Who the hell asked the captain

[Rubyjo]

To lose so much weight ...yes he has had injury but one of his strengths was that he was a bull . He looks a shadow of himself .

[The_Dud]

I think it’s still the shoulder, as he looked good before the injury

[Scollop]

It was important to get him back early because we were going to be a top 4 team

[Banger9798]

He's not right. What's the point in playing him ?
Let Bytel play or Windhager...get Jack properly fit

Yep.

Unfortunately Lyon has form in this regard. Version 1.0 preferred to play guys that were hampered or well below their best ahead of those pushing for opportunity.

Steele was in great form pre-injury and has been well down and obviously hampered since he’s been back. I’d have preferred to take an L or two if it meant letting Bytel, Windhager etc get a few full games in to reward their hard work and form rather than take those same losses with Steele down and Bytel playing 2 last quarters.

We’ve gained nothing from that beyond pbly lowering the confidence of all three players.

Then you note that Wood is playing with a bung shoulder and has been down, Marshall looks hampered with a foot etc and concerns about running players into the ground whilst starving others from opportunity reemerge

My hope is that RTB will be a little bolder and daring in team selection this time round

Hello

Just a reminder to those of you with recency bias.

Jack Steele started the year in excellent form.

[Darth Vader]

So last year when Steele doesn't play to his usual standard post-shoulder injury that's due to the injury, but this year when he doesn't play to his usual standard post-collarbone injury that's because Ross told him to lose a few kilos. Righto.

I have asked you politely to please not respond to my posts.

Midfielders across the whole league have lightened off to improve running, even Vets like Pendelbry. Harves even did it at different times after getting too heavy.

He returns from a shoulder in 4 weeks ( clearly cant injure it more) but to get back to full strength and mobility will take longer.

Or he just had a bad game?

I don't know mate. A bit of both I suppose.

A poster asked a question. I answered it.
