Look forward to seeing what he brings. He doesn’t join until July 1st. Hopefully he will have some say in potential squad development. When does the window close?
Players are in for a rude awakening, great to hear! "Stendel likes his players to be exceedingly fit and use a counter-pressing system against the opposition at all opportunities"
Window is open now until 7th or 8th August I think it closes! I am sure this extensive recruitment period will have included discussions about his "targets" in order to achieve the goal set.
Wouldn’t have been my choice, but I’m 100% behind the bloke now he’s here and will get my full support! COYR
Could be a smart move by the reds. Think Mowatt will be 1st to be fecked off, he’s not gunna be fit enough for towd Dan the man
His contract doesn't start until July 1st, but if he is a professional he will already be working on what is needed.
Pretty sure Mowatt finished near the top in the bleep test at the beginning of last season. May lack effort but doesn't seem to lack fitness.
Players will surely be back for pre season training by then? I guess his team he brings in can coach them for a week or so.
Moncur might struggle as well then. Seemed a bit more bothered to put an effort in this season, but runs out of steam relatively quickly.
