Yeah, lets rob them from having any social life, school, college and 20 hours a week unpaid training?

Was a total joke last night. Guess we need to just forget about it and move on. Some of our players though don't look up for ir, Talanoa I thought was awful (but was hung out to dry on a couple of the tries)

Was it just the one session you were involved in?
Do you realistically expect 14 year olds to be training 20 hours a week in 10 sessions? Even your lower figure of 16 and 8 would be too much especially during term time.

Salford do look well drilled and have a good blend of strength, pace and organisation, don't look misplaced in 2nd, and the only team to beat Cas this year. Easter will be challenging unless we get some bodies back, sounds positive re Ellis and Taylor at least. Let's hope Kelly returns to offer us something else in attack. The disappointing part for me is that pretty much all teams are struggling a bit apart from the top 2, so an opportunity to capitalise missed (although I guess if we beat Leeds we go 3rd with a game in hand on Salford).

My brother got pushed and pushed to do more when he was a couple of wins away from international duty in Judo and just walked away from training one day and never went back. Rugby is a tough physical sport and overtraining will just see us with a lot more kids in wheelchairs and still no more champions.
