Hatate training today, hopefully on the bench on Saturday, he'll be like a new signing ?.

Top player… maybe the best in Scotland. Fitness a big challenge for him. He can’t get a decent run of games and when he is playing…. dead on his feet around 60 minutes. I make it his 4th long spell out injured in two seasons. When you add in his absence for internationals… something will need to improve if we want to keep him.
Some players don’t have fitness or energy…. usually gifted ones. Unfortunately he seems to be in this category.
{Ed007's Note - Hatate was 24 when we signed him and he hadn't even played 70 professional games - has the intensity of the training & the Scottish game played a part in his injury problems?}

Maybe…. My son mentioned he has played an unusually low amount of games for his age as well.
Might be his fitness that has cost him. With education and military requirements in Japan they are around 20 before they can start playing for real.
Let’s Hope he hits the deck running and plays every game from next week onwards till seasons end. He could make the difference for us….
{Ed007's Note - Having CCV, Hatate and hopefully a refreshed CalMac available for the run could be crucial in securing the league and possibly the Scottish Cup as well for us. With those 3 available I'm even more confident that the league flag will stay where it has been for the majority of most of our lives ?
