Getting the team to bond and understand each other better on and off the field, seems a good move to me...BUT across the river the Hull Board want to cancel their trip stating we need to train in the bitter cold twice a day as these are the real conditions they will play in.
Question is ....Have we got it right or have Hull?
May be the real reason for Hull pulling out of the trip is financial? or can the players not be trusted or can the club not afford any more publicity? its a strange one.
Speaking to Ben Galea he feels the week away is worth 2 weeks full time training here and he and the rest of the team are fit and ready for the new season.
It truly is. An article published on the Hull FC website today quotes a Peter Gentle Q&A as follows:
Q: The warm weather camp in Tenerife is just around the corner. What are you hoping to achieve while you are out there?
A: We see the Tenerife trip as the key part of our preparations for the new season. It’s absolutely crucial for us.
It will be a good chance to bring everybody together in a new environment and also to get through a lot of work in training.
We’ve structured a lot of our pre-season around this camp and we are heading there with some good work behind us and with some good structures in place.
Tenerife will be the place where we bring everything together and get ourselves ready for playing when we get back."
Hopefully AP will put him straight before he's packed. Assuming you are correct, of course.
BTW, using "state" instead of "say" adds no gravitas to your assertions. In your case it's actually the reverse.
