I don't agree on any lack of fitness, there is always going to be fatigue;
- When you have to defend for substantially more than half of the game.
- When you have no strike players to get out of your own red zone.
- When the refs allow the opposition to ridiculously encroach on the 10 metres, so it's almost impossible to get out of you own 10 metres.
- When you are struggling hard, working hard and still failing to score points.
- When you have substantially less than 50% of the possession.
- When the refs cane the shit out of you and the penalty count is 10 to 1 and you don't get set restart until the 70th minute.
- Especially when most of the above happens week after week and game after game.
How did we look fitness wise in the last game of the season, when we should have been totally spent mentally and physically? The players walked of the field looking like it was Captains run, they could have played another 80 minutes.
