Rnd 13 team list thread vs Knights

[TheParraboy]

knights beat us last year when we were belting everyone else

they would fancy their chances

 

[forward pass]

I feel like we are the only club that the injuries seem to continually be pushed back, rather then on time or early return.

In this case Norman is not playing due to a foot injury they are expecting him to get this week so good on the club for being proactive in this case and resting him.

I wouldn't worry too much

 

[I'm a loser baby...]

Just look at those two team lists. Origin has reduced them both to reserve grade standard.

I agree - you'll put 40 on us by half-time.

AFL guy and his staff are working wonders.

It’s very exciting.

My comment had nothing to do with Norman...
More about our injury list and how each week they seem to have a week or two added to recovery time.
Don’t see his with any other club, if anything other clubs players come back earlier...

I know it’s a bit of a running joke on here with the AFL guy.
But there needs to be some serious questions asked about his training methods etc, clearly after a preseason with him it’s done nothing for us.

I heard we’re looking to extend his contract. And the first thing on his agenda will be to improve the catching mechanics of the team.

Can’t be serious?

They've got to learn how to pass it first before they can improve their catching.

If our season is done, what is the need to bring a player back early ? They could have played Gutho early too, but elected to take a conservative view. Hayne has suffered a reoccurring hip injury, so it is not illogical that his return is slow and measured.

BTW I might be wrong, but AFL Guy is head of strength and conditioning. Do you think that he influences the decisions of the re-hab dept (physiotherapists, and surgeons for players who are post op) ?

The afl guy comment was more so how we look as a team, not saying he is in charge of rehab etc.
We don’t look strong, fast etc! That’s what he is suppose to be in charge of and we have honestly gone so far back from last year it’s embarrassing!

I’m all for making sure guys come back and are fit. It’s just it is basically every player seems to be pushed back a number of weeks form original return date.
Just doesn’t see right.

AFL merkin wouldn’t know how to pass a RL ball.

I believe BA is getting a soccer trainer for that!

Not sure he is the main problem tbh

lots of dropping the ball over the line, tons of unforced errors each game

Have we got a sports psychologist on board?

plus my main gripe is our kicking game has been woefull compared to who we play on the day

Fatigue plays a big part in ball control and errors. Even poor discipline.

It's a vicious circle. You have a low completion rate and you end up defending more than most. That causes fatigue. Fatigue causes low completion rates etc.

And then that’s what preseason is for. So you can compete under fatigue

Preseason is all about running mechanics.
