Quote: gutterfax "I didn't bring tail end premier clubs to the table. All I did was point out the glaring difference between the bottom of the premiership with the "journey men" types who seem to get contracts at these clubs AND the London Broncos who currently have half a team in training with a handful of weeks until the season starts. I'd also point out that whilst fitness and tactics are important in soccer, fitness and tactics are EVERYTHING in top flight Rugby League. London Broncos will start the season well undercooked in both areas and will do well to be competitive with the other bottom tier clubs whilst getting absolutely hammered by the top tier. I'll cheer them on either way...it's a form of insanity!'"
I would rather hope that all players are already in training, regardless as to which Club they are at, so fitness at the start of the Season should not be an issue. Given previous discussions about how poor our training was players coming from other clubs could be a blessing as they will have come from a stricter culture than ours which should be beneficial. Those players without clubs are unlikley to be just lounging around.
