Why is Fisher Harris and JWH so good?

It's like there are just some props that have super awesome motors in them or something. Nathan Hindmarsh and Liam Fulton come to mind, though they were far more energetic then just "Tough" as the above are.


How on earth do you train for that. Easts seem to be able to do it, even though JWH is clearly a step above the rest. Melbourne I know make new starters work in a construction yard for 2 weeks so the players appreciate hard work. This makese sense, as I don't know how many people on the crazy NRL money appreciate how good an income they have.

Running the ball at or near top speed is the key.
Not many are willing to do it as the impact when being tackled is far greater, but the top echelon of players such as Fisher-Harris and JWH as you have mentioned and the likes of Reece Walsh, Dylan Edwards, Brian To’o are all players who almost always hit top speed quickly when running the ball.
Young Heath Mason is a player who demonstrates this trait, hence the reason I think he is one of our better up and coming players.

Mate ..did you watch the game against the Dragons? They got monstered ,,. Physically they were dominated

Did you notice the way we just played Into the dragons hands by trying to play it on the forwards . We had no kicking game and stopped moving the ball around to tire out their big forwards

You need a lot of fast twitch muscle fibres to be explosive. It’s very hard to increase your explosiveness, you tend to either have it or not. Fast twitch plus size/weight equals power and a damaging ball runner in NRL. JFH and Leniu have good fast twitch for big men, hence they are very good.

Hence they play for Roosters, nudge nudge wink wink

Looks like it got a few bites though, as intended.

Yeah but it's a stupid post.

Just watching Manly v Saints.
Strange watching Brooks, Simpkin, Talau, Brown, Liddell and Leilua all on the field at the one time. Like a Tigers reunion.

Funny thing is they are not good enough for the tigers but our for other teams well above us

Really love Richo. If only he had have come on board earlier we could have avoided a lot of this rubbish.

They are all a average players though. Both sides have game changers to compliment the average.

 

[GNR4LIFE]

Yeah but it's a stupid post.

It is. Imagine actually not picking up that it was a pisstake though?

 

[AmericanHistoryX]

Lucky we don't have any average players...TF

But you knew straight away from the first few words

 

[AmericanHistoryX]

I doubt that....

 

[Moh]

That statement from Richo is what I've longed for.

We are in good hands. If Richo can't fix this, no one can.

I was at my 4th children’s party for the weekend and looked at the phone and saw that. Out of shear emotional despair I took a bite. I was down and out and couldn’t resist the dangling carrot. Whoever posted it I would say it would be fair to jab them in the nose given the circumstances!

Luai brilliant half for the Panthers. He appears to love to be the dominant half with Cleary out. Big signing for WTs.
