I would agree with that.
Missing one training session is not going to make them "unfit" for the Wigan game, but it might make them more tired and slow down recovery time.
I also think menatlly, when you've had such a disappointment, flogging players can have a worse effect. Doesn't always work but we'll see what happens.

Too many keyboard coaches think they know best on here.

Yep.

In the last 3 games we have leaked 117 points against 36 for.
An average of 39-12.
This average will increase on Sunday against Wigan and again the following weekend when Salford beat us.
I hope I am wrong. We had a team looking like a bunch of demented traffic police waving their arms around and making plastic dives to players who have passed the effortlessly.
I cannot accept what looks like a lack of spine or interest. I am no different to the rest of us armchair posting coaches but some of us must be reading the signs correctly.
I have to work my nuts off to earn my corn and I expect Trinity's players to do the same.
Only TT showed signs for the future.
I will not leave the ground before 80 minutes are up and if it's 50- nil and we have tried, they will get my applause.
Up the Trin.

No issues with players having optional training session for what is effectively a bank holiday, however, I think the time would’ve been better served getting them all in to review the performance on Saturday. They could then use the available time in the week to work on things that were done badly/well. It’s a bit of a free pass as the team are extremely unlikely to get anything from the Wigan game so pride is all there is to play for. I agree with putting the players who played last weekend in the firing line, putting young players out of SL match fitness against the best team in the competition would be a counterproductive measure.

How much and the type of training the players do, should be mapped out by the conditioning and coaching staff at the club, to ensure that players are "peaking" at the right time(s).
Too much physical training can be worse than too little.
Having said that, Mr Agar should know exactly who is and isn't putting in enough of a shift and then deal with it in the manner he deems best.
We look to be thin on numbers at the moment and we certainly haven't sorted out defence amongst our three quarters (plus some other areas), so Agar's options are limited.

They were all in the following day from 10am for 3 hours doing rehab and review.

Fair enough.

Just going off an a bit of a tangent, RA and some of his team were booked into a hotel in Manchester for a night out on Saturday night but cancelled straight after the game and went straight home.

After leaving the final game on Saturday I saw Mathers walk across the car park with what appeared to be his Mum and Dad. I assume that he still lives that way. Based on that I would guess they did not stay in a hotel.

Maybe going home straight after the game was a good thing. Go home and think about what you've done. (Both good and bad).

As I understand it the players were never down to stay over, just the coach and his group.

Understand that Richie Mathers mum died a few years ago, hence his fund raising for St Gemmas Hospice.

To clear things up I was speaking to oli and I asked him where the rest of the squad was as they usually all come in together or as individuals not just in a small group. He replied with 'It's an optional training session mate'. That's all that was said.

Don't worry, you've done nothing wrong, Ollie is in the clear too.

The strange thing is that this season the points difference had been very respectable as regards teams around us until recently.
Whereas in previous seasons we were often the ones with the worst.
We have had narrow defeats against Huddersfield, Warrington and Catalans.
If we had managed to win those three we would be sitting 7th.
So something has gone wrong.
I reserve judgement, hoping that problems, can be and will be sorted out.
