I suppose its a balance between not being too easy and not being too tough, I have heard ours was classed as too easy (easier than Wigan etc) by a lot of the on loan players. Will be interesting to see if a new team makes a noticeable difference next year.

Hull had this done by magic weekend.

It's all good. No professional in this industry has a static skill set. He's sure to be better now than he ever has been in the past. Also, he's got more RL experience than the last physio.

Sharp was quoted as saying he employed Paul Hatton 'because the players enjoyed training under him'.
Maybe Lee Radford expresses a similar philosophy ?

I'm hoping he rates Justin Carney and has got the casting vote!!

I would presume he will be under the direction of Radford anyway ?
If LR wants a tough pre-season, it will be Hattons job
to provide it.

Fitness itself isn't an issue. We seemed a fit strong side. I know players had concerns regarding the previous conditioner that it wasnt rugby specific enough.
Conditioning will be massively important in terms of doing it right.
Got a lot of young guys that need some added size. Forwards goes without saying.
Mainly I'm thinking logan. But his needs to be done right. It can't come at the expense of his current attributes

The biggest worry with Hatton is the injury crisis that seems to follow him around. As for size as has been said it needs to be done right - we don't want size distributed in a Costigan or Blair fashion.

Both those players didn't exactly show up for pre-season in Adonis-like condition and then slowly turn into walking sacks of potatoes under Hatton's control did they?

You'd prefer the Abdul fashion then.
