Quote: DaveO "He missed it because it wasn't relevant to the point he was making which is I assume we over do it on the training pitch. The fact Josh likes it is neither here nor there.
It was certainly true last season we had quite a number of injuries picked up in training and if what Josh says is true, then I am not surprised.
I always thought that for sports like RL there was an accepted and scientific way way to train which resulted in different training regimes depending at what stage you were at such as pre-season compared to in-season. I don't think smashing each other to bits regularly is in anyones training book except Wanes.
I also don't see what constantly battering each other achieves. You want super-fit players and you want good technique but you don't need full contact to get that. [iSome[/i full contact will be required I would imagine particularly to hone the defensive aspects of team, but week in-week out?'"
Many thanks Davo, you put into words what I wanted to say regarding the battering of each other.
In my own words I worry about the following, if they are going at it hammer and tongs at one another 3/4 days a week it is tantamount to playing at least another full game every week and the knocks and injuries we may pick up.
Also on what may be a more controversial statement are Wigan spending more time on the aggression side of the game in training instead of the skills department.
