“I wanted to be lighter and Brad wanted me to be lighter. I said ‘you can’t be lifting weights and wanting to be light’. So we have figured out a good program.”

So now it’s up to our own players to develop their own strength and conditioning program. What is it exactly, are we paying the AFL merkin to do?

If that’s not a slap in the face of your head of performance I don’t know what is.

We got hammered on here for saying his methods were not suited to league. Hopefully 2018 is the last we ever see of the useless merkin.

Did you, though? I reckon a lot of folks were leery of what he seemed to be offering.

I'd suggest most of the criticism I saw was because, at one point, the answer to every problem was "AFL guy did it"....much like it was all our forwards fault, and then all Jennings' fault, then for a bit it was all Max's fault, and now it's all BA's fault...

Hayne must have turned back again cuz he was AWOL on Thursday night

Really?

21 touches, 14 runs, 130m, 6 passes, 4 dummy half runs (including two on the right side of the field, coming over from the left). He wasn't as good as the previous week but he was definitely well involved

You must have had about thirteen too many Super Dry's old mate....can't say I blame you given the year so far to be fair.

I said 'we' meaning a number of us were concerned. One poster in particular thought our concerns were absolute rubbish and that any strength and conditioning guy could adapt to rugby league

I think we all know why that poster took that position, though. That poster may not even necessarily believe that...

Possibly

Why would he need rugby league experience? Do you think we would employ somebody who didn't understand that league and AFL are two different sports? He would have asked for historical performance data as soon as he got here. He would know what rugby league fitness looks like, and he would know how to test to see where we were at.

Because those blokes aren't qualified strength and conditioning coaches. They don't know how to make players stronger, fitter, etc while minimising injury. This bloke does. The fact he is from AFL is irrelevant. You think Brad Arthur doesn't know the guy has been coaching athletes from a different sport? It's totally irrelevant. The coach would know NRL players need to be conditioned to the standard of the sport (obvious from historical data) and he knows how to get there. Any fitness coach could do it, no matter which athletes he's been working with. The human body is the same regardless of the sport. The only difference is the numbers. How to achieve them is bread and butter for these people.

I am certain the only difference in fitness between teams comes down to the difference in individual genetics and attitude of the respective squad members. The strength/conditioning guy is just there to do a job.

Because he hasn’t been wrong since 2012?

Well he's certainly had a lot of us going since then...he's very good at it.

Think you’ll find people were saying we weren’t fit / conditioned well enough for first grade rugby league and blaming the afl guy.

The latest quote from Jarryd shows that we didn’t even have individualized training programs.
