Nope. It was the guy Brian Smith brought in for the off season who got them fit for the first half of the season then Clawson took over and same old issues are back

Sorry mate but smithy brought in his son and a another fitness coach that clawson should have learned off, but they wereonly here short term and when smithy left it was all left to clawson again. And is'nt showing.

Didn't brian bring over one of his sons understudies for the strength and conditioning team to work along side pre season? Assume he cleared off when brian did leaving us with clawson in charge again?

If we don't change conditioner it don't matter what players we sign we will be bottom again next year. Hopefully Chester has the gonads to say to MC we need a change

Just to play devil's advocate, but couldn't it be said that these recent performances are a product of the Super 8 competition and teams realistically having nothing to pay for? Taking our position as an example. We were too far adrift for the top 4, but safe from relegation. People have said that based on the current performances we would struggle to make the MPG. Realistically would our performances be the same in the qualifiers? I for one, am doubtful they would.

Sorry to disagree but I thought we fared better than expected tonight. Scored some good tries including the best of the game. Never seen Trin do a play down the wing like that straight from a kickoff. Some good hard tackles and a bit of biff to boot. Beat the bookies for once too.
Scott Moore and Arona were a bit of a liability. Dorn, Gale, Solomona and Chase are just to sharp when the passes stick but also react quicker when the ball comes loose and play is scrappy. Did Solomona go off?

We're not bottom this year we finished 8th I'd take that next season. I'd love us to be fitter for the full season so new conditioner with new ideas could move is up a level.

Agree

Interesting comment from Chester after the game. "If we keep signing the same players we will get the same results"

They may/may not have been fitter but didn't win any under Smith.

It's not stopped widnes the last few games

But we started losing momentum well before the 8's started.
How many games did we throw away, to ensure we finished comfortably in the top 8?
It's the conditioning that's fallen away.
You don't go from playing the rugby that they were playing when CC first arrived, to not being able to string two passes together.
You put the same Wigan side out that we beat 62-0 now, against the same Wakey side now and the score would be a lot different.
