Pre-season training

[Spoonman84]

The club put up a interview with Joe Stimson after his first few days and it is a concern that he said the fitness drills are so different to Melbourne. I'm not saying we should be copying the Storm exactly but our previous pre-season's under Pay have involved lots of long distance running and lots of clubs stopped training this way years ago. Our fitness has been a problem at the season since Pay arrived but it doesn't look like anything has changed unfortunately.

I see what your saying but he also said how fit the squad was and how impressed with their fitness he was when they played Melb last year...

Music to the ears listening to a well spoken player for a change

Unfortunately it means sh!t all for our club. We are way behind other clubs in regards to this. The way we start the season really says it all. We look gassed 3/4 through the game.

Imagine if we didn't restructure preseason after our last two attempts lol.

Welcome Joe. Looking forward to seeing you in the back row in 2020. Hope you help us towards the 8.

Different doesn’t have to mean wrong. Hopefully our program pre- season that’s in place now has us chewing the bit round 1.

Of course it is just a concern as our last two pre-seasons have involved long distance running and we haven't been fit for the start of the season. The Storm have always hit the ground running in Round 1 so they are getting it right.

Bellamy also organised closed trials while we had fuck all trials and had shitty modified intra club games against kids lol. I'll have a breakdown if we start the season in the same shape as the last two.

Pretty sure we only had 1 trial in 2019, right?
At least we've got 2 locked in for 2020 - Sharks and Raiders at the back end of February.

Now we pray the top players get more than 40 minutes game time.

Agree - Round 1 2019 proved how un-match fit they were.

Did you also notice he said what impressed him when they played the Bulldogs was how fit they were?

 

[kungfuman]

First thing I noticed, but its hard to go past the look of all those players with hands on hips early in the season

 

[Dognacious]

It's all meh to me. All coaches are different. I don't think fitness was our problem last year

 

[Bazildog]

I think the entire kennel will...

 

[Dognacious]

And fuck auto correct. It kept changing coaches to coached, why would I want to say " all coached are different". Stupid phone. There, I feel better now.

 

[Spoonman84]

Yeah I did but he’s hardly going to say they are unfit.

 

[c-b-b]

Some of the best coaches go to different codes, even different countries to learn great training methods and use them to their benefit.

I really hope we're genuinely fit and able to compete with the best teams come round 1. I'm over seeing these videos and people saying players are the fittest they've ever looked only to be disappointed in round 1 when we have hands on hips and are bunched up 20 minutes into a game.

Anyway, all the best to the boys for the pre-season and welcome to Stimson.

Exactly!!

That’s why every team gets the jump on us and it takes until end of season and we get on par then start winning

His dislike for trials is fkd up too

Do what you always do get what you always got
