This is correct. Though I believe it's actually more Alex Corvo's doing as this was something he was well known for when he was at Melbourne

The bloke that got signed mid-season like year ago and then went to Souths this year?

I meant the Foxtel show on Wednesday nights

Wouldn't surprise me if he ends up on Sterlo next week

So the Melbourne Storm deal then?

How many soft-tissue injuries is that this season already?

Most ACL's are non-contact (~75%). So they go during change of direction movements or sometimes when you land from a jump and hyperextend it. Basically it comes down to the shearing forces from the change in direction experienced by the ligament are greater than it can handle. The mechanisms...

Hodges just for wringing that penalty out of Norman

It ain't that pretty or exciting, but it's certainly working well so far

Just quietly the number of soft-tissue injuries we've had over the last 3 months is a bit of a concern. I know most performance department's deem them as preventable injuries so I have to question what's going on? Hodges is always going to be at risk due to his long history of them as previous...

I don't know where this obsession with getting weight off players comes from. Sailor was at or over 100kg during his career, so is Tuqiri and I'm pretty sure Folau was at or around 100 during his time with the Broncos. In an age where a good kick return is so important, having a guy at that sort...

Re: Russel Packer - possible link to Broncos I think you'd find that it's pretty common in a lot of business'

He's actually with the Japanese 7's side.

He's at Melbourne right? So possibly because he's stuck behind the Bromwich brothers, Bryan Norrie, George Rose etc?

How do you be disappointed in a bloke you pull after 20 minutes and then leave on the bench for the rest of the night? Who at that point had done the most defensive work of anyone on the park (21 tackles). Can someone explain to me how that is Kennedy's fault and not Griffin's?

I wish I had their stuff in the gym I work in. Over summer I had 30 15 year olds going through a gym with 3 bench press racks and 4 squat racks. Trying to get them through in an hour was an interesting challenge.

Gym's don't have to be fancy. Squat racks, bench press racks, platforms, chin-up bars, dumbbells, pulldown/row machines, benches and some room for torso exercises and to warm up. Training football players hasn't changed alot in the last ten years. I wish I had access to the stuff in the Bronco's...

Not disagreeing about Corvo. You don't get to become an NRL level strength and conditioning coach without knowing what you are doing and he is certainly very good. From what I understand, his strength program is actually very similar to the previous one. It's the conditioning that will/has...

Agree with all but point three. One of the S&C staff is the best in the country at what he does, had been there for nearly 20 years and has the data to show what his programs involve work extremely well. 95-100+% maintenance of strength and power through 26-30 weeks is an extremely difficult...

It's pretty easy to get these guys who are in pre-season training now into shape, but it's much harder to get guys like Thaiday and Parker who are away on international duty into RL shape. They have a mandated 6-7 weeks off once they get back due to the bargaining agreement and then have a...
