He’s been replaced, what does that tell you??? He’s doing a good job??? You only have to watch the team and see how far off the pace we were early doors.
do you actually believe anyone is saying he has done a good job ??????????????????????????

So why has he already been replaced???? Did I say it was all his fault???? I am saying we didn't look prepared for NRL football in round 1. Deflect and spin all you like it's what you do but the club made a huge blunder in hiring this trundler. Good to see they have already realised their mistake and are in the process of moving this clown on.
Gronk is an AFL guy nuthugger

Well with Gronk who would know, but as usual he is trying to deflect blame.

He has a contract so will get paid regardless, may as well have him on the sidelines yelling motivational quotes and inputting fitness data or helping with the warmups . I don’t think we’l be seeing him when pre season starts in November - certainly not the head fitness guy anyway.

i thought it was pretty obvious he said it was a clusterf**k of a heap of things

I don't see people pointing out that that footage of players doing trampoline training is specifically guys coming back from bad knee injuries is any type of "deflection" - its just pointing out a fact

I personally think the AFL merkin is probably not useless, but I reckon he has clearly been part of the clusterf**k

I just think that AFL guy cops it a little more than he deserves by merkins who are just throwing darts at their daily scapegoat :goat:.

I doubt it has anything to do with his ability and more to do with the fact that he used to be AFL trainer and the deathriders who hate AFL wanna play code wars.

What some people fail to realise is that AFL is played for nearly 3 hours (4 X 30 mins) yet League is 2 X 40 mins and blaming him for second half fade ours is just showing ignorance.

We are burnt out due to lack of preparation in repeated efforts of high intensity / power / physicality over the course of the game. Completely irrelevant to how long an AFL game goes for

you maybe right

maybe he knows more than you and you are barking up the wrong tree for the wrong reasons

I’m sure he knows more than me. But his philosophy on what is needed in rugby league is way off. This is why he will be looking for a new job (or demotion) in a few months

It’s not rocket surgery @Twizzle

Afl players have a completely different build to nrl players. They’re also more of an endurance type athlete. We’ve further depleted our undersized pack, in attempt to play longer minutes or improve running mechanics. Noise is absolutely right, we needed high intensity type training. No way an afl trainer could improve nrl standards players with afl tactics/drills

A few years back the NRL refs trainers were using AFL players/training as their model for conditioning (not sure if they still are). Makes sense because the endurance requirements are similar (covering lots of K’s running) AFL merkin would be well suited for a strength / conditioning job with them.

How? People can know more overall than someone but still be wrong in one particular area.

well if you were a qualified in that area your argument may have more weight

I understand that frustrated fans wanna bag the shit out of their team and staff etc, but thats just an unqualified opinion as distinct from and expert opinion
