Jackson Topine sues Bulldogs

NFL hasn't missed a beat by changing their habits

the NFL has a college system spitting out 10x the number of players per year that the NFL needs, so they can just cut anyone who isn’t willing to voluntarily do what is necessary to get the max performance out of them.

endurance is also simply not a requirement in the NFL so the workouts are not comparable

42 degrees, holy shit.

Body temp got to 42 degrees. WTF!!

Read in another article the outside training temperature was 24 degrees, they weren't flogging them on a 42 degree day.

Does seem like a freak accident. How many thousands have been flogged in preseasons over the years and had not much go wrong? No doubt plenty have spewed their guts up but no hospitalisations or deaths to speak of.

gotta imagine there was an underlying health issue involved, although the trainers still should be able to identify heatstroke when it’s setting in. Clubs should be using vitals monitoring during training for that very reason. Lots of solutions that monitor heart rate and rhythm, along with respiratory rate and body temp

The NRL lower grades does the same. You only need to look at the relevant Australian schoolboys teams or junior Origin to see how few highly rated kids don't make it.

Players will still do extras, They will just do what they can handle. Take the Titmus enquiry recommendations, None of them on the surface look as though they are bad for overall performance.

Just that you can't flog a player from day 1. Week 3 on wards go for it

This kind of reminds me as to what happened to William T Santiago…Who the hell at the Bulldogs ordered the code red.
