Casboult has had a restricted pre-season because of his PCL injury and it was noticeable that he ran out of puff against the Hawks (as did most of our blokes).
A player's ideal weight is determined by the fitness staff and we have seen fluctuations in weight over several seasons. Our fitness staff seem to have decided that players should be lighter and Bolton's zero tolerance of bad skin folds has probably contributed to lighter playing weights as well.
Casboult being 3kg lighter does not mean that he is fitter or has worked harder than last pre-season. It just means that he is marginally lighter and that may have little or no impact on his endurance, strength or dodgy knee.
