He'll play

I'm a fan of Hadley but not sure he can cover both spots at the same time lol

If one looks at how professionals (in sport) approach long journeys this should never be an issue/excuse.
Us by 20 IMHO.

Indeed, "Jet Lag" is a myth created in the 70's so that people who could afford to fly could remind people they'd been somewhere exotic. A bit like how having a tan used to be a status symbol.

They are professional sports people, if Simon Cowell can commute between London and LA weekly then professional atheletes should have no problem.

NFL sides travel similar distances through different timezones weekly.

They went to Australia, not Mars!

Any chance we can all chip in for a one way ticket to Mars for Cowell?

I am quite convinced that NFL teams most certainly do not travel circa 11,000 miles on a weekly basis and will only cover a maximum of 3 times zones.

Simon Cowell has to simply sit somewhere and listen to some music. Hardly a comparison to someone who is expected to be in the peak of physical condition.

Try telling that to my inner ear which at the minute is giving me the most horrendous dizziness!!

I think everyone who was in Australia should at least have the decency to turn up in Shorts this week.

Fake tan sprays in Hull shops are in very short supply, apparently.

You can fook off...it's going to be freezing!!!

Jet lag is a real thing. It's not just tiredness or mental confusion, it effects hormone levels and organs which contain their own internal clocks. The effects can be managed but not eradicated.

Still more confident about Saturday than I've been for our last few visits though.

And you have a link to evidence for medical opinion?

Maybe it would be easier for you to provide evidence that it doesn't affect anyone.

Seen as though Griffin was up in the middle of the night and decided to do his meal prep for the week suggests that some of the players may be a little out of sorts for a few days this week

Jet lag is much less of a problem after travelling in a westward direction than an eastward direction because it is always easier to shift the body to a later schedule than an earlier one. Think about it, people have little difficulty staying awake a little longer than usual (and sleeping in later than usual) on days off, and this is exactly what happens when traveling west where everything occurs later than in your home time zone. But in the case of eastward travel, forcing yourself to go to bed earlier rarely leads to actually falling asleep earlier than usual, and waking up at 3:00 or 4:00 in the morning is never fun. Heading eastward shifts everything ahead of schedule, and the body definitely doesn’t like this change. In both cases, however, the body’s clock resists any disruption, and thus it takes time to readjust: at least one day per time zone crossed.

Athletes need to be aware of an additional jet lag factor that can especially interfere with their performance: timing misalignment. On top of the “internal body-clock desynchronization” described above, a misalignment between body-clock time and local-clock performance time can create problems even when jet lag symptoms are minimal. Such is often the case when only 3 time zones are crossed and in general it takes a day per 2 times zones to recover.
