Looking at last nites game where Souths almost beat the form team of the comp so far, I was amazed by their fitness. For the first 30 minutes they had less than 30% possession but still looked energised and full of running. At the back end of the game they almost run over Saints such is their stamina.
Now lets compare that with the Eels. They look absolutely smashed after 10 minutes which imo is directly leading to our poor possession rates so far. Except for the first 30 mins of the first game our possession rates sit around 40%. Once Penrith held onto the ball they run over us because of their superior fitness.
Is our fitness, or apparent lack of it, leading to our extremely poor form?

This is true - we’ve been bloody unlucky with the scheduling and temps but we look unenthusiastic at the moment too.
But not in 4/5 games.
We look fit but we are obviously not match fit.
AFL and NRL require different fitness so the who the hell thought it was a good idea to hire someone from AFL ffs?
Yes we are
