Interesting to see Peter Burge give Sydney Stack a decent and very public whack in the Herald Sun today.
He deliberately didn't mince his words; said Stack needs to commit to working on his conditioning.
Not what we wanted to hear, but certainly some tough love being metered out to Stacky by our fitness guru.
Oodles of talent; question remains as to whether he can get the most out of himself.
I guess the positive is that he is being given a mini rocket in late November, rather than March.
So all you guys that get on my case when I make comments on Syd's running and immediately jump to his defense have just got a dose of Burge's first hand reality so you can stop shooting the messenger.
In individual needs session again today Syd was trailing MJR by so far it wasn't funny, I were not going to put it any training report, as I have mentioned it previously, I were just going to let Syd work on it a few weeks to see where that got him but as Burge commented on it directly it again becomes relevant.
**A funny aside today, Syd was already being paced by one of the other fitness guys and Peter Burge, ( unbeknownst to Stacky ), was prowling the center watching when Burge cried out FFS Stacky! as Syd bent down pretending to do up his shoelaces , someone should tell Syd that trick never works.
I haven't read above article but it sounds like Stack has not put in the running work during the break
