Why did we think AFL guy would be a good idea...

Probably tried to get a jump on the rest of the competition, no pun intended

Thats a pun. Dont deny it. I liked it though.
I wonder what the story was with his appointment?
Did we punt The Cougar?
Did The Cougar run and if so why?
Was the AFL guy cheap?
Was he a mate of someone within the club?
We seriously look under conditioned this season although its had to discriminate between lethargy/effort/attitude and fitness.

It was definitely a pun, I just didn't realise until after I wrote it.
I think Palmer got a better offer from the tigers.

I believe that BA thought that his style of conditioning would work for the NRL. It hasn't and we've brought in a trainer who has more experience in strength and conditioning in the NRL. Sometimes you have to experiment and try out new things to get a competitive advantage. The wrestling techniques were once an experiment and they happened to work out. Only playing with one marker was an experiment that didn't work out. It appears we've learned from our mistake and have moved on.

At least something like the one marker experiment or wrestling is something you can change quickly if it doesn't work. Experimenting with a different type of trainer and totally different training techniques for an entire off season is a massive, massive gamble. That is not something you can change quickly if it fails. You lose a whole season. Why would any coach take that sort of gamble?

Mistakes are just excuses wrapped up in sycophancy by BA apologists. Club should have known that it was a failure before the season started and sacked him before round 1! And then used the money we didn't pay AFL guy to sign Bromwich, Korisau, Isaako & Hetherington!

As I said in a previous comment, to try and get a competitive advantage over the opposition. The bigger the risk, the bigger the reward but also the bigger the fall as we've seen. There's probably been more experiments over the years but those are the only 2 that sprung to mind when thinking about taking risks.

FFS We should've also signed Payne Haas, David Fifita, and Kalyn Ponga 25 years ago.

To go with Smith, Slater, Cronk & Inglis with Bellamy as coach

Because no proven trainer was available?

A wrong trainer is worse than no trainer.

Have we replaced the AFL guy?
I would have liked to have been there for that with my sling shot.

they were but Max was only prepared to pay $50 in search fees.

 

[Eelogical]

How hard could it be to train a footballer? Jeez, even a tree swinging ape or a ground dwelling monkey could do it.

 

[strider]

I dont think i could do it

If only I could like this more than once!

 

[Parra Cheeses]

Why did we think AFL guy would be a good idea...

Seeing as though we are in the Game day thread, If it was any other winger going for that try Bevan had disallowed they would have dived up through the air and keep feet away from ground.. Bevan has the ability just isnt being coached correctly..

Bevan is a myth. I can't see him making a career out of rugby league.

 

[Happy MEel]

I must say, some of the quotes on the AFL merkin’s Instagram page are interesting to say the least...

Any training is better than no training.
