Rumours (signings, sackings & other NRL stuff)

Well it’s nothing short of a disgrace Alice.

And that’s why it’s obvious the club is playing it down, nothing to see here-rubbish.

You only get scans when there is something quite wrong. Nobody rushes off and gets scans for some residual soreness.

And we know JL, he’d rather play with two broken legs than give himself up.

I bet no-one in our esteemed coaching staff got injured, too busy watching re-runs of the the 2005 finals series.

I’m beyond furious.

Words can’t describe the contempt I have towards our incompetent coaching staff. They put players in harms way.
Dickheads.

Anyway, I hope you’re on the mend.

I’m happy to donate my knee to JL if he needs one.

And ffs I’m happy to give Benji a lobotomy to make him smarter.

He's been cleared of any serious injury and will be available for R1.

I think $1m+ players would get scans for a cold.

And so they should!

 

[Das Hassler]

Yeah, I got shit odds for us coming in the top 8,

It's all in the timing!.....I got GREAT odds the last 2 years

So the press says, I note we haven’t seen any clear scans.

At any rate it simply doesn’t excuse the fact that the cretins risked his well being in the first place.

Ask anyone at Penrith, JL is about the last player in the game who needs any kind intensive training.

He’s just built to play footy. If anything, you’d be thinking about de-training him to get him on the same page as our retained players.

He already plays the game at least 20% than we do.

You’re not really expecting to see his medical report and scans are you?

I agree Silverdale. The biggest issue (I believe) Wests Tigers have is the rookie coach and his underlings.

How many very gifted elite players have made great coaches......I'd say not many.

What's happened with Wests Tigers and Luai reminds me a little of Petro Civioniceva came to Penrith.......I remember him talking about how the training methods were quite 'old school'

I've had a look at some of the photos, there appears to be lots of strength training going on.....the elite clubs have moved away from this, because the game has gotten so much faster.....
Endurance training seems to be the latest thing.
It will be fascinating to see how this works out with Benji. everyone knows he was an elite player, but is he going to be a good (let alone) elite coach.
