I thought the exact same thing
Probs just a different name this year due to the structure
Potter is reggies coach I am pretty sure.
Probably would've been a development coach...whoever that previously was.
Andrew Patmore had a similar role -
Yeah we were too top heavy under Hasler. Was always a massive gap between first grade and juniors... couple of injuries and we were gone.
Judging by his fitness levels and the amount of running Baz has him doing, he prob misses Steve lol
You’re right. Patmore was ‘pathways’ and couldn’t have been very effective due to the Despot’s lack of interest in junior development, but even post Hasler mustn’t have been too effective as he was among the 4 let go in the football department review the board conducted in 2019.
Yep, Pots is coaching Mounties and Dave TT is the bridge between him and Baz/Furner/Sandercock. I think Hansen is more psychology, winning mentality etc rather than specifically coaching anything football. ‘Transition’ is really just a title but good to see specific attention paid to the gap between junior leagues and the NRL as the gap is significant.
i heard they couldnt believe his skinfold testing lol. apparently came back at peak kasiano levels
There are plenty of options, commonly there are 19 or 21 in the “permanent” NRL training group. That covers the majority of opposed sessions, if they need back up or fill ins (injury suspension etc) then 2 or 3 times a week they recruit in acknowledged reserves or often development players. During the season there are frequent combined sessions.
What usually happens is the top 30 players will just train all week with the NRL squad and then anyone playing for Mounties will have a captains run training run and that’s it.
