Rumours and Stuff

But it doesn't fix shit attitudes, it identifies them. I think the supposed benefits of bootcamp are exaggerated.

I agree with that.

Dear @Gary Gutful ... is Barry doing a euphemism?

No, he was getting trained to get shot at. Thankfully, the only bloke the nearly shot him was one of his 'mates' on a live fire and move exercise.

which was why they made the 8 two times under him in 4 seasons and have not got one spoon

If he grows some hair they might even win a premiership.

The alternative was to sit in the 60 degree change room.

The only shade was in the f**ken 90 degree dressing room ffs!

that dressing room keeps getting hotter

The boys train for 6-8 weeks of bloody fitness in the pre season, I am sure the boys would enjoy anything to break it up. Something different

Chris Phelan i think.

 

[Chipmunk]

Chris Phelan i think.

Anyone else confirm it is definitely Chris Phelan?

 

[strider]

I think you might be correct

Howya Phelan it is

 

[Chipmunk]

I will take that as more than likely Chris Phelan unless someone can tell me otherwise...

 

[parra pete]

DEFINITELY is Chris...

On another, more contemporary topic, but very related to the photo.

Steve Edge must have been some leader of a calibre hardly seen at this club before or since.

Gibson certainly seemed to think so anyway.

Looks a bit like Rod Stewart to me. But, no it's Phelan.

Do they do boot camps because they win a comp or do they win a comp because they do boot camps?

Probably neither.

I'm sure there's more but thats just what I found quickly.

In short. Pretty common, hardly gimmicky.

How come we haven't done it before, then? Is BA a slow learner?

Well after 5 seasons he still struggles with his interchanges. Put me down for a yes there Eddie.

He certainly was. I can't think of a better captain that we've had.
