What did you think to your defensive work with him in charge? This season our defence seems hell of alot better, and with Ben Cooper as conditioner. I haven't seem the team this fit in years. Were teams are running out of gas in the last 20 minutes of the game, we just seem to be getting stronger.

Cant fault either of them, though i think we look stronger defensively under Brown than we did under Sharp, its gonna be an arm wrestle this friday

He was awful, we only made a CC final and top 6 finish with him in charge, 1st time in my lifetime but yep, he was dire

Aiiii but the trophy cabinet was hardly buckling at the seems with a top 6 and final apperance. We never built on the performance and it was time for change.
Thanks to Thorman and Sharp for what they did while at Fartown but time to move onwards and upwards in my opinion.

We thought the same last season but when Nathan Brown brought in "Bumper" he said our boys were not fit enough then but they are now.

I guess we'll see on the day.

To be fair to Cooper he said that they'd obviously spent plenty of time in the gym and were physically very strong but that he wanted them to spend more time on aerobic and agility type stuff.

Add to that our starting props are playing on average 60 mins.
