worker]

I am not sure if it is just fitness but Matabele picked it with 30 to go that we were still well in the game. Manly seemed full of running at that stage and the bigger Panther boys were starting to walk and slow down. The momentum gradually changed and once we got a sniff it was game-on time.

Well done to the fitness trainers (Rob Rowland Smith and his team) and the Drs/Physios who treat the players. It is very noticeable that Manly has now won three games in which we were behind at half time. We are also conceding less points in the second half than most other teams.

I would be interested in a breakdown of points conceded by all teams in third and fourth 20 mins of games. I reckon we would be well on top!

10 points in the last 3 second halves

there was a lot of talk on how hard the panthers warm up was buy the guys on the radio, i wonder was this a factor, or if manlys isnt much different but just because it wasnt visible.

there was stat in the big league saying in the last 6 games we have conceded something like 192 points (could be well wrong on that figures) with only 28 of these scored in the 2nd half. check BL for the correct figures.

can have been 192

18 and 10 were our last 2, 38 was the highest whish means the average of the other 3 would have been 42
