This is the infamous Wigan conditioning that couldn't stop Warrington crossing their line in the last five minutes. The same Warrington who have shut out teams seven times in the second half this season?
Head and shoulders my absolute left, and right bollock.

There is much more to conditioning than stamina, and i would say we have let a few teams score late, but that is down to taking our foot off the gas and getting complacent rather than a conditioning issue.

You'll see how well conditioned you are in september/october. As you alluded to.
Any old bozos can look fit as fiddles early season, but it's a long, hard tiring season.

| Quote Mugwump="Mugwump"This talk of conditioning or lack thereof is just smoke and mirrors. We've no way of assessing the absolute or relative fitness of each SL squad. None. All I'm seeing is a lot of speculation based on eye-witness evidence which is hopelessly unreliable. Just because player X isn't getting back into the defensive line quickly enough doesn't mean his cardio is not up to it. He could be injured. Or he might just be trying to cheat his way into the 10m division. And you can't base an argument on the "look" of a player. I mean, Chris Joynt looked like he was about to collapse regardless of whether it was the first minute or the last.'"
 I always used to think that - he'd run out (maybe amble is more appropriate) for the warm up looking like he'd just run a marathon.

| It was good to see on Boots 'n' All that Joey Hayes is doing well at Saints as the Physio.
I have to admit I didn't know it was JH  but as soon as the camera was close enough I could recognise him.

Didn't you know that there's no point anybody else competing now that Wigoon are four points clear at the top? It's futile.

Dont count on it, ive seen Gleeson picking up a curry after match nights many a time, including this season.
He gets his currys from Up holland in case anybody was wondering, and he looks a bit girly in his convertable  (I would not tell him to his face though)

Immediatly after a game is the best time to take in a high amount of calories to refueal. Most players will have something along those lines.
JJB interviewed Adrian Morley in rugby league world and he said his favourite is a curry.
