Does anyone think that if we had Siliva Havila and Hame Sele last week off our bench instead of Kelma and Seyfarth we would of won the game?
Seems to me really what we are lacking is a couple of hard hitting impact props.
Those two were unwanted purchases as well and have spent probably 2/3rds of their career in NSWcup.
Really we should be looking harder for those types of players and offering them ‘overs’
For whatever reason our forwards were very fatigued, and were blown off their feet in the second half, even if Souths bench had Kelma and Seyfarth the result would have been the same or even worse.
After a strong showing in the first half why did they display so much weakness or fatigue in the second half? Madge/Sheens must know why quickly.
Here's one description of the some known causes of fatigue in athletes.
North Sydney Sports Medicine Clinic
(Excerpt)
FATIGUE AND PERFORMANCE
Fatigue affects the physical and mental capacity of a person to perform set tasks. It is especially noted in athletes who push themselves to the limits of endurance, and is also common among people who engage in strenuous work. The onset of fatigue can be rapid, or the result of cumulative effects after weeks or months of physical effort.
Sports and Exercise Medicine Physicians are dedicated to establishing the right balance between training, competition and recovery in order to help avoid the onset of fatigue. Appropriate nutrition, hydration, recovery and sleep are important measures that lessen the incidence of fatigue, whether it is caused on the sports field or elsewhere
My Question now is, are our players getting Appropriate nutrition and the right balance of training between training, competition and recovery?
