tiredness - over played

I have read reports online about Saturday and the word tiredness appears regularly , I note that other teams on Sky Sports News ( West Ham , Liverpool , Arsenal spring to mind ) were also saying players were tired

I have seen nothing from the Exeter side mentioning tiredness

My question is this , the players are professional athletes and have just had 8 weeks off ( more than normal workers get in a year ) , so how on earth can they cite tiredness - is it because they have had a week back at training ( not a full day ) and run a bit

they are fitter than I have ever been or am likely to ever be

I can take being told that they are crap , that they are rusty , but tiredness to me is crap
