Jackson Topine sues Bulldogs

[Mr. Shaman]

I was lead to believe from the women of social media and numpties like rapey Tate that drinking water is beta bottom behaviour and turns even blokes named Bruce gay.

League will eventually head down the nfl route in regards to training. Their cba dictates exactly how many days training are allowed, how long they can train per day and what drills they can and can't do. Any team that breaches those rules loses draft picks. They have a rat line where players can dob in teams that make them work too hard.

And any successful player will be doing a heap more training on their own

 

[Bazal]

It’s not that hard to believe.

Half the people commenting in here would probably deny water to a dying man.

Blokes who went to the school of hard knocks don't die so if you're dying you deserve it for being soft

Yep. The players are much more professional these days. They must maintain their fitness in the offseason. And like you said the successful ones work on their craft year round. That's why they make the big bucks.

League is a completely different game and the players need to work on their stamina but the day will come where teams will have to relinquish some of the control they have on the players right now.

First to go I think will be training in the middle of summer.

Bloody oath I would.. only if it was the last glass of water and he was the only other live being, other than me.

 

[JamesRustle]

It doesn't make sense when you consider players are on the water bottles all game when playing. What purpose does it serve to deny them water when training?

Not that I'm saying it didn't happen. I don't understand the thinking behind it.

So they don't get a stitch.. derrrrrr

If you are a first grader then the Tigers let you go.
If you’re not quite good enough you’ll become a tigers legend
If you’re proper rubbish the tigers cut you

and if you are somehow all 3 you become club captain and some lunatic fan tattoos your face on his leg

Bellamy runs intense pre season camps beyond extreme but there hasn’t been any complaints like this about them. Just a little suspicious about these claims from time to time.

Being a first grader, no quite a first grader and proper rubbish simultaneously perfectly describes around 95% of tigers players over the past decade.

Topine has opened the floodgates - they’ll all be coming out of the woodwork now seeking a payday.
The water thing sounds ridiculous if true, and will likely put Manly in a tricky spot with that case if true.
Feels like clubs are going to have to become a lot smarter in the way they work. Any old school type punishments or training methods will come under the scrutiny of the Courts if this continues, and if the Courts choose to ignore that it’s elite sport and just apply standard workplace laws, the game and professional sport as a whole is in trouble.

If a club presents an opportunity through negligence then whose fault is that?

The road to hell is paved with good intentions. If what manly did is true that’s f**king awful. I could never deny someone food or drink.

I think the Titmus enquiry to his death was an eye opener and the start

Old school training methods aka abuse

I'm just happy some 80 year old in a wig and gown gets to decide what is and isn't appropriate on a football field

 

[Rising from the Ashes]

Flogging players until there rooted has been a training method used in sports forever really and it’s proven to succeed, if players get a free ride and allowed to bludge they end up like the Rabbits.
