@Tim interesting about the development pathways, but that seems to be something everyone knows anyway.

Then he launches into the old COVID and not enough variety excuses to try and absolve himself from his results. Covid was world wide.

Lautoka

Anyone know why most of the games are in Lautoka rather than Suva?

Is Lautoka more of a rugby area than Suva? or is it more that Nadi is easier to fly to?

I do remember the commentators saying during one of the Drua home games that Lautoka was hotter and more humid than Suva so perhaps they are maximising their home advantage.

I know I am getting a bit long in the tooth but what does Applied Performance Science mean in everyday terms that is easy for old buggers to understand?

I assume it is sports science? Like as in looking at player loads for injury prevention.
