Changes to 2018 Football Dept.

He has an uphill battle, hope he likes a challenge.

 

[Philip_Smith007]

They've had one for 12 months...

We might need a couple more if Alex Corvo is the real deal some boys might need daily seasons for a few hours working through some issues.
Hey is Tony Robbins popping in?

 

[Blair]

They've reached the elite position in their sport, most have never played finals let alone won a premiership, and they 'need' a motivator?

I went to some local league this year. Freezing, windswept ground here in NSW, 4PM kick-off (so the sun had little say), there'd be a few hangovers on the field, one guy does nightshift the night before, tough jobs or no jobs to head to the next day, they often played bigger teams from down the hill, or wild and woolier teams from the other direction, back beyond the hill, etc.

They were a motivated team, and the community loved them.

 

[Penrose_11]

Corvo will be a great signing but unfortunately with the World Cup this year ending 2 December, a lot of our squad won't be back to Penrose until either late December or January. Between the NZ team and all the PI teams, I doubt there will be many of our top 20 players who aren't involved somewhere.

I can hear the excuses being lined up already "We didn't get a full preseason"

 

[Iafeta]

Any links to interview?

Not sure mate. I was listening via iHeart Radio. But, if Newstalk ZB have a listen back audio log, NZ time he was on between 11-11:40 yesterday.

I think Corvo will have that well in hand, he's worked with Storm, Broncos, Queensland & Kangaroos...all have those issues. There'll be individual rehab, train-on, maintenance programmes happening for players involved in reps (as well as for players that come back with weight issues etc - big on the skinfolds, nutrition & doing compulsory extras) & a full season for the whole club base (they won't know what hit them) which will mean there'll be no excuses from anyone re fitness. He'll be well-involved with position specific conditioning so I reckon there will be some back to basics with skills and drills for a lot of them to compliment that - I know he was always totally involved around Storm trainings.

wonder if he can do passport blocks to the Islands. Seems to me a lot of them come back from the Islands having enjoyed the hospitality a little too much.

Found one Veitch talking to Alex Corvo.

Actually most islanders from the islands gain weight when they eat western foods or live here in NZ. Do you get out much bro?

You should just spend a day in Auckland and then goto the Islands and tell me who looks more obese lol. I totally agree they have nutrient deficiency due to the food limitations of what can grow in those climates but overall Fat it has to be the Westerners. Or recent natives that eat western food giving their system a shock. Interesting article was a good read.

 

[Fufu Andronez]

I reckon Corvo will be our best signing since Steve Price

He hasn't had a full geniused club like ours though has he? Anyhow hope to be proven wrong. Not sold on anything until results come our way on the field.

I'd love to see what he says/thinks when he does his initial assessments.

That I would like to know too. Besides the physical aspects of the game by getting them fit. We need more mental coaches. We have 1 but I haven't really been impressed with the lack of mental steel when the going gets tough, we just fold. I want more mental coaches/support/counseling, Instill confidence and belief in our boys. Daniel Anderson and Ivan Cleary manage to crack the mental code with our boys. SK needs to do the same or have that support around him to achieve this.

 

[Shaun Hewitt]

Positive signing it appears.
Proof will be in the pudding though.

 

[Cold Roses]

Either that, or the pudding will be in Isaac Luke's belly again.
One or the other.
