Training Session Run-down

[Eelementary]

Benny..

Holy Mother of God! :shock:

 

[Eelementary]

Finchy also had the crowd giggling when during one of the drills where he had to run with the ball and the boys chased him, and, instead of running the length of the field, ran towards Gers equipment van, ran in the back door and out the side door with the boys still chasing him all the while. Wish I had got a shot of that.[/quote]

:lol:

Sounds like he's a hit amongst his peers. Which is fantastic!

timmys lookin good

 

[Stagger eel]

Thanks Nikki...and Eele I agree he looks like a freaking monster.

 

[Jake the snake]

Ben Smith is certainly a big bugger but what worries me is his leg drive and speed. For me he gets tackled very easily.

 

[Utey]

Bring it on, thanks for the pics!

 

[Twizzle]

geeez, Benny looks like a Terminator

Love Fui's hair, looks like he's wearing a dead skunk on his head

glad to hear Inu has bulked up, he needed to if he is gonna step up from PL

 

[The Eel]

Thanks for the pics Nikki. You are a star.

It's actually weird looking at Ben...Top half, he's an absolute beast...But then you see his legs and see he has twigs...:?

And I'll bet that's a real skunk on Fuifui's head - it's a new regime he has to show everyone how tough he is. Wouldn't want to get in his way come round 1, that's for sure!

Well thats to do with generating speed...if you have a look at the current top track stars, you will see the 100m runners all have big upper bodies, medium-light thighs and small calfs.....the upper body is used for a greater thrust at the start of the run, while the light legs provide maximum leg rotation from one front landing to another.....if they had huge legs this would mean less rotation thus slower speed....IMO ben if he wants to stay in the centers has the perfect body for it atm....but if he, as we all think will eventually move to the fowards, he will have to work on bulking up those legs.

Piggy forgot what game we played. Which promted a humourous response from Finchy who called him.. Oh same Sri Lankin players name I think it was..

Inzaman Ul Haq

That was quite funny. DK thought he was going to be knocked over...... Very very funny.

I don't think it is the shape of the legs that dictate speed some of those american sprinters like Maurice Green and even Matt Shirvington have huge thighs and calves, it comes down to fast twitch muscle fibres and who can pick their legs up the quickest while having the shortest amount of ground contact. Ben does'nt have that natural speed and never will but that does not mean he wont be a top class centre. Meninga and Mick Cronin are good examples of that.

if tsoulos has a injury free season i think he will be a real tyrant come finals time.

Cordoba looks much more like a back rower

ian is looking like a tackling machine, looking forward to seeing him play.
