Message: [QUOTE="Mightybroncs2k17, post: 3355392, member: 9166"] This is pretty much just another case of media taking any opportunity to report some negative press against us. The only way this ends is we start winning. Should the same scenario have occurred at Melbourne or the roosters then the story is suddenly positive about how hard they're training. There is alot of science and monitoring that goes into elite sports training so you just have to hope we are trusting that. I just hope its not a case of little niggles and injuries and guys been forced to train through them. I'm guessing whats happening is we are in an intense part of our training and guys expected that to ease off with trials starting. In an effort to get these guys ultra fit we may be doing intense sessions during the week in addition to the weekend trials which work on match fitness. If we are still in an intense period of training the staff may be aware that guys could be flat come weekend trials but they accept it as it will bennefit in the long run. Ultimately if you're getting flogged during the week and then again in match scenario's on the weekend you are likely to be flat but would really be doing wonders for the base fitness. With two weeks until the season starts I'd imagine we start tapering off and the training intesnity drops pretty significantly so they start to freshen up. If they've trained hard enough the base fitness should tie them over enough so that they'll go into round one fresh but fit. Towards the end of every season there is talk that Melbourne go back into a heavy fitness phase of training before tapering off to freshen for finals but also to have that extra edge of fitness. They generally appear flatish in a game or two towards the end of season as a result. Probably reading way to much into it but that would be my take on what's going on. [/QUOTE]
