I understood that peptides per se do nothing to enhance performance - the player still has to do the work. In other words they just help you train harder.There are different types but as a generality the peptides used for performance enhancement, are a compound form of amino-acids that act to stimulate the body to produce additional hormones such as Testosterone and Human Growth Hormones which are beneficial typically for muscle / strength gains, fat burning / weight loss or to enhance recovery / cardio-vascular endurance. For obvious reasons, most athletes try to maximise these things as much as possible within the laws of their sport. Peptides weren’t on the radar of major sports for a long time, until they became more popular due to the rate of testing for steroids and other drugs, which are more effective because they basically just push bulk Testosterone and other drugs into the athlete’s systems.
Peptides are produced synthetically and are administered through daily or more frequent sub-cutaneous injections. As they are synthetically produced versions of naturally occuring amino-acids they are thought more likely by many (Dank and others included obviously) to avoid standardised performance enhancing drug testing, that anabolic steroids and elevated HGH levels don’t, but they aim to achieve virtually the same thing as traditional performance enhancing drugs.
They might want to live there... but they arent exactly going to have better offers elsewhere. When was the last time any of these players was relevant enough to be in demand?
Bellamy is just good at taking players no one wants and getting the best out of them. So long as they have the right attitude.
Storm will never be like Broncos... where players supposedly sacrifice hundreds of thousands of dollars to play for minimum wage or not much above it (Mead. Roberts. Marshall. Sims etc.).
All this speculation of why Sandor has signed with Melbourne, all these conspiracy theories. Doesnt he have a fitness gym business in Melbourne? Isnt it that simple?
Yes, except this is Sandor Earl we're talking about. Another great name, Beau Champion . . . not turning out to be a lay down misere ever crossed his mindYes. Except he will be spending most of his time on the Sunshine Coast.
He was a Newcastle junior you know ...The legacy of Rodney Howe lives on....
It keeps them in the top 4.Yeah and getting mediocre players on.monimum wage has been good for the Broncos eh?
You go on about Earl, Myles and Hoffman not being relevant enough to be in demand, but then name Mead, Marshall and Sims in your argument for the Broncos.

All 3 literally knocked back MUCH bigger offers to join Broncos on minimum wage. They were wanted by atleast one or more other clubs and chose the lowest offer available.You go on about Earl, Myles and Hoffman not being relevant enough to be in demand, but then name Mead, Marshall and Sims in your argument for the Broncos.

Bullshit.Peptides are produced synthetically and are administered through daily or more frequent sub-cutaneous injections.
I know a body builder who eats like 4 chickens a day..Bullshit.
Did you know that milk, eggs, some grains and soybeans have naturally occurring peptides?
That's why dudes who want to bulk up devour protein containing foods like there's no tomorrow.
Remember: amino acids ----> peptides ----> proteins.
Bellamy seems far more astute in assembling personnel than Bennett these days.Yeah and getting mediocre players on.monimum wage has been good for the Broncos eh?
Who are we praising or criticising here?All 3 literally knocked back MUCH bigger offers to join Broncos on minimum wage. They were wanted by atleast one or more other clubs and chose the lowest offer available.
Dragons had offered $300k to Marshall. But that was insulting to him.
Knights had Sims on a $400k contract.
Mead was earning $200k+ at Titans who wanted to keep him.
Yet none of those offers compared to a minimum wage contract at Broncos to play reserve grade. Argue all you want about what you think they're worth. They still sacrificed (supposedly) big money to join Broncos. None of Earl, Myles or Hoffman did. They took what was likely their only offer .. or chose between offers of the same amount.
